Mouth,

I am out of prison -- the nursing home I was placed in for two years.

I fought with all I had. With paper, pen, stamps, envelopes, I wrote to the President of the United States, the Vice President, my congressmen, my state senators.

Plus I would disconnect the computers and throw away the plug in and outs. Same with the telephones. I would disconnect the cords, throw them away. They did not want to hear my voice. I made sure they heard no one else. I did this from one in the morning 'til five in the morning.

I had New York State Department of Health coming on surprise visits.

The administrator asked me, "Just what do you want?"

"Freedom of choice to go to my own apartment.

I would push medication trucks
out fire doors, open all fire doors from the first floor and the second floor.
I had a pair of scissors. I cut many wires -- one of the main wires to the electric doors so they stayed opened.

I would cut the water supply off.

I plugged all the toilets with plastic bags and toilet paper in the name of justice for all, against the abuse that goes on in nursing homes.

A fire has been started
and the fire will not go out until all prisoners are out of nursing homes.

Mrs. Dolores King

Catskill, NY 12414
