Please add whirlwind coalitionREGARDING PUNKER GEORGE TABB / GROUND ZERO ILLNESSESTim Flanary of Gilligan Fetixsh is currently giving all of hisshare of money made by the band either CD sales or live showpayments to longtime MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL columnist/musician GeorgeTabb (Furious George/Iron Prostate/False Prophets/LetchPatrol/Roach Motel) to help with medical expenses from illnesseswhich are the direct result of being exposed to toxins in the airaround ground zero in NY City in the weeks and months after theSept. 11th 2001George was living in a nearby apartment building at that time andhelped out with the rescue and cleanup after the attacks. Georgeas well as many other people have suffered from multiple illnessesand indeed many deaths have occured since breathing the toxins inthe air. We first heard about this problem from Monica ofWhirlwind Coalition and we feel it is very important to help outfinancially as well as getting the word out about this problemthat is largely ignored by media. She's dedicated much of hertime and energy in the last 7 months for this worthy cause and wewould like to help as well. -Tim from GILLIGAN FETIXSH=====================================Tim, Thanks!!!!!! for not forgetting that George STILL needs help!Before he became overwhemed by his own med bills George was a pretty loud advocate for the whole issue. Right now though he has to COMPLETELY focus on his own health sohe can get back to yelling on behalf of the others.I need everybody to help promote the fact that the tens ofthousands of people affected besides George are not being properlyhelped with their medical and operation bills.If U.S. politicians, Democrat and Republican, are aware thatworldwide eyes are on them progress will be made when proposalsfor releasing money to pay for actual medical treatments arepresented to them.If the public doesn't care why should the politicians.It is not enough to "screen" and "document" victims. Why should victims have to lose their life savings, their kidscollege funds and go seriously into debt to battle the lung andintestinal diseases and cancers and infections brought on by theexposure to Ground Zero toxicity.Slap one of the banners up on your pages to help get others tonotice the whole issue. The more people involved the sooner changewill come about.xoxo -Monica on behalf of www.myspace.com/helpgeorgetabbPlease hit reply, copy text and repost, please subsribe to blogs on Whirlwind Coalition page and if you can send a few bucks tohelp the longtime contributer to the punk/hardcore/literary scene
