- ABLEnews
- A WORD OF WELCOME
- Dear ABLEnews Reader,
-
- You've no doubt heard of cable news. We welcome you to ABLEnews!
-
- ABLEnews is your BBS source for the latest information on a broad range of
- topics affecting persons with disabilities and their families.
-
- You'll learn of medical progress in the battle against death and disease,
- and of medical discrimination that denies vital care to those who need it
- most critically. You'll share our inspiration at the example of unsung
- heroes who refuse to be defeated without a fight, and our outrage at the
- incessant intrigues of powerful victimizers who specialize in making
- difficult situations next to impossible.
-
- But ABLEnews isn't satisfied with telling you today's headlines. We wish to
- empower you to make tomorrow's. That's why you'll find notices of upcoming
- events and activities whose common focus is to improve the lives of
- disAbled individuals. That's why we go beyond reporting the news to refer
- you to resources for your own further research and activity. For ABLEnews
- believes that action without knowledge is imprudent, and knowledge without
- action, impotent.
-
- Our rules are quite simple, as all good rules should be. We ask that you
- treat each other as you would wish to be treated. It's an old Rule and,
- while somewhat tarnished, still Golden.
-
- Above all, we ask, we implore, your active participation, by posting
- stories and notices of your own, by adding your own observations to those
- you find here. We want you. We need you. Because without U, ABLEnews will
- never s*cceed.
-
- We welcome you. We appreciate you. We thank you for stopping
- by. Do visit often. We look forward to seeing you on-line.
-
- For the ABLEnews team,
-
- Earl E. Appleby, Jr.
- ABLEnews Editor, and
- Echo Moderator
