Comment on Recent hiatus by Caren Potoker

TK:
It is me, Potoker!! I was looking for you and read about your loss. No one told me about it and I read this online. What is going on with our “community”? I won’t mention names but I am truly sorry for your loss.
I was searching for you for a reason: I will need an accessible taxi to bring me home from downtown once a month starting soon. Going I’ll use AAR. But going home, I will need to get home quickly. I have to undergo treatments in my Dr.’s office. How can I arrange it? Email me at: carenpot@juno.com Again, I truly am sorry.

Right on TK! I am delighted to see Kilroy Was Here still moving around the world. You are not the first, however to use your initials instead of Kilroy. JM was first in a wonderful poignant story at:

Keep TK was Here rolling and help us get the USPS to issue a Kilroy Was Here stamp. Kilroy Was here was with every GI in every combat or other mission throughout WWII, Korea and continues today in Iraq and Afghanistan. This will be one last and lasting tribute to our veterans. Go to

Glad you are back in the saddle, cowboy. I was moved by your loving tribute to your Dad.

Comment on Thoughts on Occupy Wall Street by Ralph Giordano

Nice work Mr. Small.
I support your decision to join the Occupy Wall Street activities so long as they are peaceful and law abiding. You also lament President Obama’s policy regarding a health care program and other government agency shortcomings. But there is no equally deserving balancing movement calling fior an Occupy Washington movement.

We will not solve our countries economic downturn with remedies that criticize all with unfair fervor and visibly place blame on one segment of society as is being visited on Wall Street. The nations economic difficulties were brought on by powerful government, labor, and private sector leaders both conservative and liberal who
denied fiscal realities in instituting failed economic practices. Mr. Small we need to implement strategies that seek to limit misguided politically expedient government policies and self serving big labor choices, as well as Wall Street
greed.
Thanks, Ralph Giordano

T.K.,
Thank you for writing this. I’m a disability rights activist who lives and works from my bed. I know many PWDs who cannot travel, who participate in life from home or bed. We exist, and we can help. We ARE part of the 99 percent, as you know!
We can donate supplies, make calls, tweet, and even participate in the General Strike — even if we’re on disability.
Please spread the word and join us. We are just getting our sites set up.
We’ve started #Occupy at Home for people with disabilities or illnesses that prevent us from traveling who support the Occupy movement. Please spread the word to those who want to help from home, and to other #Occupies that we exist, and that we can help. http://occupyathome.wordpress.com and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Occupy-at-Home/.

Another timely blog! I’d like to speak with you about re-printing a portion of your blog as a NYSILC NewsBriefs article; specifically the part relating to Wall Street and the disability community. If you give me the go ahead, I’ll take a stab at this and submit it to you for your approval. Please advise.

TK,
Good to read your blog. It’s nice to hear your insights on the impact of Occupy Wall Street, independent living or the passing of Michael Imperiale. You always have a well thought out and compassionate viewpoint on the issues. Keep up the blog writing!

TK-
I share your love of our community and appreciate the opportunities pwds have in the metropolitan area to create a vibrant community. I can’t help but think about our sisters and brothers in more rural areas who are often isolated with few community opportunities. In so many ways we are defined by not only who we are, but also by the environment we live in.

Tk: I love your blog: Sorrry to hear about Michael . The only thing I can say about Occupy Wall Street
is that I believe the real enemy for us krips are Government programs that don’t help us become
independent empowered people and not the fat cats on wall street. But I will fight for everyones
right to sleep on the streets of NYC. Power To The People !

I appreciate how you connect three separate (but not separate) events. We are who we are. Thank you for recognizing this fact. When people ask me (who don’t know me) what I do for a living, I should say I am one of many advocates with disabilities looking to make change in day-to-day life. We are all connected. Thanks TK.
