A Citizen "e-Advocate" DO LIST !!! You'll notice there is NO WHERE on this site an appeal for M * O * N * E * Y !!! Nup, what is wanted here is something much more important an valuable: YOUR aroused concern and action. Even that won't require funds. Please consider doing any or all of the following: 1. Read ALL of this site -- check out the links offered -- ergo, LEARN what the situation is in Texas in re: the need for more prompt delivery of services and housing for the disabled. 2. THEN, you can speak articulately and intelligently on the issues to your family, friends, associates, churches and clubs !!! 3. Spread the word -- about the issues -- about this site! 4. Feel free to use the url in the "signature" section of your emails 5. Write letters -- to YOUR duly electeds and media contacts in your area -- snail and/or emailed. 6. VOLUNTEER -- your time and energy to an organization in your area that works with the disabled. Get up close and personal with what it is like to BE handicapped and learn first-hand what the needs and challenges are! 7. IF you feel the need to make a monetary contribution, consider the Trans-Pecos Renewal Center, Inc., a Texas non-profit corporation that does much to provide warm clothing to Indian reservations, will be hosting a summer camp for kids with Prader-Willi Syndrome this summer (July, 2000) and much more! This is a new outfit, and always in need of small (or large) contributions for printing and postage! 8. Pray. To whatever you call your diety, in whatever fashion suits you, for an "awakening" in the hearts and minds of others, to be less concerned with greed, gluttony and materialism and a little more compassionate and politically active! THIS REALLY DOES WORK !!! There's not a thing "wrong" with enjoying a comfortable life and working for "good stuff" -- but there's also NO feeling like the satisfaction that comes from having done the "right thing" with one's time, talents and actions!
