"I did not "refuse". I told you how to find them. I just did not do it for you. "

What, this is not a refusal?

JT,

YOU made some highly inflammatory statements directly to me and have proceeded to continue. YOU have continued to twist the truth in order to defame my personal character. This is a sick game when you have to stoop so low as to make up bold face lies.

I am asking you to back up these specific statements and lies that you have made.

YOU still have not done it. Instead you take one sentence here and there and post it with out the proper relationship to what I was saying.

I can and I am sure everyone else can see just who and what they are dealing with. YOU are not credible in my eyes. I used to think you were but you have proved at least to me that you are someone that can not to be trusted. If you can not trust someone to tell the truth, then they just can not be trusted at all especially when they go around fabricating bold face lies about someone else.

If you feel that this is one way that is a must in order to win support for the ANA or the union, then it is worse than I can even begin to comphrehend.

If it was not for people like Jenny and Karen and others I would see the ANA and the Union as filled with people like you. It is a scarry thought that one day with your envolvment that you might achieve a place higher up in these organizations. You actually bring a lot of disrespect to them in the way you personally act. YOU are not a good representation or voice for them. If this is the message they are trying to send out to unify nurses then they are destine to be a minority by causing people to run in the opposite direction. In other words, your way or no way and if you do not agree, then we will just run you over and make up stuff to discredit you.

Could this be a major reason people are not knocking on the doors in mass numbers to join? Could this be the reason the over whelming majority 92 to 93% of the nurses in the united states have refused to join and support the organization? Could it be that you and the way you deal with others who disagree is something that turns a vast amount of nurses off? You say the ANA has changed it's ways. So how come you seem in so many ways the exact things that nurses have come to know and expect. Although I hope that out right fabrication of lies is just representative of you. In the past, the ANA was known to just disregard what nurses had to say. It seems that this is the case here with you as well.
