I am still under the impression that we live in a democracy and I have a right to express my opinion as well. This is not a partisan issue. I am 62. I have voted as a Republican until recently and I believe in the sanctity of life. But I defend my "subject title" as I see it. The actions in question have had nothing to do with legislation, they were instituted by executive order. I feel it is the millions of people suffering from potentially curable diseases and conditions all over the world, not just Parkinson's, who are being attacked by a vocal minority, as demonstrated by the space you have taken up on this subject. There is nothing that hasn't already been said that you, I or anyone else on this list can add to the topic. My suggestion is that we agree that we disagree and leave it at that.

Thank you Dave for your encouraging and thoughtful words. Let's stop the attacks. It's counter productive. Expressing concern is one thing. Accusing the President of declaring war on Americans clearly crosses the line.

Regardless of personal feelings, however, using this forum to portray the President as a villain does nothing to help our cause. It only polarizes the list members. There is a difference between expressing concern and criticism regarding policies and actions, and undertaking personal attacks. The latter is counterproductive. > > Dave Bergford > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
