Dear PIEN friends, I cannot run for Senate. I have decided that I cannot run for Senate or for any office because I am not strong enough. This morning, a caregiver quit with no notice at all, and I realized that there are limits, no matter how much people would like me to be their Maine state Senator. If anyone knows of either a potential visiting or live-in caregiver (my live-in will be leaving for a job that pays MORE than DOUBLE), please contact me immediately. I have plunged from fully functioning to home-bound in a matter of hours. Maine pays $7.30/hour, and I do not have the resources to supplement this wage. Ivan Suzman 50/39/36
