14 Amendments/Margie Swindler
Bless You , Margie!!! Yesterday I was mad enough I could have walked all the way back to Kansas, hunted Brownback down ,and smacked him upside the head with my crutch, then I finally remembered what my Kansas born Mother taught me, you don't deliberately hurt people with out it coming back to you in spades. My husband said last night, I've been married to you for 32 years and I have never seen you this mad over anything!! That Margie, was one of the understatements of the year!!!
I want so badly to do some traveling and meet some of the people I have been corresponding with for years now. I'd like to be able to walk in Heritage Park and have my Dachshund on a leash with me,to be able to spend a day walking through a Mall and window shop, and just once before I die, I'd like to walk through my home town and visit the library where my career was born.
just me, Marjorie, who is sick and tired of being sick and tired. 67/58/55
Just a word from a Kansan re: what Brownback is trying to accomplish. No one should give him the benefit of the doubt on this. He has made it clear through the years that he would like to strike down Roe v. Wade, and takes a dim view of using human cells for anything other than growing a baby in a womb.
He has learned his lessons in congress well, and will scuttle this bill or undermine it or gut it in any way possible - and will be applauded by many of his followers for his cleverness and "rightmindedness." While some of the amendments seem to be commonsense things almost every single one of us would agree with, it has been pointed out that if adopted and interpreted strictly, useful methods of research would be stopped. I have no doubt in my mind that this is Brownback's goal.
Let your senators know where you stand on this bill, and what a strict interpretation of the amendments would mean.
On my better days I hope people like Brownback never have to experience a debiliting illness like PD. On other days, well....
Margie
