More than 13 million seniors AND disabled are economically insecure. These older adults have to decide each day whether to pay for medicine, food, rent, or utilities. They live one missed rent check, or one health problem away from financial insecurity.

We need to make sure Congress pays close attention to the welfare of our Older AND Disabled Americans. How has this economic crisis affected the seniors and disabled in your life?

Please tell Congress what economic struggle looks like for the seniors in your life by filling in the box on the right of this screen. Your personal stories will send a powerful message to Congress that they need to do what they can to ensure economic security for seniors and disabled.

Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist - Talking about: AAPD and Technology: A Powerful Combination.

2011-01-03T06:01:00.001-06:00

Sharing news and information with you. The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Has written and published a news article regarding my cause in their 2010 Fall News Letter.

AAPD MEMBER PROFILE.

AAPD and Technology: A Powerful Combination.

PHOTO: Edward Janus

Edward Janus is Deaf. He’s a double amputee. He also has cerebral palsy. He is a widower with one daughter and does not leave his house in Northlake, Illinois.

Edward Janus is also a prolific and passionate activist who wants to make sure his voice and the voices of others with disabilities are heard around the world.

Janus, who has been an AAPD member since 2007, loves the technology that allows him to live life fully and pursue his passion for helping people with disabilities without leaving home. Like many, he uses the Internet to conduct banking and shopping, but he also views the Internet as “the equalizer.” Using a computer with an on-screen keyboard that enables him to type with mouse clicks, Janus shares an extensive store of helpful web links and resources through a website he created called Disability Network Connections found at www.edwardjanus.net. He also is a prolific blogger that you can follow at www.edwardjanus.net/FeaturedBlogsEdwardJanusDisability AdvocateandActivist.aspx

He regularly advocates for himself and others through chatting, posting letters, signing petitions, answering surveys and taking polls all online. He takes advantage of LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter to stay connected.

Janus sends this message to readers of his website: “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 if you ‘forward’ actions so others can help with taking actions, this spreads and multiplies.” He recently shared his website and pursuits with his home-visit doctor, who told Janus he was inspired to become more active about legislative issues for people with disabilities.

AAPD is important to Janus “because it has the power to change laws and really do good for people. I believe people working together can make changes and everyone’s voice is important. Also, membership in AAPD has inspired me to not get discouraged and to keep on fighting.”

Last night, President Obama announced that he's giving in to the GOP and
extending the Bush tax breaks for the rich.
The "deal" he's proposing is an "absolute disaster," as Senator Bernie
Sanders said. So Sen. Sanders said last night he would "do whatever I can
to see that 60 votes are not acquired to pass this piece of legislation."
But Sen. Sanders can't do it alone. I just signed a petition to other
leading progressives in the Senate to stand with him to block any
extension of the millionaire bailout. Can you join me at the link below?

Will you join me in asking Pres. Obama to not sell us out on net neutrality?

Internet Access for the Disabled that I have been advocating for before most knew about "net neutrality," Since 2005 I've writing letters, sending, posting and sharing with everyone Online for years now. Tens of millions of Americans rely upon an open Internet in their daily lives. And the Disabled Community depends on it because if they are homebound, shut-In, live alone and have no means of transportation. All their Outside Business may be done through the Internet Only.

For Persons with Disabilities whom live alone, this means ‘SURVIVAL’

Like myself, I am a permanently disabled, amputee, and confined to a wheelchair. Also being deaf cannot hear on the telephone. All my ‘Outside Business’ is done through the ‘Internet Online’ such as my banking, paying my bill’s, making purchases, filling out business forms and documents, writing emails and letters, looking up important information and I order groceries right to my front door. This is My ONLY means to ‘Outside World’ and Doing My Daily Business and Tasks for running my house.

2010-12-01T07:23:00.001-06:00

Don't Ignore Disability in the Fight Against Poverty.

Target: Canadian Parliament.
Sponsored by: cbm (Christian Blind Mission).

Half a billion people -- mostly the poorest of the poor -- live with physical, sensory or intellectual disabilities in the developing world. Disability hurts entire families and communities, often with one less person contributing to the family income. Disability is a significant cause and consequence of poverty, but too often it is overlooked in programs to help people in the developing world. To win the fight on poverty, we must include people with disabilities in all programs.

Subject: Repeal health care? Give up your own first!

Dear Friends,
For 2 years, GOP leaders in Congress fought tooth and nail to oppose health care reform. They did their best to keep tens of millions without coverage, decrying any effort to help citizens as "socialist," "fascist" or some other equally baffling "ist." And incredibly, they are now talking about repealing it.
Well, four brave members of Congress are calling GOP leaders on their hypocrisy, demanding they practice what they preach, and calling on them to give up their government-sponsored health care. And we couldn't agree more:
Write Congressman Boehner and Senator McConnell today. Tell them if they want to repeal health care, they need to practice what they preach, and give up their own government-sponsored health care first.

Congress Abandons Net Neutrality Bill.

We Must Save the Internet 'from the Greedy Giant Telecommunications Corporations'. We Must Save the Internet 'FOR Persons With Disabilities and Senior Citizens'. Tens of millions of Americans rely upon an open Internet in their daily lives. Especially when it comes to the Disabled Communities, Persons with disabilities, Senior Citizens. Which they may be homebound and shut-In and if they live alone, like myself.

For the Disabled and Senior Citizens. This may mean Survival.

I have been advocating for a few years now, regarding legislative and regulatory safeguards that will ensure access to the Internet and other high tech communications technology, for People with Disabilities. And that we will not be left behind. I am sure you are aware of this: “Save Network Neutrality?” An Internet Blocking and Censorship Bill, called ‘The Internet Freedom and. Preservation Act’.

I have Signed Petitions, Sent out Letters and Posted on many Blogs on this subject. I feel the INTERNET itself is very important. And MUST be Protected and Available for all of us.

Tell Congress: No new drilling. Period.

The oil industry’s gross negligence when it comes to environmental and worker safety led directly to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Yet now the industry is trying to pretend that the US federal government has created the crisis in the Gulf with the moratorium on deepwater drilling.
It was the oil industry that produced generic cut and paste emergency response plans, relied on a dead technical expert to answer calls, and assured the government that walruses that have not existed in the Gulf for millions of years would not be effected by their operations. The moratorium was a logical step to ensure the safety of the workers on the rigs as well as the ecosystems and marine life of the Gulf.
But now a federal judge in Louisiana has sided with the oil industry and lifted the moratorium!

Enough is enough. Sign our petition to Congress telling them that now is the time for a permanent ban on ALL new drilling.

Targeting: American People.

Sponsored by: Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee

August 14 marked the 75th anniversary of the passage of Social Security. For three quarters of a century, Social Security has ensured that our seniors retain their dignity in old age.
Now, Republicans are desperate to dismantle Social Security - they just can't seem to tolerate a program that helps the middle class and not corporate special interests.
Stand with Senate Democrats now and declare your support for protecting Social Security. We can't let the GOP revive their rejected, Bush-Era, Social Security privatization plan.

"WE MUST INCLUDE" Persons with Disabilities.

Stand Up for Our Seniors and Protect Social Security - Sign the Petition | Change.org

Greetings,

I want us to emerge from the Gulf oil disaster with a powerful new goal – to end the era of oil and transition to sustainable sources of energy.

That’s why I signed the Gulf Declaration that was started by some of the bestselling authors and leaders of our day such as Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Michael Bernard Beckwith. Click here to read it:

http://www.gulfdeclaration.com

It just takes a minute to read and add your signature, which builds momentum towards the goal of energy independence and the creation of a sustainable world .

I hope you can join me in taking a stand and spreading the word!

Stop Stoning!

Yesterday a massive global outcry stopped an Iranian woman, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, from being stoned to death.
But Sakineh still faces hanging, and today, fifteen more people await execution by stoning -- people are buried up to their necks and large rocks are hurled at their heads.
Sakineh's brave children's international campaign shows that worldwide condemnation works. Let's turn this family's desperate appeal into a movement that ends stoning for good - sign the petition and send to everyone::

Stop Stoning!

I signed the petition William "Dummy" Hoy National Baseball Hall of Fame (1862 - 1961) is the professional baseball player who is widely revered for being the first deaf baseball player. Part of what makes William Hoy so relevant to deaf and hard of hearing baseball fans around the country is the fact that he implemented signs for umpires so that he could follow the play - a distinction that was never attributed to him.

Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist - Talking about: Today is eleven year (11) anniversary of my wife’s death July 2, 1999

2010-07-02T07:15:00.001-05:00

Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist - Sharing My Story, Dad, Daughter Seek Hope after Tragedy.

Today is eleven year (11) anniversary of my wife’s death July 2, 1999

Newspaper Article Published and Extracted From:
Northlake Herald-Journal, a Pioneer Press Publication. IL. July 28, 1999
BY JENNIFER GIUSTINO - STAFF WRITER

July 2, 1999 'Dad, daughter seek hope after tragedy'

It is a telephone call that is easily a person’s worst nightmare.

On Saturday morning, July 3, Edward Janus was sitting with his 8-year-old daughter in his home waiting for his wife to return when his phone rang. Charlene, Edward’s wife of 10 years, and their daughter Cheralyn, had plans to visit Charlene’s mother in Georgetown, Ill.

But the trip was never to be.

After a telephone call from an employee at Firestone, where Charlene was having her car serviced for the anticipated family visit, Edward became nervous when he learned his wife had been involved in an accident.

A second telephone call from an official at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park confirmed the incident was indeed true.

“He said, ‘Mr. Janus, your wife has been involved in an accident. We need to see you and your daughter right away,” Edward remembered. “I asked him what happened and all he said was, ‘We need to see you. All I can say is it is not good.’ I guess they didn’t want to tell me over the phone.”

Charlene, due to turn 53 Aug. 15, had been pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

Struck while walking across the 2600 block of Mannheim Road just after 8 a.m., Charlene was only steps away from safety.

A car driven by Agapito Arriaga, 74, of Northlake, was heading northbound in the center lane, according to police reports, and hit Charlene with the right passenger side of his vehicle as it traveled at 45 miles per hour.

But for Edward, getting to the hospital to see his wife was not going to be an easy feat.

Born severely hearing impaired and with cerebral palsy, Edward is also permanently confined to a wheelchair.

While a neighbor volunteered to drive him, a squad from the Cook County Sheriff’s Department eventually picked up Edward and his young Cheralyn and immediately brought them to the emergency room.

“The doctor told me, ‘Your wife didn’t have a chance. She didn’t suffer. She was dead on arrival,’ ” he said. “ I just started bawling.”

'Donates organs'

Meanwhile, their only child went to her mother’s side.

“Cheralyn is a very brave little girl,” he said, smiling as fathers do when speaking proudly of their daughters. “She was standing there looking at her mother and rubbing her mother’s arm. She took her mother’s purse ... brave little kid.”

But the love and courage expressed so sweetly did not end.

Asked by the doctor whether the family wished to donate vital organs, Edward said he had no problem with the idea, but that he wished to consult with his daughter.

Cheralyn agreed without any reservations.

Her mother’s bone tissue, a heart valve, and a piece of her eye were harvested for donation so that potentially another person or several other people may have a better quality of life.

So far, Edward and Cheralyn’s decision has helped at least two people. One man from Elmwood Park and one man from Chicago have been given the gift of sight following a successful corneal transplantation, according to the Illinois Eye Bank.

But, as if that was not enough, Edward did something many may find unthinkable.

The next morning, he made and answered calls from family and friends. One call he made embodied not only his spirit of generosity, but his spirit of compassion.

'Calls driver'

Edward called the gentleman who accidentally killed his wife.

While Arriaga was “not home,” he was able to speak with his wife.

“I said, ‘I am the husband of the woman your husband had the accident with. I don’t hold anything against your husband. I'm sure you and your husband are both devastated. He has to live the rest of his life knowing that he killed somebody,’ ” Edward said, recalling the Sunday morning conversation. “ If he would like to talk to me, maybe we could both feel better about it — maybe we could both heal together.”

With complete sincerity, Edward said he called Arriaga to offer forgiveness because it was something he “had to do” in his heart.

“If I were to ever see that man face to face, I would say, ‘Sorry.’ It was an accident. I'm sure that he was not driving that car trying to kill someone. I believe he must feel very bad,” Edward said.

While it has been nearly a month since Edward has buried his wife, the family’s spirit remains intact.

“I always thought that God would not give me something I couldn’t handle,” he said. “Right now things seem tough, but I have gone through disabilities. I have had a lot of obstacles in my life and I have always pulled through.”

Hopefully, his optimism will succeed his family’s tragic loss.

“Everyone used the same word to describe her: ‘Sweet,’ they all said,” Edward remembered and then offered more sentiments. “She was very sharp. She was a tutor at Triton College for their literacy program (Access to Literacy). Charlene was a very simple and a very down to earth woman. She didn’t wear fancy clothes. She had learned to do without those things. I will miss her very much.”

Charlene will not only be missed as a wife, a mother, and a friend. Her financial contribution was integral to the family’s financial stability.

As Edward put it, Charlene was also the “bread-winner” in the family and without her income, Edward and Cheralyn have only the monthly Social Security (disability) checks Edward receives from the years he was able to work at Bally Manufacturing, where he met his beloved wife.

One member close to the family said even with Charlene’s wages from Albert H. Wohler’s & Co. in Des Plaines, where she worked for 10 years as a personal computer operator in the applications department, the family pretty much lived month to month.

And now, with only Edward’s federal disability check coming in to pay the mortgage, utilities, and the growing needs of young Cheralyn, the family’s faith will soon be further tested.

“I will not be able to provide for my daughter the way her mother did, but I am going to try,” said Edward. “I have my driver’s license, but I cannot get into and out of the car like I was able to before when I was on crutches. I can drive with hand controls, but once I am out of the chair, who is going to put the chair in the trunk? Who is going to get it out of the trunk for me?

“I hope to get a van some day with a lift and then I could just go up, and then let myself in and drive,” he said. “I have some brochures, but they’re expensive.”

While driving his daughter to school one day might be a dream to fulfill down the road, it is not as immediate as some of his goals. He would like to get some type of live-in assistance to stay nights with the family, when solving emergencies tends to be trickier. Other tasks most people take for granted, such as grocery shopping, buying school clothes and maintaining the home, are also some of his concerns.

As well, Edward wants to send Cheralyn to college one day. She has dreams too and wants to be a veterinarian, he said.

In the meantime, Edward and Cheralyn will take each day as it comes, undoubtedly embracing life and one another.

While technically, the Janus family’s postal code falls into both Leyden and Proviso townships, Edward said he considers himself a resident of Northlake.

The driver of the vehicle is charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. He does not face felony charges.

Thank you for reading.

I can relate to this type of a situation. only because when my two sisters and I were small. our poor mother sure had her hands full trying to raise us three. My older sister was born full term and fine.
Then along come me, i was a premature baby, born 7 months, at 3 1/2 pounds. Born with Cerebral Palsy and a server loss of hearing. I did not start walking until sometime between the ages of 5 or 6.
Now! comes my younger sister, about 2 1/2 years later. Like me, she was a premature, born at 7 months, at 3 lbs. Born with total hearing loss and emotional problem. I think you can get the picture what my mother's challenges and responsibilities were like over the years. With two special needs children at the same time. Thank You for listening and reading.

Polls show that 69% of Americans support a Medicare Buy-in option. There's a bill in Congress now that creates that option. I just sent a message to my representative asking him to co-sponsor HR 4789, The Medicare You Can Buy Into Act.

Because of too many People with Disabilities getting "rejected" for S.S.I. or Social Security Disability Benefits.

If you will co-sponsor HR 4789, The Medicare You Can Buy Into Act. At least these folks will be able purchase health insurance and be insured.

I want to say, I could not agree more. I say Thank you! To Representatives, Edwards and Conyers. I am sick and tired of billionaires, lobbyists, big corporations and the Supreme Court too! Polluting our political campaigns and Politian’s to any degree that they see fit with "MONEY", and a lot of it, always wins the debate.

I thought, the constitution started at the very top reads “We the People” do the voting.
I think there must be a new constitution hidden somewhere? That reads "We with Money” that speaks.

I am going to quit voting and start collecting donations, and try to save enough money. Maybe then, “I and the People” will get some attention.

We are proceeding at the grassroots level--help us get the ear of the right people to reinstate the humanity of paratransit and accessible transportation and rights of the paratransit riders and gain public ownership by people who are disabled to create a green paratransit: that means clean energy, safer vehicles, socially responsible management, integrity, and green collar jobs for people who are disabled, too.

Please Sign This Petition.

Step Up On Climate, President Obama!

The U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen takes place in early December and no one knows for sure if world leaders will agree on a climate treaty. But in the U.S., Congress is producing a real climate bill and we have to keep the pressure on Obama and the Senate to take leadership by supporting strong policy here at home.

Edward Janus | Disability Advocate and Activist - Talking about: Tell Congress to Pass the Cost-of-Living Adjustment for Seniors and Disabled.

2009-11-01T13:02:00.001-06:00

Tell Congress to Pass the Cost-of-Living Adjustment for Seniors and Disabled.

For the first time in a generation, Social Security recipients won't be receiving a much-needed cost-of-living adjustment.

In this economy especially, many seniors are struggling to get by and trying to keep up with the rising cost of health care, prescription drugs and utility bills. In times like these, seniors rely on the promise of Social Security.

Only Congress has the power to address this problem.

Tell your members of Congress to act now to ensure seniors and disabled get the relief they deserve.
