My Favorite Senator has Passed
« on: August 30, 2009, 12:14:43 am »
 I want everyone to Know that a real hero to AIDS/HIV has died just recently. You all know him as Ted Kennedy. How many of you knew he wrote the Ryan white Funding when it was mostly a Homosexual disease in this country of USA. He was Over health and community health programs. It might be hard for all of us to believe that someone in the SEnate actually cared about us. He supported getting Our new President in office Obama and I hope he didn't make a mistake about that desision he made to help him get in office.I personally was wanting Hillary Clinton, but at least she is in a High positition non the less.
God bless Ted Kennedy and all of us he helped in the early days.

Sincerely,
Jerry Robbins
1997 is when I found out, being deathly ill. I had to go to the hospital due to extreme headache and fever. I fell coma like,  two months later weighing 95 pounds and in extreme pain and awoke to knowledge of Pancreatis, Cryptococcal Meningitis, Thrush,Severe Diarea,  Wasting, PCP pneumonia. No eating, only through tpn. Very sick, I was lucky I had good insurance with the company I worked for. I was in the hospital for three months that time.
