A singer in Orlando, FL has decided to use 9/11 to promote a political message and himself. Mike Meehan, self proclaimed singer, has gone out on his own and privately paid for a billboard advertisement using a national tragedy. The Republican Party has denounced this billboard but Mr. Meehan has told news reporters he plans on paying for it to remain up through the November elections despite continued calls for it to be removed. When researching more about Mike Meehan, and his web site "therepublicansong.com", one quickly comes to the understanding this is more than a political message but Mr. Meehan's attempt to sell his song and promote his desire to make public appearances for a fee. This is truly disgraceful using a national tragedy in this manner. As for Mr. Meehan it seems to be all about making a buck and not about respect for those that lost their lives. How can you assist? Please take a moment and write Mr. Meehan on his web site and demand the billboard be removed.

Recently we learned that there were many donations meant for the K-9 Task Force that were claimed and utilized by another group in Savannah, GA. Was this illegal, yes, but it's a very complicated matter at this time that is being addressed. We do ask that you please not send any further donations for the K-9 Task Force to any address in Savannah, GA or otherwise. The K-9 Task Force never solicits funding and we currently have no need for financial support. Please know your cards and letters are all the support we need right now and such is very much appreciated. If you wish to send comments, etc. to the K-9 Task Force we ask you do so via email as we are no longer releasing a mailing address. Thanks, K-9 Task Force |

Effective July 1, 2008 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has selected Logistics Health, Inc. (LHI) to take over the primary responsibility for providing medical services for treatment of WTC-related medical conditions to responders located outside of the NYC - NJ Metropolitan Area. The Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC) is working with both the CDC and LHI to ensure there will be no interruption of ongoing treatments. This is a major step by the federal government to step in and offer assistance. THE AOEC was brought onboard by the American Red Cross to provide the assistance the last three years when the feds were doing nothing. This is also a major step as most of the care was directed towards those just in the NYC area, rescue workers and civilians, with those outside of that area forgotten and left to struggle. This is a big step by the feds but no dollar amount of investment into the program was released and we all will have to watch to see how the program performs. Already they have placed some paperwork hurtles in place but with the federal government that was expected. |
