^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 26 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Have you ever clipped a tiny, hidden microphone on your shirt, so you could be heard ,and not ignored?? Have your masked facial expressions or wobbly movements caused you grief? SIgnals point to April 7 at 9:30 AM, when the Maine Human Rights Commission's investigator will begin fact-finding, unless something dramatic starts to happen, in my two cases against the City of Portland. My "inaudible" voice was falsely transcribed, and 5 witnesses were prevented from speaking about how Parkinson's Disease has limited my income. I have been denied access to monetary benefits. The City is being charged with more than 10 counts of discrimination and retaliation. It is anticipated that this case may lead to legislation in the Maine Capitol in the early part of the year 2000, only 9 months away. Many PWP'scan be denied full and equal treatment during legal proceedings, due to soft voices, the false appearance of intoxication or drug abuse, or because facial expressions are masked and misleading. There is much education and public relations to be done. Ivan :-) ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses deg.
