Ray.. I am with you.. I am mad as hell with Bush.. and he does not represent my mother who has had Parkinson's Disease since the age of 43...my family...my dear friend, Ray and other folks that I have met through the years suffering from this horrible, horrific disease.. Bush does not represent minorities, those who have been marginalized.. I work as an investigation in fraud in mortgage...the last case I worked on was a 62 yr old woman with Alziemers Disease who foreclosed on her home after owning for 20 years.. her family was on a fixed income and had to pay out of pocket, for the expenses of over-inflated prescriptions drugs that our health care system failed to provide...our political representatives failed to address and Bush is on the frontline It's a political battle..this wretched disease Speak On Ray... and don't apologies for sharing your truth... Cheers to the first amendment..God Bless See you at the polls.... tess -----Original Message----- From: Rayilyn Brown <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Mar 1, 2004 7:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: I need help. I need hope. I need guidance on dealing with this terrible... Frank, My needs: I need to get to the next room in my house without falling. I feel I have the right to criticize our President and shouold not have to be kind to him. When I was in the Soviet Union (1 of 3 times) our guide told us they never criticized their leaders because they were perfect. Meds that would actually work would be a good start, never mind a cure. And, Frank, Bush's opposition to stem cell research IS ONLY ONE REASON, I dislike him so much. So it's not all just my self-centeredness as you suggest. I agree Murray Charters does a great job and we couldn't get by without him, but he has chosen a safer path, no one is mad at him either, and that's fine, but I'm really, really mad at George W. Bush. I don't have the luxury of a disinterested debate. I don't expect to change your mind, but feel that I and others are entitled to our opinions. I am not Mother Teresa, that's for sure, so don't expect me to bow down to our leader.
