Better training and supports are surely needed. As an older nsc disabled vet, I was hoping to get help to support state voc rehab efforts and stop the discriminations that were blocking; after much trying the note in my file, I only found out about after many more attempts at contact, was too little too late. { : > ( ]

to jacks liver -some of the advertisers- pulled off Beck show maybe not ALL FOX - could be the difference. more i have not listed- i have no even seen verizon on the pulled lists. best buy was. Allergan (maker of Restasis): “We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we’ve put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our “do not air” list. This means that you will no longer see any Restasis ads during programming featuring Glenn Beck. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.” Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services): “Ally advertises on a broad spectrum of programs to reach our potential customers. Our advertising is not an endorsement of editorial content on any program. We have ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck program.” Best Buy Broadview Security: “Given the considerations, we have requested of Fox News not to include us in the rotation that would have our commercials running on Glenn Beck’s show.” CVS: “While advertising on Fox is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck’s show specifically. We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck’s program is not part of our advertising plan.” Re-Bath: “…We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show…” Travelocity: “We did not specifically place our ad on the show. We buy ads in bulk and then they are placed somewhat randomly. However, we have now specifically asked that our ads do not appear during this show.” Wal-Mart: “Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,” Read more: http://foxnewsboycott.com/fox-news/walmart-cvs-be... Fox is proving uniquely sensitive to advertising boycott campaigns this summer. Three major advertisers — LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance – all abandoned Glenn Beck’s Fox News Channel show after he called President Obama a racist (video below). The move comes after Fox axed host Steven Cohen from Fox Soccer Channel because Cohen repeatedly — and incorrectly — blamed Liverpool F.C. supporters for the death of 96 fans in a stadium crush, at one point singing, “Murderers, murderers.” At least four advertisers, including Heineken, withdrew support from Cohen’s shows. ConAgra, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis, and RadioShack have all joined the advertisers who have pulled their ads from Glenn Beck’s show on Fox News Channel after the host called President Obama a racist. That brings to 12 the number of companies boycotting Beck. (The others are Geico, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento, LexisNexis, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and S.C. Johnson.)

THEY ARE ALL A FAILURE. not that a lot of tax and charitable money isn't flying around. while many are funded and govt and charitable the unable and unwilling are too often in charge. ther is no accountablity record keeping legal advocates willingand able to take the problems to trial. solve them pnce and for all POLITICS RULE. WE HAVE TO ASK.. When a system is broken, how can the cogs be good? In California the advocacy systems are now most STAFFED and designed to fail. only the well lobbied have access and help. WHILE THERE ARE MANY SOLUTIONS - THOSE WITH THEM NEVER GET HEARD. As Planned.
