Political letters and legal documentation in View My Pictures!http://groups.myspace.com/pt2disabledcivilrightslif elibertyThe Supreme Court Olmstead decision in layman’s terms two mentally disabled sisters’ last name Olmstead patients were institutionalized criminally insane Word in Georgia. The Supreme Court stated having someone incarcerated against their will when they have not committed any crime against anyone else and not suicidal were illegally incarcerated! What the doctors continually wrote in their report that the two elderly women last named Olmstead said that they were no harm to themselves or other people and should not be in this type of institutional setting approximately 8 to 10 years. The Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional for individuals to be incarcerated against their will when they did not commit any crime or were not any threat or harm to society. On this ruling 30 states tried to appeal it finally gave up because they could find no holes in the Supreme Court Olmstead Decision. Georgia said they did not have the money the Supreme Court said we do not care it is against the law to incarcerate somebody against their will when they did not commit any crime and are no danger to anybody else including themselves. Supreme Court saw rate through George’s claim an obvious lie.The commissioners' brief and another, filed by 30 national and seven Georgia organizations, document the cost differential between institutional and community care. For example, the daily cost of care in the mental retardation unit at Georgia Regional Hospital-Atlanta, where the women were confined, was $283 in 1996, compared to the daily cost for community services of $118 to $124. National studies cited in the briefs show a similar pattern. For example, one compared community costs, including housing, of $60,000 per year for a discharged psychiatric patient to $130,000 for criminally insane institutional care. http://www.accessiblesociety.org/topics/ada/olmsteadoverview .htmThe Supreme Court Olmstead Decision the highest Court system in our nation 9 judges sits on the bench for life. Judges 6-3 ruling that made a legal precedence’s in the United States and that is why they are supposed to be community-based med waiver programs and consumer directed care. I did not write the law or make it but as far as I am concerned it’s only a piece of paper worth $.10 or less in other words nice wallpaper and that is exactly what it is unless the nation in forces themselves obey their own laws. All law is no good unless it is in forest from my experience and my life this is not happening. I didn’t make these laws but that does not give the government the right to totally ignore them.That is against the Constitution of the United States of America just because government officials say they cannot afford the community-based med waiver or consumer directed care is working and costs approximately 50% less than in a nursing home and would give more opportunity for jobs in this great nation and cost the taxpayers half as much. Which Florida Governor Charlie Crist is now cutting the waiver programs so that many people are being forced off or will have reductions in care? Which is against the law according to the Supreme Court Olmstead Decision? Community-based programs med waiver and consumer directed care pay through Medicaid and Medicare? In other words they are breaking the law and the except for Barack Obama which is only presidential candidate to respond to my letter! I guess the rest of the presidential candidates do not care about Disabled Civil rights. Wake up and smell the coffee!Sincerely,Scott G. LaLonde
