--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guess what, it appears that the infamous Senator Wyden will soon be going for re-election as the Senator from Oregon.<

>This is the very same Senator whose staff told a group of patients that she wouldnt have to worry about being mistreated in dialysis,she has connections at Georgetown University. Our patients were absolutely flabbergasted at this statement. If I would of been dressed as a gas pump,and had cameras there he would of had the meeting we were promised.<
><
>Then the Chief of Staff Josh from Wydens office told us to never contact their office again. The staffer who met with us was angered because we called 10 days after the meeting to see if they were going to do anything. Josh stated a letter would be written and not to contact them again,they do not have to work with us.<

>This is the same Senator whose office stated that we are not to call anymore....is the same Senator that kissed the microphone at our hearings and was sooooo outraged,that he fired the messengers!<
><
>Well this Senator whose platform was on Senior issues and such a champion of their causes,now is going to have to face the fact that we are
inging this little episode of his caring for rights of the seniors and disabled,and let him explain why he was on the Senate Committee on Aging and with our documents and with the senate hearings testimonies and Federal Investigations,he did nothing.<
><
>Now comes the arena of accountability, I have written a letter to the good ole Senator and let him know that we now are capable of
inging this fact to the forefront. I have contacted the newspapers and have sent the letter that was faxed and certified to the local papers,and having the letter to the Senator published as a letter to the editor.<

>We may of been considered nobodies and didnt contribute to his campaign,but we can organize patients to vote and to make those politicians such as Wyden accountable ,for the abuses and lies that they campaign on.Respect is earned ,Integrity is learned. But many articles are going to be generated from us in the Oregon area,with some help from our friends. I think it will be hard to explain the outrage that this Senator mustard up for the cameras,only to do nothing when he was approached. He as well as other politicians should maybe work in the movies...they are great with a microphone.But he cant deny this,and would love to see him try.<

>Lets get busy and make those politicians accountable for their jobs!<
