		<description>Loved #66 end comment.  I think we need someone like Don Imus/Talk Radio, or Mayor Nagen.  This guy doesn&#039;t enforce the current laws.  Only 3 companies were fined last year for highering ILLEGAL Aliens.  And they have more rights than disabled children.  Children that are in orphanages or mentally ill in New York are regularly tested on by the pharmaceutical companies.  Why would any president continue to let our children be assaulted by the Big Pharma and also endorse them from any liability if they do harm to citizens.  He is a disgrace.  I think he is the new Archie Bunker of the 20th Century, with a stepford wife to boot.  I think we know the true evil&#039;s, you have Bushism slips that you and your mom educate us on your true colors.</description>

I wish I could help, but right now I am only a law student and not yet a lawyer. 

For what ever it is worth, I can tell you that the California Bar did NOT approve the Moral Character Application of the man who murdered his sister with a pair of scissors.</description>

		<description>While the history of Hitler and his ilk is well known the American connection is not. Read &quot;War Against the Weak&quot; by Edwin Black for a detailed history of the treatment of these people and their families in the United States. 

As a parent of a severely disabled child (caused by rural water pollution) the book made me sick BUT it also made me aware of the bushie education at his granpappies knee.</description>

		<description>I am disabled, autistic. I also have traumatic brain injury from my father bashing my head against his walls to cover up drugging me and sexually abusing me when I was a minor child. 

I have lived a life of Hell on Earth, no affordable housing. Lived in my car, in vineyards in California at nite, and in a rat infested chinchilla bar with no toilet, heat, or food facilities.

I tried to pull myself up by my bootstraps. Went to college on student loans, $200,000 at last count. Fought valiently to graduate law school.

My father, who bashed my head, could not let the defective child become a lawyer and expose his National Security sruveillance work for IBM. So he spent $100,000 on five attorneys and a family law psychologist to abuse me in the California courts in a grandparent visitation, taking away complete custody over my daughter just because he &quot;could provide better&quot; on his $12,600 per month income than I could being disabled -- never any finding of parental unfitness on my part.

The California courts refused to provde my necessary reasonable accommodations to access the courts to fight for my daughter, so my mother tried to help scribe my pleadings for me. Allowing a defective disabled autistic to actually participate in court was too much for the Court system and the attorneys, so they caused my mother (who was my caretaker and financial provider) to set herself on fire and die on my father&#039;s front law with publc protest signs over the abuse, which I witnssed.

Immediately after she died, I was thrown on the streets homeless with no replacement caretaker or financial support of any kind. It was a terror-filled torture I cannot begin to descibe. I begged everyone I still knew to help me get pleadings scribed to put before the California court that killed her to ask my father to pay disability adult child support, since after my mother dies he was my only available guardian for purposes of my ability to communicate with courts and agencies for dsability benefits.

The California courts have never in 16 years given me a day for that hearing, ever.

My father hired new attorneys to threaten me, knowing he was my guardian and had fiduciary duties to assist me with obtaining the disability adult support from him, who threatened that if I did not sign a paer dropping my necessary disability support, my father would destroy my California bar admission.

Immediately aftermy motehr died, the California Bar revoked my previously granted good moral character clearance because I was disabled and my mother had self-immolated and I lost my caretaker and financial supporter. Even though I fought with them four 7 long years to get my necessary reasonable accommodations, and finally when I got them on the 4th bar examination and passed, they ruled I was not of the moral character to be allowed to become a California lawyer because I kept being homeless due to no housing in that area of California anyone on SSI disbaility could afford and because without a speech recognition assistive device I was unable to perform the tasks of working. They approved the good moral character of a murdered with 17 felony convicttions who stabbed to death with scissors his sister.

When I tried to appeal, I was never to this day, 16 years later, allowed to have my appeal pleadings docketed, never given any appeal review, and they simply closed my case in a non-final status. When I asked the California Supreme Court for reasonable accommodations to file a petition to get an order requiring the appeal to be heard, I was told by the Clerk of Court on instructions of the Chief Justice Ronald M. George that people without arms, quadraplegics, and people with autism/learning disabilities who use speech recognition will not be licensed as attorneys in California.

I fled to Florida, to try to get my bar admission there. My father surreptitiously followed me closeby concealing himself just over the border in Georgia, and continued to prey on my daughter and myself to make sure I never get my bar admssion.

I was hit in a car accident by a speeding driver who admitted not looking at the road while she was driving, and a Florida corut refused to accommodate my disabilities to enable me to participate in the traffic hearing, used but never let me see a transcript, never let me cross-examine witnesses against me, lost more than 650 pages of my disability documentation showing I had 20/20 vision and a perfect driving record the previous 10 years without even a parking ticket on it -- and diagnosed me without a medical license as being unable to see, i.e. blind. 

Having diagnosed and ruled I am blind and that is why I should lose my driver&#039;s license, the Florida courts all the way to the Florida Supreme Court held appeal review without providing me any way to complete pleadings knowing they ruled me blind!! If I am ruled blind, how could I even know the charges against me without brail??? No problem, I was convicted of a lesser included civil infraction of a criminal traffic offense I did not commit, which is not allowable as any infraction or offense existing under Florida law -- and upon this non-existent infraction/offesne I have lost my driver&#039;s license and any independence I could have hoped for now for four years and it is ongoing. 

I petitioned the United States Supreme Court, ruled blind, and no one there bothered to ask if I could &quot;see&quot; the pleadings I was ordered to file, and then, on the above facts, my petition was denied certiorari, leaving me now res judicata (all other courts and agencies must accept) that I am ruled with a new disability, I cannot see, i.e., am blind.

Now, I guess than makes me eligible for all blind disability benefits of the States and Federal government, but how can I explain to them when I apply how I can see with 20/20 vision but I have been ruled by the United States Supreme Court as blind, and all other courts and angencies must accept this diagnosis? Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has no reasonable accommodations on its driver&#039;s licensing tests to accommodation people ruled and diagnosed blind!! Even though I can see.

Now I am being denied my Florida bar admission for more than four years, because I cannot access the Florida Board of Bar Examiners web site Florida Bar Application since I use speech recognition device and have simultaneously been ruled diagnosed blind and cannot see. 

When I pursued my cases for my disability rights, a Vessel surveillance platform was docked adjacent to my husband and I, where we lived on a decrepid sailing vessel (due to no affordable housing in Florida), and was recklessly tied during 2004 Hurricane Jeanne ensurecd to kill us. And of a disabled person ruled  by the United States Supreme Court as blind!! Why? Because I tried to enforce my disability civil rights?

Even though the Magistarte ruled we have a meritorious six-figure salvage claim, the other side, that only substantiates ownership of the offending Vessel with unreliable xerox copies, brought forth an admitted perjurer who committed perjury under Oath in Federal Court aout his licensing, to conceal the whereabouts of the person who homicidally tied the Vessel. See, &lt;em&gt;Petranos v. The Vessel Mistress&lt;/em&gt;, M.D. Fla. 04-cv-2534.

So, to crush disability rights of a person who has 20/20 vision but ruled by the highest Court in the land to be diagnosed blind, the perjurer brought forth to conceal the person who tried to kill my husband and I to stop my disability rights lawsuits, has been allowed by the Bush administration&#039;s FBI, US Coast Guard, and Federal District Court Judge James D. Whittemore to masquerade with false licensing credentials threatening the National ports security in light of Dubai.

I just wanted everone to know that even when a disabled person tries to help themselves to be independent, working, and productive, the only fate the Bush administration intends to allow is their death and destruction. 

And I have been ruled and diagnosed blind!! When is Florida getting me my seeing eye dog?</description>

<p>I was hit in a car accident by a speeding driver who admitted not looking at the road while she was driving, and a Florida corut refused to accommodate my disabilities to enable me to participate in the traffic hearing, used but never let me see a transcript, never let me cross-examine witnesses against me, lost more than 650 pages of my disability documentation showing I had 20/20 vision and a perfect driving record the previous 10 years without even a parking ticket on it &#8212; and diagnosed me without a medical license as being unable to see, i.e. blind. </p>
<p>Having diagnosed and ruled I am blind and that is why I should lose my driver&#8217;s license, the Florida courts all the way to the Florida Supreme Court held appeal review without providing me any way to complete pleadings knowing they ruled me blind!! If I am ruled blind, how could I even know the charges against me without brail??? No problem, I was convicted of a lesser included civil infraction of a criminal traffic offense I did not commit, which is not allowable as any infraction or offense existing under Florida law &#8212; and upon this non-existent infraction/offesne I have lost my driver&#8217;s license and any independence I could have hoped for now for four years and it is ongoing. </p>
<p>I petitioned the United States Supreme Court, ruled blind, and no one there bothered to ask if I could &#8220;see&#8221; the pleadings I was ordered to file, and then, on the above facts, my petition was denied certiorari, leaving me now res judicata (all other courts and agencies must accept) that I am ruled with a new disability, I cannot see, i.e., am blind.</p>
<p>Now, I guess than makes me eligible for all blind disability benefits of the States and Federal government, but how can I explain to them when I apply how I can see with 20/20 vision but I have been ruled by the United States Supreme Court as blind, and all other courts and angencies must accept this diagnosis? Meanwhile, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has no reasonable accommodations on its driver&#8217;s licensing tests to accommodation people ruled and diagnosed blind!! Even though I can see.</p>
<p>Now I am being denied my Florida bar admission for more than four years, because I cannot access the Florida Board of Bar Examiners web site Florida Bar Application since I use speech recognition device and have simultaneously been ruled diagnosed blind and cannot see. </p>
<p>When I pursued my cases for my disability rights, a Vessel surveillance platform was docked adjacent to my husband and I, where we lived on a decrepid sailing vessel (due to no affordable housing in Florida), and was recklessly tied during 2004 Hurricane Jeanne ensurecd to kill us. And of a disabled person ruled  by the United States Supreme Court as blind!! Why? Because I tried to enforce my disability civil rights?</p>
<p>Even though the Magistarte ruled we have a meritorious six-figure salvage claim, the other side, that only substantiates ownership of the offending Vessel with unreliable xerox copies, brought forth an admitted perjurer who committed perjury under Oath in Federal Court aout his licensing, to conceal the whereabouts of the person who homicidally tied the Vessel. See, <em>Petranos v. The Vessel Mistress</em>, M.D. Fla. 04-cv-2534.</p>
<p>So, to crush disability rights of a person who has 20/20 vision but ruled by the highest Court in the land to be diagnosed blind, the perjurer brought forth to conceal the person who tried to kill my husband and I to stop my disability rights lawsuits, has been allowed by the Bush administration&#8217;s FBI, US Coast Guard, and Federal District Court Judge James D. Whittemore to masquerade with false licensing credentials threatening the National ports security in light of Dubai.</p>
<p>I just wanted everone to know that even when a disabled person tries to help themselves to be independent, working, and productive, the only fate the Bush administration intends to allow is their death and destruction. </p>
<p>And I have been ruled and diagnosed blind!! When is Florida getting me my seeing eye dog?<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=468092', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>I&#039;ve worked with disabled persons for over 30 years. Undoing the stereotypes about &#039;being worthless, retard,&#039; etc. has been a daunting task. I&#039;ll never regret one minute of my life spent on this. Now, along come the &#039;compassionate conservatives&#039; to set us back 30 years on services to our disabled, in order to compound the wealth of our elected officals and their cronies. I&#039;m disgusted.
I&#039;m mad. G&lt;em&gt;W, you&#039;re a pathetic excuse for a man and will pay for your actions with eternity in HELL.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>It is obvious that this new brand of zealot republicanism really has no platform at all.  They are the saving fetus party and that is about it.  

Fiscally responsible - not any more, largest deficit ever
Tax cuts - only for the rich and take away from the poor
Small government - not so much, Homeland Security
State&#039;s rights - not at all anymore
National security - Dubai

They have nothing and are the party of emptyness and fast talk.  Ironically, Clinton was a better republican than Bush.  Funny huh, trolls?</description>

		<description>In order to further the demise of public education, local schools will be forced to pay more and more of their funds for the care, maintenance and education of disabled children, including those whose disabilities require around the clock care. It is not unheard of for a school district to expend $100,000 per year for just one student.

This comes at the expense of the education for the rest of the students. The resources for non-disabled students will dry up. 

Public schools are already subject to No Child Left Behind&#039;s impossible mandate for improvement. Soon, very soon, ALL public schools will be deemed a failure and taken over by the federal government.

The failure of public schools will justify providing vouchers to the &quot;successful&quot; private schools. 

Witness further the decline and fall of the American Empire.</description>

		<description>Where are the compassionate Christian conservatives -- the Republican loyalists -- now?  Will Pat Robertson kick in a few of his ill-gotten dollars-for-prayers to help these kids?  Will Tom DeLay and his charities give some money to help the kids?  Will Bill Frist, a proud physician, give some money to help kids in distress?  

Treasury Secretary Snow is asking to raise the debt limit, again -- even though our debt is now nearing Nine Trillion Dollars.  It&#039;s shocking.  Shocking.  

When our country is bankrupt beyond repair, the Republicans will hand it off to the Democrats who will be forced to raise taxes to historic levels.  Maybe then, &lt;em&gt;maybe&lt;/em&gt;, the mainstream Bush loyalists will realize they may have made a mistake.  Maybe.  

Maybe the faith-based organizations will step up for the kids in the name of Jesus.  Maybe.</description>

		<description>As if these kids don&#039;t have enough to contend with, society - in the guise of George  W. Bush - will be saying  &quot;you are worth-less.&quot; Makes me ill.

These guys are shameless.  For Bush to say one thing -  (We will) &quot;continue to work to remove barriers that still confront Americans with disabilities and their families.â€ - and do the opposite is beyond the imagining of all except perhaps Josef Goebbels, Hitler&#039;s propaganda minister.</description>

		<description>I would like permission to quote you in a letter to the editor I plan to write.  People need to know how the cuts in spending are going to affect them.  And they need to have it hammered home until they understand.  I hope that everyone, EVERYONE who voted this corrupt, evil, self-serving corporate machine into office is thoroughly and completely ashamed of themselves.  Look at George Bush and behold the face of petulant, mindless and monstrous evil.  Words can&#039;t describe the horror we have inflected upon ourselves.  And the children will suffer.</description>
