ABLEnews
A WORD OF WELCOME
Dear ABLEnews Reader,
You've no doubt heard of cable news. We welcome you to ABLEnews!
ABLEnews is your BBS source for the latest information on a broad range of
topics affecting persons with disabilities and their families.
You'll learn of medical progress in the battle against death and disease,
and of medical discrimination that denies vital care to those who need it
most critically. You'll share our inspiration at the example of unsung
heroes who refuse to be defeated without a fight, and our outrage at the
incessant intrigues of powerful victimizers who specialize in making
difficult situations next to impossible.
But ABLEnews isn't satisfied with telling you today's headlines. We wish to
empower you to make tomorrow's. That's why you'll find notices of upcoming
events and activities whose common focus is to improve the lives of
disAbled individuals. That's why we go beyond reporting the news to refer
you to resources for your own further research and activity. For ABLEnews
believes that action without knowledge is imprudent, and knowledge without
action, impotent.
Our rules are quite simple, as all good rules should be. We ask that you
treat each other as you would wish to be treated. It's an old Rule and,
while somewhat tarnished, still Golden.
Above all, we ask, we implore, your active participation, by posting
stories and notices of your own, by adding your own observations to those
you find here. We want you. We need you. Because without U, ABLEnews will
never s*cceed.
We welcome you. We appreciate you. We thank you for stopping
by. Do visit often. We look forward to seeing you on-line.
For the ABLEnews team,
Earl E. Appleby, Jr.
ABLEnews Editor, and
Echo Moderator
