Mouth readers pop their cork on a variety of topics and concerns of importance to the disability community. We welcome your "two pops." I can't write like Lucy, who is always occupied with a new issue or project and can't update the website anymore, and I won't be reacting as much to the letters I put up here, but I'll do my best to get them up and keep them going up.

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 12:08:38 -0800 Hello Mouth! I am counting on you and all who read Mouth to keep the disabled community focused on those of our disabled brothers and sisters who are warehoused in institutions. I am working at assisting people out of institutions into the community (with the Independent Living Resource Center in San Francisco). We have a monster sized (1200 beds) nursing home called Laguna Honda Hospital. Since it takes such a huge chunk of money to keep it up and running it leaves very little for people to "choose" how and where they receive their services. It doesn't seem like much of a choice if it is "nursing home or the street"... Please keep the MOUTH as strong and honest as always and I urge every activist/advocate to be aware of the Laguna Honda's in your community! FREE OUR PEOPLE! Jana O. San Francisco, CA <janao@earthlink.net> |

Mouth wants you to speak right up right here. Let the world know who you are and what's on your mind. Click here to send us an email. We will print your email address at the bottom of your comments. If you would prefer, we will print your name, city and country instead. Just say so. Some of these letters may appear in the print version of Mouth. We do edit both email and snailmail for length and clarity, but never for meaning. Your meaning is your own, even when we don't agree. We think you'd be surprised how few people pick a fight with us. Come on everybody -- bring it on! |
