Re: Jeff Snyder aka Cosmic Starfish in the news

ey Frank,

I hope you don't think I'm a sell out, but I made a music video with Santa Monica to try and win the competition to have Google bestow 1GB of Fiber Optics in the city.

I'm just letting you know because I admire you so much and on some level I want you to be proud of me.

But the best news of all is that in a few weeks my wife Mari and I are having a baby girl, Sofia. I look forward to the opportunity to introduce her to you one day.

All the best! Jeff

great about Sofia, Jeff! She is a lucky baby! You for Dad!

Now, where did you get the wacko idea that I am opposed to "selling out?"
my price is extremely high for a true selling out [doing something that runs against my principles even in the short run]. But make me an offer!

Your tune is extremely catchy. You could sell it to every city!

In Freedom,

I literally had no point of reference for it--it was definitely part of my education in Berkeley, and yes, you can take credit for helping to expand my worldview. I would love LOVE to be in the May 30th show. "

Fw: Healthcare Reform! What About Seniors and Disabled? (Paul Escriva)

Hi Frankie,

Okay, I just sent letters off to my senators in Illinois requesting that they support maintaining in-home care for people with disabilities in California.

I'm a bit confused....doesn't the ADA state specifically that there be equal access?Does not the definition of the term 'equal access' include in-home care? (PA'a and such) My understanding was that the language used in the ADA was specific.

I realize that Governor Swartzenegger had cut funding to pay PA's.... hoping that there wouldn't be enough cash to go around and so by default people with disabilities would have to be institutionalized.

Am also aware that he has slashed your monthly funding and other people with disabilities.

What I am confused about is how Schwartzengger can threaten to end something that is mandated by the feds? It's a bit scary to me.

Since I am no longer working for the Deaf/Deaf Blind/Speech Disabled community I am finding my ability to untangle the mixed-messages coming from the media both confusing and difficult.

Can you help me to understand this? Or at least point me in the right direction?

Ugh...poor you guys.

Paul

great, Paul! that is what is needed now... People writing /calling their senators and Congress members!

I don't see how he can realistically politically just end the program, forcing thousands of people into institutions or the street. But he could refuse to pay the state's portion in a game of chicken with the federal government.

Frankly he couldn't care less about equal access, etc.

Healthcare Reform! What About Seniors and Disabled?

Congress made history on Sunday with the passage of major healthcare reform.

But 465,000 low-income seniors and disabled Californians are still in danger of losing the only care they receive that allows them to live safely at home. And 350,000 California caregivers are still in danger of losing their jobs.

That's because Governor Schwarzenegger is threatening to end the state's in-home care program -- unless the federal government contributes funding for the state in-home care program.

Ask your member of Congress to make sure California gets its 'fair share for homecare' by strengthening the federal contribution to in-home care in our state.

Take Action: Tell Your Rep To Keep In-Home Care Funded in CA!

mmmmmm... Arnold Swartzenegger is after me! I don't know why he wants to put me on the street or in an institution. Ok, I have never voted for him.... But...

PLEASE CALL!
