Opening Statement | Hello and Welcome, My name is Edward Janus, I am a Disability Advocate, Activist and Founder of this site. I am on a Mission. Doing Daily Internet Activism for Supporting Causes of Change. Making Our Voices Heard. Sharing Important Causes and Issues. News and Resources.
Campaigning and Fighting for: Persons with Disabilities, Senior Citizens, Disabled Veterans, Poor and Poverty Stricken, Governmental & Political Issues, Government Accountability, Fair and Honest Media Reporting. While Doing Daily Internet Activism for Supporting Causes of Change. Signing Letters, Petitions, and Pledges. Sharing my Social Networks and Weblogs. I hope, you will find the Information and Resources presented here Informative and Useful? Personal Note: I Created this Web site in Loving Memory for my late wife, Charlene Janus. And with all my Dedication and Love to my daughter, Cheralyn Janus. I would contact people by telephone, but I am also deaf. I cannot hear very well on the phone. You can best reach me by email or you may send a regular postal mail. All my activities and tasks are via Internet. With the help of good people like you, doing small actions that you can take, every day, we will make this world a better place for all of us; and then if you 'forward' actions so others can help with taking actions. This spreads, and multiplies, more and more – it just keeps a going. We will make this world better. I get motivated, and passionate by my need to help people, animals, and the earth. And I know my Online Activities are the 'only' way I can do it. Please forgive me for not Chatting, Instant Messaging, Slow Replies, and Letters. Due to having Cerebral Palsy, it is difficult for me to type with a regular keyboard. Therefore, I use the Windows 'On-Screen Keyboard’ this way I can type by clicking my mouse. This still takes me a little time to type. Regarding any e-mails and letters, and getting replies back to you.
Doing my Internet Activism on daily basics, and going through all of my letters and e-mails every day, I receive almost two hundred every day in my inboxes.
The task of sorting and answering all those letters and e-mails is getting more and more overwhelming for me. As you already know, it takes me a little time to type when replying.
If I did not 'reply' to you personally, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Should you still are waiting for me to answer a question, please resend it. I will do my very best to get back to you.
Thank you for visiting, and please join our growing network.
I really want you all to know how much your outpouring of support enlightens me, I am so grateful to every one of you. Thank You Again Everyone!
Sincerely,
Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist Founder and Owner |
