The article, crafted by Melanie Asmar, examines the funding cuts to the Developmentally Disabled here in Colorado. The story follows Sean through a typical weekday with his lunch, swimming and walking with his care-giver, Doc Davis, and shows Sean at home. It also shows the bureaucrats' hollow answers that predictably pass the buck at every turn. Passing the buck is so much easier than coming up with any possible solution to the way Colorado is implementing draconian changes without adequate advance notice to families, care-givers and even the agencies involved with providing local services to the developmentally disabled.

Great job on this article, Melanie. And excellent photos, Ellen! Thank you for helping to get this terrible and scandalous situation OUT THERE so that people know what this corrupt government is doing. You have joined the ranks of those who speak for Sean because he cannot.

and you can check out a website dedicated to giving Sean a voice Seans Voice

ironic google ad on the blog

As I was reviewing the last post I made - the one with the video of His Highness, I saw an ad - it urged me to sign up for e-mail updates from Governor Bill Ritter!!

Ironic considering I have been requesting the Gov actually answer our questions about the State of Colorado and the hack job they have done on support for the developmentally Disabled.

Hey Ritter - if you have time to do updates in order to try and be re-elected then you have time to actually answer emails about the job you are supposed to be doing right now.

Shopping for brekkies

We were in King Soopers this morning - Sean and I, getting the stuff for brekkies.
