A Thought About the Media Rejection we get for Plagio

March 9, 2001

Hello All,

Well I survived yesterday without laying an egg! I did a little

clucking, but I didn't sprout feathers or Cocka-doodle-do. ) And

sorry guys, I meant that last post as a humorous type of

post.......it is hard to be a wise a## and have it show on the

computer.......but that was my intention.....anyone who has spoken to

me on the phone, knows I am a very serious wise guy. )

But anyway, during our very lengthy drive yesterday to CT, my husband

and I discussed why the media doesn't want to get involved with

Plagio. What we believe......and you can tell me what you

think.......is that the media, the AAP and everyone linked with the

Back To Sleep Campaign, is afraid that if the REAL truth comes out,

that parents will start putting their babies back on their stomachs

and thus leave them susceptible to SIDS. And that is the reason why

they are afraid to run a full length, feature article.

My husband and I have thought about this in length and we think we

have some ideas on how we can approach this. I am going to speak

with today and tell her my ideas.............once I get her

input, I will let you all know what my hubby and I are thinking.

Also, just another thing to throw out to you is that I just finished

writing a letter to my district Congresswoman, Sue . Sue

is trying to pass a bill through the Senate that will make insurance

companies pay for corrective surgeries for Craniofacial disorders.

In my letter I respectfully request that they also include corrective

procedures so that Plagio babies will also be covered. Once I get a

chance, I will post all the information for the various congressman,

connected with the bill, so that you all can write letters as well.

Talk to you soon,

Jaya Dong
