UN Enable - That is right ladies and gents next contact the UN
This is a great idea... A great start and somehow - Observance of ONE ENTIRE DAY wait a minute, let me post the full article...
UN Enable - International Day of Disabled Persons, 3 December 2003The observance of the Day in 2003 will focus on giving a voice to the human experiences of disabled persons. The voice of persons with disabilities is ...
The International Day of Disabled Persons aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of disabled persons in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
The observance of the Day in 2003 will focus on giving a voice to the human experiences of disabled persons. The voice of persons with disabilities is seldom heard in the mainstream media. When persons with disabilities are portrayed, they are either stereotyped or presented as an inspiration for “overcoming” a disability. Observance of the Day should therefore be used to offer an opportunity for persons with disabilities to speak for themselves.
The theme of the Day is based on the goal of full participation and equality of persons with disabilities in social life and development, established by the World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons, adopted by the General Assembly in 1982. During the almost twenty years since the adoption of the World Programme of Action, initiatives have been taken to realize its goals worldwide.
Completing ten years, the Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities represent a strong moral and political commitment of Governments to take action to attain equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities. Standard Rule 1 calls for States to act to raise awareness in society about persons with disabilities, their rights, their needs, their potential and their contribution.
Awareness and information about the situation of persons with disabilities is critical if full participation and equality are to be achieved.
Observance at United Nations Headquarters

Hmmm.... Just in case the nay-sayers of the crowd missed it before... I never give up, NEVER!
I wonder who in the UK would be interested in helping also? Hmmmm... Maybe other parts of the world might be interested, and maybe not...
The ANSWER IS ALWAYS NO... If you never ask the question.
Knowing that US Medical Insurance companies break the law, are un-ethical, and more and ABUSE it all in the NAME of business... THAT IS WRONG! That is NOT busines, that is RAPE!
