Government has great responsibilities for public safety and public health, for civil rights and common schools. Yet compassion is the work of a nation, not just a government. And some needs and hurts are so deep they will only respond to a mentor’s touch or a pastor’s prayer. Church and charity, synagogue and mosque lend our communities their humanity, and they will have an honored place in our plans and in our laws.

Many in our country do not know the pain of poverty, but we can listen to those who do. And I can pledge our nation to a goal: When we see that wounded traveler on the road to Jericho, we will nor pass to the other side.”

You have stated: “Wherever any barrier stands between you and the full rights and dignity of citizenship, we must work to remove it, in the name of simple decency and justice.”

You also said: “Wherever a door is closed to anyone because of a disability, we must work to open it.”

President Bush, we are confident that you are a man of your word. We pray that you will never turn your back on any human being in need. We ask for your help, on behalf of the estimated 12 million people nationwide with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity “MCS”, who have had their lives shattered by chemically induced illnesses. At this time there is nowhere for them to run to, nowhere to hide, what is available to others, to them is denied!

Invisible Barriers STOP those with chemically induced illnesses and hypersensitivities from enjoying the same rights and privileges others take for granted. Given a controlled environment many of the chemically ill could once again be self-reliant and financially independent “NOT” forced to go into the welfare system. Due to the extensive damage done to the liver, heart, immune, respiratory and other organs systems, Special Accommodations are now medically necessary in all circumstances of our lives. 

The devastating and debilitating illnesses caused by toxic exposures make it impossible for many to work, attend school, church, socialize or even care for themselves. Their own homes and surroundings become off limits, far too toxic for their weakened and damaged bodies to tolerate. Many are then forced into isolation, separated from families, friends, and loved ones, becoming lonely, frightened outcasts. Now severed from society, left to suffer and die Homeless and Alone!
