thanks for the assist kyle, 

my senator in georgia had told me he'd look into what
needed to be changed, but, i really think it was just
lip service. 

i plan to try out the senators and reps here. 

i'd really like to get a chance to sit in front of one
of those committees and just tell them staight how it
really is.

but don't anyone hold your breath too long for
anything to happen. these politicians have things on
their mind and it is not people with disabilities that
works for the feds.
