Action Speaks to Health Care Needs in Our CommunityDescription:Senator Daschle should come to our event because our Bay County Community has been "bypassed by civil rights, and every human rights program initiative and implementation, extended, continually to heal our Disadvantaged Residents (trying to) Enter America's Mainstream(D. R. E. A. M.). These Disadvantaged Residents are, disproportinally, being "left to die" without helping healing hands of those Health Care Centers and Programs in our community, directly , in our environment. Just last week, 3 residents came to me for help in acquiring appropriate Health Care. 1. A 61 year old Black woman, working-class, worked in the postion as Managing Cashier for over 15 years. Victim of Automobile Accident at the end of 15 years of service to one business. She had trouble acquiring the appropriate health care which , upon partial healing, her physician determined that she would be unable to return to any public Relations job or position because of damages done by the automobile accident. She was forced to go back to the same type of work which would provide her some type of Health Care Insurance. She worked for another year as cashier-retail. Her disability--neurological, forced her to , yet, seek another job career. She found a job as Senior Custodian for a religous organization. She worked for 10 years. On October 30, 2008, she was told 15 minutes before 4PM, "R---, we are having a staff meeting in about the next 15 minutes. While she was finishing up her work in a designated section of the building, her supervisor walked in behind her, along with 2 other administrators, outright , without remorse of her situation, tolerating continuing pain, so that she would have, especially , decent Health Care Insurance where she could continue some degree of natural healing and medical treatment. On October 30, 2008, her Blue Cross Blue Shied ended. She didn't have any idea that her health care insurance would end, immediately, as her 10 years of service to this religous organization, exceeding her job duties, to maintain her insurance, specifically. A few days later, she found out there was no "unemployment" to draw temporary income, while she looked diligently for employment. She has no help to continue to get some kind of emergency health care...I am working with her on acquiring some amount of Health Care, whether from a private grant, public grant, or human development org that would provide her with health care assistance in her forced transition of her livelihood. 2. Another local American Disadvataged Resident, age 59, voted the first time, for President-Elect Obama. He's black male. He spent over 30 years of his life in prison, for crimes he "couldn't control alone, parents and other family disfunctunal to the highest degree. While in prison, he sought God, through Muslim Doctrine. He changed his name. And, on that note, allegations of crime, continued damaging him, naturally and spiritually. He seeking any job and willingly going to work. But, every day, his legs swell up without any medical treatments or medicines. While in prison, he was being treated as diabetic patient. On his relief papers from this incarseration, no mention of his diabetic treatment. There's no immediate Health Care assistance, he is forced to contend with swelling legs, everyday, trying to do hard labor. There is no ideal of what is causing this daily swelling, nor does he know what kind of Health care needs he has. He needs immediate Health Care. 3. Military black male trying for the fifth time, to draw disability, specifically, that he can have appropriate medical treatment and medications necessary for him to live. He has been residing at the "Local Mission" since March 2008. This American soldier grew up here. His father worked over 30 years at the "shipyard"(now closed and Daddy and Mother Deceased). His past includes he was the one and only black male student allowed in a local white school, as band member. He was also identified as a "Gifted child" minority in 1969. He has been forced from his parents' property to live. He has documents proving he is one of three children, on the official deed of property, where he lived with 2 other siblings , and 2 parents. He has no finances. Forced from his home. Warrants of "No Tresspass". He appears to have some mental healthcare, immediately. He has had a stroke. And, 2 heart attacks. He is 56 years old. And, a veteran from the previous war. He fought for the lives of other Americans. Yet, he can't get the assistance of America's Health Care assistance. Panama City, Bay, Florida is long overdue for "Change" ILike, President-Elect Obama, envisioned a "Change" program to enhance excellence Education for my three bona fide Gifted and Talented" Children. Though I was injustly convicted of taking my children out of the local school system, I implemented an excellent education program which guaranteed my 3 gifted children would have appropriate individualized education that met each child's educational necessities. All of my children, black, have succeeded the American Education institution, and are living independently, taking care of their families, with raising gifted children, (my grandchildren), using the smae education program that I, first implemented with my children and others like them. I was also able to reach out into the community , implementing the very same education foundation on Heritage to make some changes happen in Panama City, Bay Florida. I know this community, and have, in the past, implemented many "Meet The Needs" seminars and workshops on Health Issues to benefit disadvantaged Residents (trying to) Enter Into America Mainstream. The problem is "Uncontrolled Prejudice and Discrimination" in the seats of local, state and national program leadership. This oppressive leadership has never been appropriately challenged because of a lack of advocacy for those of us, positive activists, visionaries, when it comes to implementing health care and other positive programs beneficial to the working - class, middle-class and poverty-strickened American Residents. "Our Cry for A King" is real---demonstrated in the Presidential Election Nov 2008. Florida added over 600 Thousand more voters. A visit to our Health Care Seminar will be an answer to many prayers, an inspiration and encouragement as well as a "Challenge of Faith---" to each and every middle-class, working-class, senior citizens and disabled Americans. And, so, we begin, again, with the presidential, and other advocacy of the most recent orgainzations, I have joined, because of my realistic commitment to support our new President 2009-2012, I will host as well as coordinate and implement this "Health Care" Seminar December 26, 2008 in my apartment/ residential recreation room of my residential building in Panma City, Florida. Time 6pm-8pm. I will also order Health Care pamplets/literature to hand out from CDC, Washington/Atlanta. Senator Daschel will be welcome as well as appreciated, if the decision is to share our program on HealthCare.
