Several times I have mentioned that there seems to be a Social Security disability purge in process. It doesn't garner attention... I guess those of us affected aren't on the radar screen.

I have come across too many disability recipients being cut off to think this is just business as usual... this looks like it mirrors the massive cut offs of Raygun, during which thousands of people killed themselves because they had no other way to survive. Are we going to wait to see if there is a repeat of this massive die-off?

I have heard from other DUers who have received cut off notices. (No, I won't give their names without their permission.... just know there are several.)

I have asked for help with this, as the reason we are being targeted now is that we DON'T HAVE VOICES, and WE DON'T HAVE LARGE SUPPORT! They know they can off us, because we won't be missed. Very few people respond. It just doesn't register.

One person who wanted to help wanted me to turn over my papers, which I won't do. I won't give personal information to someone I haven't even met, nor would I ask anyone else to do so. I said that it would make sense to contact any group working with disabled people, to see if they have some hard information, but that met with silence.

Even without that information, massive protest would serve notice that our demise would be noticed, and not tolerated.

So, I ask again... as you fight the Cat Food elite, could you please remember those of us who are being threatened Right Now?

Could you register anger that we are being put through this?

Could you let it be known that our disappearance won't be accepted as business as usual?

Can we couldn on you for this?

We would appreciate it.

Thank you.
