Stand up and be counted

Many elderly citizens can not speak for themselves. They have been removed from society, locked away behind electric doors, warehoused in nursing homes, power and control of their lives, income, property all taken away from them.

This is a terrible situation. Yet it is happening to hundreds of thousands of elderly Americans. This is a great travesty of justice. No one is free in America so long as the parents or grandparents of any one of us is warehoused!

I call for all people who love America and their parents or grandparents to take a stand with me and work to rectify this situation. It is a crime against humanity to warehouse the elderly!

Take a stand today and begin to rectify this terrilbe situation. There are better ways to care for the elderly than to warehouse them in inhumane institutions.

This is a issue which Democrats, Republicans, Independents and non-party affilates should all support. It is an issue which effects all citizens for we each have parents and/or grandparents and should we be blessed to live long enough we will all one day be elderly.

I urge everyone to stand up and be counted. Visit ERA (Elder Rights Association) and
learn what has happened to one elderly American who has been exploited by the broken elder warehousing system!

Thank you for taking a moment to do this.

Should anyone else have a horror story to tell about their elderly parents or grandparents please post it in comment/reply to this post. People need to read these stories and become aware of what type of abuse and exploitation is going on in these often archaic hell holes that call themselves nurshing homes. They are not nurshing homes ... they are death traps!
