Congress.org Mold and Katrina, Who is Watching the Hen House?

[Guest guest]

FYI,

Was asked this question off board about what to write when you go to

Congress.org and click on " Mold and Katrina, Who is Watching the Hen House? "

Hi Sharon,

Maybe the person that said it was too complicated meant they didn't know

what to write. You are great at writing. Maybe if you typed up a letter and

people could just fill in their names or whatever then more people would

send their stories? Just a thought. I loved what you wrote and really liked

that you mentioned Brown. I am waiting for a reply from him about our

lawsuit. He is helpful with advice but not helpful at all with taking any

action against anyone.

What I would write would probably be different than what many others would

write. We all are impacted by the denial of mold induced illnesses as being

real, however we are all impacted differently. For example, those who cannot

receive fair settlements in construction defect cases because they are not

able to prove the health damages that have been done to their families as a

result of the construction defects, are different from those who are having

difficulty with their worker's comp claims because of the denial of the

legitimacy of these illnesses..... are different than those who are tenants who

are

not able to receive compensation for their lost health from landlords, etc.

This is how they are controlling all of the financial liability, is through

the medical community. In particular, the CDC. No matter where you were

made ill, if can't prove you are ill, you can't collect for damages. So...if

your doctor is being fed a bunch of propaganda that says you are a whiner and a

liar only out to get money or you need psychiatric help for your hysteria

about mold, there is a good chance he is not trained to acknowledge your

illness is real. This is why so many of us are treated with total distain by

the

doctors who we ask to help up. And this, in hand, limits the liability in the

courtroom and in worker's comp claims.

One of the things about effective marketing, is to keep it simple and stick

to a soundbite mantra. So, what I would encourage people to write, would

deal with the medical communities denial of our illnesses as legitimate and how

difficult it is to find a doctor who knows how to help. How many of us have

seen numerous doctors before we really found someone to help? How many of us

have been treated so shabbily by the medical community? This is where we

need to focus in order to win this war!!!

Here are two examples of soundbite mantras strategically placed as the final

sentence in the document:

From the ACOEM Mold Statement-final sentence -_ " Current scientific evidence

does not support the proposition that human health has been adversely

affected by inhaled mycotoxins in homes, schools or office environments.â€_

%20The%2

0Toxic%20Mold%20Issue,%20August%202005/exhibits/pg%2021%20ACOEM%20Spin%20Sente

nce.txt)

From the National Association of Realtors website Mold statement - final

sentence -

" Thus the notion that 'toxic mold' is an insidious secret 'killer', as so

many media reports and trial lawyers would claim, is ‘Junk Science’

unsupported

by actual scientific study.â€

It would be my suggestion to write about how we are:

1.concerned for the victims of Katrina

2. sick from where ever

3. not able to find medical help

4 the impact on your life

5. we need an investigation of the CDC as to why the medical community is

not being trained

6. End it with the catch phrase - " It has long been known that molds and

their toxins can cause serious illness in humans. The CDC has perversely

allowed

financial interest of some to be given indecent precedence over the welfare

of others who have been made ill by mold in the buildings of stakeholder

industries " .

If anybody wants to edit #6, go for it. Let us know if you come up with a

better mantra.

Keep it as short and sweet as possible
