Mood: UBER DETERMINED! Playing: JEWEL: HANDS
Achairde All:
Well, I didn't know it but apparently we are officially an Historic Event. The first ALL Internet Human Rights Campaign! No home office, no snail mail and the Exec's all live in either different states or different countries! Take a bow folks!
Well, we’re down to the wire and naturally my computer GOT HACKED!!! Whenever I go into a program and start typing the minute I start typing it SHUTS THE PROGAM I’M IN DOWN. No, do you want to exit the program; No do you want to save before you quit. JUST GONE! Interestingly enough I can cut and paste to my hearts content. Send and receive emails, as long as I don’t type! (Did anybody besides me see "Conspiracy Theory"? First my Florida Benefits are cut the month I start reporting on Jeb's ADA Initiative and now this? Hmmm. Nevermind! "The Government is Our Friend", as per 9th Grade Civics Class.)
I don’t have the time to reformat my hard drive and restore all my programs before we finish the “FTWCS” so I’m going to need everyone here on ModBlog to tell people where the emails are and that we ALL are mailing them on January 19th. That or someone needs to email me and tell me how to fix that long file name in DOS.
So, here’s the last of the info I have before we email. First, you DO NOT have to use the one’s that I wrote for Florida, U.S. or International. I just did them as a guideline. Second, remember they have to go out the day of the 19th so that we can show our respect for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If you live outside of the U.S. that is the Federal Holiday to commemorate his life. We are celebrating his sacrifice for Non-Violent Social Protests or Actions with an Action of our own.
The addresses for George and Jeb are as follows- George Bush is: president@whitehouse.gov and the address for Jeb Bush is: jeb.bush@myflorida.com. For those of you copying your Governor there is a link on the right that takes you to an index where you can go directly to your Governor. A lot of them have ‘leave your email here’ pages so I would suggest that you copy the text and paste it in there and the send Jeb and George’s by your usual email. If I can’t fix the problem with my PC by then I will email by cut and paste myself.
I want to thank all of you here at ModBlog and from other places for the support, time and effort you have all put into this Protest. Special thanks to Co-Captain Q or My Q as I call him (you know him as Qwerty) because if James Bond had my Q he would have got more done and been a whole lot cooler. To mindcandy who is almost as nasty as I am about the government neglecting the Disabled and has worked on through his own pain and disability and alerted his students so that they can participate. To Susan for help in planing and for distributing Flyers at the University of South Florida and to Bill for the laughter and support along with a truly epic one liner. To everyone who has left a message promising they’d send an email, ask 5 friends to email (who would then ask 5 friends…Geometric Progression is a Politicians worst nightmare!) you are ALL GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks also to (and these are in no special order AND if I forgot anyone it’s my bad and I apologize!): the American Indian Movement (US); Knights of Columbus; the NAACP both in Florida and National; Students and Faculty of the University of South Florida; Amnesty USA; The Ancient Order of Hibernians; to Father Robert Morris of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and to Sister Nancy and all the Parishioners; Self-Reliance in Tampa; the Students and Faculty of the University of Wisconsin; Sinn Fein USA; the Florida Independent Living Council; to Phil Mulrenin (AOH/KOC) for his effort, love and prayers; the Doctors and Staff of the Hillsborough County Family Care Center (with special THANKS to Dr. Cheryl Reed, MD for keeping me alive); the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay; all the Politicians and their Staff who came through for us and down on the side of the Homebound and are sending emails we know who you are and WE WILL SPREAD THE WORD WHEN IT COMES TIME FOR YOUR NEXT ELECTION! Those few who ‘weaseled out’ on the Disabled or Elderly Homebound TRUST ME WHEN I SAY YOUR OPPONENT IN YOUR NEXT ELECTION WILL KNOW HOW YOU FAILED YOUR CONSTITUENTS! To Mayor Williams of Washington D.C. who said, “You can come home, again” thank you and your Staff for all the help and support.
And to the thousands of other people in Florida, other States or Territories and Other Countries please accept my gratitude and thanks on behalf of the Disabled or Elderly Homebound of Florida. You are, quite literally, lifesavers!
As always, thanks to Mo Clannad agus Charan, friends and family both Hinchey and Maier.
And for Daniel, always mo cariad.
My Arm to Yours!
Slan leat,

PS Cooper chara, any chance you and iMike could run that Flyer I sent you guys? It would help to spread the word. I know my column isn't the most techno thing in the world so if you can’t I’ll deal. Thanks! E/CF
PPS Before you all ask: Yes, I have a Firewall; Yes, I have Virus Scanned; Yes, I have run Norton’s WinDoctor; Yes, I have restored the Registry to a previous date; Yes, I have run the System Scan and everything comes back OK EXCEPT AS OF JANUARY 6TH I have a Binary Code or File Name that is too long. How I got it I don’t know because I haven’t added any new Software or Hardware and I Virus Scan my emails. And I don’t know in the Name of DOS how to edit it to a shorter length, I don’t know if I should delete it. Or even if it would fix it. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS INCLUDING TYPING MY PASSWORD IN TO START WINDOWS IT JUST WIGS OUT AFTER THAT. I THINK SOMEONE DOESN’T WANT ME TO WRITE ANYMORE OR AM I JUST PARANOID? If you know how to fix it PLEASE email me the information or I will call you on my dime if you need to walk me through it. This is an Assisted Living Device and I can’t pay my bills without it. Let's hope the Electric Company is in a good mood! ;-) e/cf
