Re: The naming of names

[Guest guest]

Mr. Jacson:

If you are making a list add my name to it. It seems yours has been placed on

many. I do not hesitate to tell you that I support the amendment that was

attached to House Bill 2085, and I will continue to support my peers, those that

have paved the way for me and taught me in EMS. I urge you to find a way to

take all of the education you feel is so important to the rural communites.

Make it available to ALL EMS people across this state. As far as I am concerned

all of this should have been in place and available before a " next " step was

taken. Everyone cannot travel to you Dave, therefore I believe since you find

that people are undeserving of a license without a degree that you take your

program to them. What steps have you taken to ensure that they will equally be

given the same opportunity at the same education when they live so many miles

from an institution? And have you made certain that the cost to those people

will be no greater than those that live in the cities? You are an advocate of

education then I challenge you sir not to sit complacently by and watch it

unfold, or wait for Gene's program to unfold. As I understand it TJC is taking

steps in this direction, what steps have you taken? Let these rural communities

know what you are going to do for them in the future.

There are many fine people working in EMS, some with degree's, most without.

There is nothing you could say or do that would make me believe one is better

than the other. Also I believe everyone knows what your opinion of most of us

that are currently working in the field is. You have not endeared yourself to

any of us. I have remained silent for quite some time, sitting back waiting to

see what would happen. Now we know. Don't tell me if you want the education

you can go out and get it. It simply is not that easy, so this is what you

wanted what are you going to do about it? You are an educator, so educate me on

how you plan to bring this same level of education to everyone who wants it.

To all who have voiced an opinion, thank you. No two people are alike but we as

a Profession cannot descriminate against anyone for voicing what they believe in

or trying to persuade others to their way of thinking. Now let's get on with

it. The ball is now in your court Mr. , if we are going to play by your

rules then make if fair. Show us how you are going to bring the same

opportunities to Rural Texas that others have, they deserve the same care and

respect as anyone else.
