New Years Greeting and a Note from Irene Masiello

Please down load for FREE letters to senators, congressman and the president at our site
www.paradisecosts.com or find them in the book, *Paradise Costs with afterword by Bennett Blum, MD (second edition) a long with petitions to pressure the legislativors to STOP ELDER ABUSE NOW by enacting the Elder Justice Act...it is NOT perfect but it is a start.

I have been saying this for 3 years....what is the need to reinvent the wheel? While we "fiddle" seniors die. My father was killed and his forensic report indicates foul play and yet too many of us want to reinvent the wheel instead of pulling together.

We all hang together or we and our families will all hang seperatedly.

The Elder Justice Act does NOT address the institutionalized violence being committed against elders by those who work for the justice community--like guardians. A bad bill can open up the door for more abuse of this nature, which is becoming an epidemic. For this reason I cannot support the bill.
