On Aug 1, 2007, Karen Gonzales , from Nevada  comments: It doesn't seem fair that a person who is attempting to overcome a disability and not be a drain on the 'system' should be discriminated against just because a few concessions would need to be made for that person. I thought that was the purpose of the ADA? I would think this person more then any other would give students a 'can do' attitude and be a great example for all.

I realize many of you have signed my petition. If you have signed this and you sent my petition out lately. Have you forwarded it to others, have you spent some time sending it to your friends of friends?

It would be greatly appreciated if you would spend some time promoting my petition. Do you belong to a group that would support returning me to employment? Please post this on any group that which would be appropriate. I do have a "can do" attitude and I'm working very hard to pull in the signatures. Let's have a streak of signatures on my petiton that will break previous streaks. Last top signature day I had was 50 sigs. Let's see if we can beat that and show that you have a "can do" attitude and share this with your friends and friends of friends. I'm sure that all of you want to rectify the injustice of being constructively discharged. Haven't viewed my job performance yet:

The Care2 Team has sent you a butterfly

Butterflies are our way of saying "Thank You" for taking action.

You received this butterfly for Popular petition Those with Disabilities can Contribute to the Community! Reinstate Richard Lewis at CCBC!

Why a Butterfly?
Care2's goal is to help individuals make a positive impact on the world. The butterfly symbolizes your ability to make a difference.

The flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can set off a storm in Texas. Isn't that an amazing statement? Physicists call this theory "The Butterfly Effect" to explain how the breeze produced by a butterfly's wings could set of a series of reverberations that over time have a tremendous affect on weather patterns thousands of miles away. Now imagine the impact of millions of butterflies...

When we send you a Care2 Butterfly, it's our way of saying thank you for taking action. The reverberations from your actions, along with other Care2 members', will have tremendous positive effects on the world beyond which any of us can see.

Thank you!
