Announcement from Managers of Social Security Disability Coalition

Important SSD Coalition Update

Hi Everyone,

I truly feel we are finally on track and ready to get the world to

sit up and take notice of who we are and the problems we are trying

to resolve with the SSD system. I am happy to report that as of

9/8/03 we have over 2000 signatures on our petition.

Although in order for Congress and the media to really understand

and get involved with what we are trying to do, we need to grow that

number into the MILLIONS since that would be a TRUE reflection of

how many people 400 registered members in our group. I ask that

EVERYONE here first sign the petition themselves if you have not

already done so. Then tell at least 10 other people to do the same

and if those 10 tell ten more, the numbers will grow proportionately

to more adequately reflect the seriousness of our situation.

I realize that many here are under great stress still trying to get

their benefits, dealing with their illnesses and may not be up to

this task. If that is the case please get a family member or friend

to help you.

Please do sign the Social Security Disability Reform Petition at:

< http://www.petitiononline.com/SSDC/petition.html >

Next we are soon coming up on election time and next year is the

most important of all, the Presidential and congressional elections.

That gives us just about one year to heavily campaign for our own

cause and vote accordingly with those who support us. I suggest that

you all go to the documents section of our website and copy the

petition and the link and go to the following website: Congress.org:

<http://www.congress.org> Type in your zip code and it will give you

the info on all the elected officials in your area.

Send each one of them a copy of the petition, the link to see the

signatures and read the horror stories and then your own personal

story. If you get any responses save them and send copies to SSD. If

you are already getting your benefits save them for when you are up

for review and send them at that time.

At the same website in the media section put in your zip code and it

will give you all the media contacts for your area. Tell them about

our group, the petition and your personal story. Again if you are

not able to do it yourself get a family member or friend to help

you.

I have not been on the boards much lately because I personally (with

what little energy I have been able to muster) have been doing what

I have just asked you to do, because I want to make sure that those

of you still struggling will not have to do so much longer.

I am in the process of getting a personal meeting set up with my own

Congressman here and am going to request to speak on the floor of

Congress in Washington if they will let me (even if I have to be

carried in on a stretcher). I also got very good response from the

article that ran in my local newspaper and have been answering many

e-mails that have been coming directly to me.

I ask that from now on if any of you have questions or need to vent –

please contact me directly rather than on the message board at:

<ssdcoalition@h...> (hotmail.com)

That is the best way to reach me these days. I also have my own

health problems I am dealing with, which seem to get worse with

every passing day so if I don't respond right away please

understand. I just hope I live long enough to one day see the

reforms take place which we are fighting so hard for.

Bless you all – be well!!!
