[Saving Arizona}
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following was previously submitted, but still relevant today, and viable implementations are hard to decipher without a table of contents…Hence the following, a list of the items discussed in my position paper, entitled:
Saving Arizona.
My computer has been on the blink, I’m circulating this to EVERYONE I believe may have use for the topics. The topics are reasonable and customary for government; hence I’m circulating it around.
It is named after a movie, called “Raising Arizona,” where the parents are delinquents, misfits and morons.
I hope that you make use of these items, consider implementation &C.
Thank you for your time, attention to detail and industry.
Sincerely,
Rosemarie

Submitted for reform only....
A sense of humanity:
Let us speak of GOD first, and not of reform, but of The Peace and Love that is our GOD. Infinite, we spend a lifetime trying to comprehend what has been done for us. Our sufferings are nothing compared to what he endured for us, but in them we are ever-nearer Him. In our final hour, like in our worst day(s), most high triumph's, terrible lows He is amplified if we seek the face.
The privilege of Citizenship:
"The call to arms:"
Some thoughts, many words on IRAQ....
Sometimes it doesn't look too pretty for mankind. Look for after all that has been said about land ownership, greed, self-preservation and patriotism? For all of
Time we have been called to arms.
Since this is a time of war, let me not be construed as a hypocrite, rather a moderate, and independent, a Person who feels that America should no longer be involved in war, but that if it is....we need to examine our consciousness...I.E. if your country called you, for combat would you go? If they called you for non-combat, potentially dangerous position/or combat, what would you do Miss Dundon? I asked.
(Having had the influence of Mom and Dad, their commitment to children and not themselves and the discourse on Socrates...),'wherefore it is that this society made me who I am,' &c, this allowed me to grow and build to be whatever I am and I am not...I have previously volunteered...would I go now? Where would my sense of responsibility be, where is it if I do not come to the fore? In that you have called what will I go, final answer. I asked myself. I am still dismayed to-day.
(This writer, having explored so many of these social other and life-death, person by person, political, anthropological issues, has in retrospect presented some things here erred, where I was near nowhere, totally preoccupied, disorganized. So forgive the storytelling if it be too distracting or worse: desensitizing? THANX).
Today, I called and answered the call to volunteer, the third such invitation this year and I was turned down; I was delighted to have that conversation, I think it was unfair to turn me away for being on on medications, and I know it is illegal, technically or debatably; maybe this essay will land me in combat, no consequence, my obligation has been fulfilled: I answered. Tomorrow I will call back and volunteer again, and that will make a difference.
Maybe there is work for me here, among the rhetoric among those who philosophize?
I no longer wanted to go...therefore, and since I will not be allowed to work as military personnel, I will volunteer, here in America, with the population I am most familiar with those who are victims of Mental Illness, trauma and the more horrible effects of war, one's which I am not familiar, being "lucky," We all are: VERY GRATEFUL - TO THE SOLDIER...I realize to-day that I cannot just sit and make suggestions on how things should be done. I am not a Senator, a representative, a city council member; am I obligated? No? Yes. Someone is going to listen?
I am, I believe, noteworthy for my success' and failures and were I to die, it would be little consequence; So why be perplexed? I'm exactly who they're looking for. 'someone who’s got nothing to loose. Life is precious, we do not give it away, we fight with all we have to keep it, but also, those who have no one make the best soldiers, in my opinion. Those who do other things can because that is their calling, their conscience and their understanding of the truth.
I objected to going because I don't think Iraq can be helped anymore in warfare by us, and I think we're out-front, while they are not. This I know to be a region without borders, a brotherhood, and that Afghanistan, Iran those are areas of 'the real war,' Afghanistan and the potential end of our world society. Each country could very well turn against one another on the world scene. We will not survive as a human race if this does not get summarily ended.
Why can't they stop the passage of passenger vehicles into IRAQ? "no can do."'No passenger vehicles inside IRAQ? "so you can blow us up?'" Why has the citizenry not been evacuated and if not are they hostages of sorts? Let the soldier’s duke it out, and don't be used as a pawn.
This, it is a war blamed on us, perpetrated onto us because of who we are. I do think we should have gone to war originally, and to this time still, but there should be no longer be bloodshed; it is time for a cessation; we are most grateful to those who have gone to prevent that "the death of society" and from entering our shores....Our condolences to those who live in our hearts forever. To the rest, You are appreciated: Thank you for your service.
Over the years, I have come to see that most of the time you cannot do as much with strength and force as you can with [simple?] diplomacy. Force alone is insufficient. Diplomacy greets the other side, or drags them kicking and screaming to the table; sometimes force is necessary to keep peace, to provide protection, and of course for the dispensation of diplomacy to be made tenable. One who is about to commit suicide is to be held back from doing the act, is he not?
One may say, after reading this that it is disorganized, frenetic and impossible. I submit, there is no such thing as impossible, we will work together,
we shall provide an American Lifestyle, to the extent that it is and uses its full potential...here goes....hence, onward to Domestic events, which were the origination point of this now voluminous series of mini-series essays within an essay paper. It is hoped that it will be of service and used as a starting point.
Therefore, I will go, final decision. On the domestic side: Societies' ills, today I believe, are really a logistical, economic and "not in my back yard, not my problem" problem...I submit, humbly I hope, that there are natural reactions to poverty. These are quite human and perhaps realistic or even practical, but these the above are contraindicated to who we're trying to be, Americans. No one, should go hungry, homeless, without medical care, or resources here or anywhere; we need to start over. Let's begin, shall we?*
Begin? We nearly never stop trying to revise ideas, but can we just for once agree that we're working on better solutions? This document has been added to, the final form will be sent out to all original parties with revisions. (Let's not make excuses for delays, 'just apologies...I am sorry).
Most of the populace [probably] feel burdened with their own family demands, but can they, and will they continue to "look away?" No, I think we're better than that, and I challenge them to be better than that.
We've all heard, "Build it and they will come..." (from the movie, “Field of Dreams”), now it is time to juxtapose those words: Come and build it, Build it and come and Will they come and build it? In no grandiose fantasy, in no glib homily in any excessive hubris we will attempt to take the vision of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the next level, but not as a few, but as many. (Don't forget, he had Eleanor!) This job will take the work of everyone involved: All of civil service, the community and those who wish now, or wish later to participate in society, ours. I refer you first to these action plan(s) begun here, before the offer you have extended here, action plan(s) to Endeavour to do this very thing: create a wisdom base, utilize the efforts out there and coordinate those efforts into a cohesive body of operation(s). Like what, you say? Coordination, Logistically and Fiscally sound funding, resource and operations of services to all those who are needy: disABLED, aged, mentally ill or living in poverty; also, but not limited to those who wish to exceed or excel at what they already do in the world, or perhaps to become what they've always dreamed of. Me, I'm no FDR, I'm a girl from Queens, with no such current aspirations. (hyperbole) This is not, nor is any of my work for self aggrandizement, instead it is that I have been SSOOO close to being homeless, I have been hungry and I have been empty handed many times and this is NOT necessary at all.
One benefit of citizenship is voting, democracy and the voice of the underserved.
VOTING:
That being said, in conjunction with all "agents and agencies and individuals" who wish to get involved should register by calling the local voting area where they cast their ballot and just say what they would like to do for this effort, what their interest is &c. Voter fraud can and should be reformed*:fingerprinted
bar-coded, picture ID cards with an individualized pin-that only can be accessed by The Board of Elections Database; notable is this would be one which should be attached to “The White Pages” on-line internet database; can we make it that way it would be automatically updated? (No duplication of votes? Can we re-create a system, one without cheating, where everybody is 'heard,' it's easy to vote, and no one looses? Probably not.) 'Come again? It will take a while, lots of optimism and mutual respect and honesty. Can we create an Addressee ID? OOOOHH,probably not, consider, all addresses registered with who lives here, there, or anywhere?
Census information would be easier to obtain, The Census Bureau would interface with the IRS, POST OFFICE AND US>CITZENS through the voter database; we stand to gain the most, but no census forms ever arrived at my house for me? Are they supposed to be picked up at libraries and banking institutions? I never knew, please advise.
*When the person "pulls the lever to vote," have the machine spit out a data card enclosed in the machine, to be retrieved if needed: backup file."Recount?"
Organizing America further involves structures of society, namely~
INFRASTRUCTURE:
Those who drive, take public transportation or wish to get involved, but have barriers to getting involved should also call. We should try to make all efforts local, within walking distance to our current homes.
The first question for those who wish to enter the Pilot Program: “Poverty to Prosperity Program is”:
What would you like to do? And when? Me? I'd like to be 'President of my life' but God already has that job.....what he does through me is all I can do.
Please read a copy of what I wrote up in my blog recently:
This would be an effort to break down barriers to progress, prosperity recovery and resolution of social and personal illness' of all kinds: poverty, disease, sustenance, dreams, recreation, social reform and The American way applied to all, "Each one teach one, they say..." So, (having said that), I wrote this after reading my mail...
Dear Msgr. Kevin Sullivan:
Executive Director - Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of NYC
It not only breaks my heart to see those less fortunate than me, to be unable but not unwilling to contribute it makes me want to take action, right away. Thank you for your letter. It arrived with the "Community Access “paperwork and flyer for action as well!
Copies of what projects I would like to promote are enclosed, and why I propose them,: a need to make a difference in the world of the mentally ill and all those who suffer from poverty and disaster.....By trade I consider myself a Peer Advocate which is a specialized Social Services Worker for The Mentally Ill. Some of us work with the dually diagnosed, Mentally ill and chemically dependent, I do not.
The purpose of this letter is to tell you and everyone I can reach about services that help maintain the American Lifestyle and Standard of Living we strive to deliver, protect and defend so vehemently in the world.
Today, I believe it really is a logistical, economic and "not in my back yard, not my problem" problem...I submit, humbly I hope, that there are natural reactions to poverty: Quite human and perhaps realistic or even practical, but these the above are contraindicated to who we're trying to be, Americans. No on should be hungry, homeless, without medical care, or resources here or anywhere; we need to start over. Let's begin, shall we? I plan to distribute this letter as much as possible, anywhere I am able. It is a cry out to the populace. 'You are burdened with your own family demands, but can you continue to "look away?" No, I think you’re better than that, and I challenge you to be as it is, better than that.
(Addendum: There is a lot more to do, in terms of action plan(S) than just distributing this, but I continued.....)
Please:
1) Donate to pantries, at houses of worship, at civic centers and at drop in centers.
2 If you are able to do this, then ask yourself, 'Do you have any idea how much it means?' Perhaps you don't?
3) Remember that no one helps themselves, if:
a) They don't have the energy to get out of bed and get dressed, if they don't
b) have the clothes "That make the woman..."
c) if they have been up all night 'sick with worry' and they are deteriorating mentally,
d) if they sink into indigent status, become displaced and loose everything,
e) if they are out there, helplessly lost and asking for your help and you turn away.
When you see homeless people, did you every think of buying them a sandwich?
Did you ever give them a Metro Card and tell them where the nearest HRA Office is? Consider that they are mentally handicapped at the moment, sincerely, anyone who stays out there is more than disadvantaged, and they are actually entitled to the MOST IMMEDIATE CARE, would you not be able to help? I was (emphasis added, and added here).
So Msgr, we need to make the resources known to people so that they can be used. The populace will, contribute if they see homeless, needy and healthcare resources return. Go the reverse route offer the service, and the resources will come.
Do you know what HRA said to me? They said, "'What happened to you? and how may we help you?'" They did not say anything that made them "The Big Bad Wolf." Anyway, the goal is to have a Pilot Project called "From Poverty to Prosperity."
(Addendum: then I stated the goal of the process I am proposing, perhaps a rather lofty one at that....but still in all conceivable and possible, I believe).
We want to eradicate poor living conditions, poverty, homelessness, the decline of the American Mind, Mental Illness, Social Illnesses, The lack of community, (I'm am guilty of this, in a general sense I am not communal with my neighbors, I don't really know or trust them. I see them, I know that they live here or there, they may look familiar, but truly like many people, I'm not sure who and what my neighbors are really like) and Social ills like crime.
The plan, so far, would be broken down, preliminarily as follows:
1) HRA, SSD, FS, CC & All Services would be gathered and listed in a catalogue, and this would be put on a Master List, better and more available than the departmental and 'Private' or unknowns' that are out there. (Addendum: the following...) Make the master list a nationwide database, accessible to the public at Job Centers, Libraries and The Department of Labor Centers.
Simple implementation:
Let the Individual take a survey to see what they may or may not be entitled to...then direct them to those Service Centers.
This alone would cut interviewing and paper flow and centralize all services.
2) The "Pilotteer" would walk the individuals through the system, very much as they do now. You do not have to be a social worker to do that, you don't need a degree, you just need to be there and be compassionate and understand, do you not?
3) Follow up is Absolutely necessary, daily until the person is IN PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY and functioning at their highest, best and at (their most successful), goals. (Addendum: 'IN PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY' really means: wherever they wish to be in life, not where they are 'placed by life's events.'
4) This program would turn out to be a National Alliance, like NAMI, but it would be BOTH/all of the following: Government, Civic Organizations, The Secular groups and religious groups, because everybody does care; the data is there, it’s just not being used. The Government knows very well what corporations it funds and why. Bring the family back together, in one form or another, create the systems of community and do not allow corruption in the community, "You're not from around here, are you?" All you have to do is stop the nonsense, it's all based on fear.
I submit that if the consequences of being a good citizen were health, happiness and whatever you wish to be, have and see, then we wouldn't be "Imagining" (as The John Lennon song goes), we just wouldn't have the time. Perhaps we'd have the burden of having to "Create" problems for ourselves?
I'd also like to share a recent memo:
(To be circulated - anywhere at all,
this document is an essay, now.....)
To: Whom it may concern,
The United States Government,
Annenberg foundation,
Hague adoption consortium,
& You all out there, anyone who'll listen,
Questions, sometimes last, should be first, hence, 'QUESTIONS:
Does it serve The Government, The Tax Payer and The Individual Business Man(?) to SELL Surplus', unused materials, land, vehicles Etc., instead of investing in America, it's citizens' businesses, the poor? Hoops, “Not for me” most of us may
say, but industry breeds only industry; try again, folks....
Why not use the seized funds to fund social welfare and awareness of services to improve the public good?
Why can't we reform healthcare? I'm working on it.(See blogs for more).
Why can't we encourage this personal success and actualization by: making flyers and program information available at schools, voting polling places, libraries, The Post Office and lending instructions?
Note:
I am aware that there are programs to do this; this is an idea on how to do it directly and without bureaucracy.
Where is "I’m sick, where’s the doctor?" Access?
1) Some doctors don’t take your plan?
OUCH. There should be doctors available who do.
We don’t seem to be able to regulate healthcare.
From birth to hospice, we should be covered, plainly.
2) There is no telling how much doctors pay for healthcare.
Hours. Years &C, but that’s got to change too. Overworked doctors make mistakes, delegate too much and do amazing work for us, but the cost in human capital is enormous; people die, get birth defects &c, naturally and
due to causes within and beyond control.
However, I submit that:
a) we need more Doctors, they are being discouraged.
b) hours, scholastic demands and paying dues is unbelievable difficult; conversely, they make a very good living, even luxurious.
c) The hospital system: needs to be systematically reconsidered: Ours are excellent, but there is always room for improvement, quality assurance is built in to any product, tangible or intangible or their is 'failure.'
So what does reform begin with, and what does it look like?
Reform:
1) "medivac:" Customized traveling satellite hospitals to visit the home immediately; an ambulance larger and capable of more facilities.
2) Radio frequency walki talkies to the hospital standard ER for onsite instructions.
3) Transport by car, van/minibus' [that we already have] for doctors to arrive to a disaster.
4) Contracted services ordered before hand: no enormous endless 'black hole' of expenses out of control. No increases for x number of years, contract employment for the: medivac, the walki talkies and minibus'
5) Healthcare:
a) Why are supplies so expensive? Medications sometimes out of reach? Who is responsible? This is not a business, this is life and death, is it not? Profit before People should be illegal. How dare you extinguish life. Life is good. aren’t you, sir, madam CEO?
Supplies should be cheaper, why are the suppliers not cooperating? Whose buying that stuff? Vendors have to have partnerships with buyers not a hostile relationship, one of understanding: YOU DO HAVE MY BUSINESS FOR X TIME X AMOUNT, X DELIVERY DATE AND I NEED THE FREIGHT TO BE FREE.
You don’t want to hear: “I’m sorry, we decided to buy our medications from Canada.”
Canada has decided to exchange doctors with us, and we have decided to ask them if we can exchange patients with them. If their facilities are cheaper, ours have to compete. That is business…
Let’s have healthcare be more profitable by consulting foreign countries on healthcare; call it “A Heath Symposium”; doctors can go and extend health services without even leaving here; state by state we can do this, let’s start here with the UN.
Stated purpose:
1) Stop, impede or control preventable and unpreventable disease in foreign countries: Africa?
2) Social upheaval is due to personal violations, human cruelty and orientations that are stringent.
3) Abstinence.
4) Education
5) Removal from the home by the government - if violated by someone at home. Transport to another place and placement services so that the individual is not running with a naked child in the brush.
7) Doctors can exchange their services for education in foreign countries; this is a way for them to 'pay their dues' but the time, in hours and years is less with more exposure to varieties and specialties.
I’m so nasty here because otherwise people die. They die young, their sick, they don’t feel well, they don’t have access, they are depressed. Life is good. Keep it that way.oooh. My mistake? (Sorry! For the abrupt manner…)
Why are the hospitals becoming like Home Depot? No.....that’s a biggie.No good. You can’t make hospitals a conglomerate, laying people off and consolidating; our services need to expand and there is a better way:
1) It is understandable, in all seriousness to cut costs, but in human capital there are limits to what you can do, unfortunately, there has to be a better way
a) Transport and fill all hospital beds.
b) Cost per bed should be cheaper then. This is a service, not a business-service.
c) Send staff where needed too. Their time should not and is never-ever now to
be a waste; it is critical. The network of hospitals should coordinate the efforts of employees in such a way as to draw employees temporarily from one hospital to another; even if this is only for a matter of hours only; those would be optimal hours; there would ultimately be less lay-offs.
2) Create a new network: kind of like "air traffic control"
Similar to what you have now, but have agencies used to do services that take too much of nurses time.
In other words call in a nurse’s aid, hha &C. All hospitals should be overstaffed, not understaffed. How? Well....paperwork is a waste of time. All transactions can be automated with more use of Dictaphone, Professional Stenographers and fast longhand dictation methods.
a) Let that stuff be contracted out. People need jobs, these are people who are professional record keepers, masters at their trade. Give them a job that ties the Nurse & Doctor up. Medical records should be on disk/cd.
Some words on ~ TEATMENT:
Quality of Care:
1) ER, Recovery, Social Services for each pt. Your doing an excellent job,thanx.
OVERVIEW OF SCHEME, METHODS ETC:
I.E. If the homeless/mentally ill were shifted to whatever level they wish to be at; to make all the resources that are available to them to launch them to things like: work-immediately, housing, home ownership? or self-employment?
Fulfill the idea that we are to house, counsel, medicate, apply medical coverage, get work for them - that they wish to do, and help them to see that their is someone who cares, someone who will see them through, someone who has come to "lift them up..."
America has collectively provided a doorway to a new future and every service is available to such persons, providing they use them properly and in a timely manner....fulfillment of The American Life Style.
I.E. If the poverty level were "Lifted UP" with:
a) a pmt of all debts, or counseling to recover integrity of credit.
b) a downpmt of a home
c) a free vehicle
d) *daycare
e) a home
f) job counseling and placement
g) consideration of self-employment, "become an Avon Lady?"
Etc Etc....
There would be a chance to create an environment for those who are competent, teachable and flexible to excel in their lives; it is the beginning of "The Poverty to Prosperity Program”, see attached VISIT MY BLOGS."
Let's start with the most needy, each and every citizen will get the same opportunities. These facilities are available, but the access, process and dissemination of the process are largely unknown, unavailable or road blocked by the centrifugal force and gravity of their situation.
ACTION PLAN:
A) Provide the counseling, education and dissemination of information at an "interpersonal meeting."
B) Use the 1800 fed info phone number to distribute the tremendous multitudinous myriad of information the US Government has to distribute known, available and assist people with the use of that valuable information.
C) Make the 1800fed info number, USA GOV/FIRST GOV.GOV sites known.
D) Foster the relationship between Government and it's citizens; encourage people to write, call or visit their elected officials' offices to give feedback.
E) Begin the process of paperwork, choices and information-resources
THIS DOES NOTCOSTMORE.
This is why.....
No one, entering, growing up or assimilating to the United States will stay at the poverty level, unless they are uninterested in these items of opportunity. This is the improvement of The American Lifestyle, The Dream and The Way a Democracy is intended, designed and potentially operating at it's highest level of delivery
of services to it's citizens.
Should this be, or not be?
Problems:
What is not being used, should be transferred into being an investment in our human resources; the individuals can sign a "lack of performance agreement," perhaps - if they act irresponsibly and fall back to where they were?
Security enhancements:
HOMELAND SECURITY
Can we get parents to consider dna and fingerprinting of their newborns;
Purpose:
identification at anytime in lifetime
dna in particular will make your child's safety
would improve.
Those who come here seeking asylum should be screened more carefully.
Those who enter illegally should be processed as asylum immigrants.'
Those who wish temporary status should still be screened....why do you
wish to come here, is it to work on holiday, to study, to visit (to visit whom?)
Who will be your sponsor, medically, financially and constitutionally while you
are here? Do you wish to become a citizen here? Do you agree to come here at your own risk?
Immigration:
Begin : There are civic groups for almost every ethnicity, that being said, why do we not put the immigrant in contact with those groups or others, ours, if they wish. Suggestions to the immigrant, like "stay at the Y for a while..." are good.
Deportation:
'As regulated; I am not familiar with issues.
Use the military for border patrol or......Why do we not use our convicts to do release advanced community service? 'What? Border patrol personnel, bounty hunters policing the subways and streets? This may have problems with those who are not rehabilitated....use pscyh evals, regimens already established and reward systems. It is not so much that they work for free, defending their country from potentially dangerous persons, it is rather that they may be best qualified, other than the military who are primarily a better source; however the military is overextended right now, are they not?
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL:
STOP THE NONSENSE, Please!
There is no way two planes should come within 500 feet of one another, as they did over NYC recently....this is ludicrous....shameful, ridiculous. The stock market equipment never fails!
Solutions:
No double shifts for ATC Operators. Create a better environment for the ATC Operators; make them have more "creature comforts" (This is a very high-stress job)
Community Inclusion:
Encourage children, young adults and adults to get involved in school organization, government &C. (This will foster a communication or dialogue between government and individuals; possibly have the elected officials visit schools or civic centers periodically for this purpose; 'just to say "Hello," and introduce
the city council, Us Government or regulating bodies of our society, like clubs &C).
School breakfast and lunch with federal matching dollars? Free meals for the poor, free fruits and vegetable snacks for those who are NOT "poor."
City wide health clinics:
Services needed, Use the confiscated funds from criminal activities to fund resource programs: Create a "Medicare subsidy" with this money,
Health and health insurance, Life insurance subsidies; so that social security does not have to pay, Food Stamps, Public Assistance and Social Security, SSI, payments.
Adoption should be approached with leniency, trepidation and concern: this is not the sale of human beings.
Health screening should be performed before the adoption is finalized; no surprises. Lending for sick children overseas should be made over long term repayment for poor countries.
Day care, foster-care, Orphanages should not function like warehouses, but
there is a difference in the attitudes of children who get this kind of care instead of other care, in my experience knowing such persons.
FOSTER CARE CLUSTERING:
ADAPTATION OF LIBRARY "CLUSTERING....." APPLYING IT TO ELEVIATING THE BURDEN
ON SINGLE MOMS.
