Pettition-With-Signa Dear Commissioner Saul: We are members of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR), and their colleagues. NOSSCR is a nationwide non-profit organization whose mission is to advocate for improvements in Social Security disability programs and to ensure that individuals with disabilities applying for Social Security Disability and SSI benefits have access to highly qualified representation and receive fair decisions. Collectively, we represent tens of thousands of individuals applying for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income benefits each year. We do this work because we care about our clients, but we cannot continue this work if we cannot stay in business. Most of us use the statutorily approved fee agreement to be paid; this is a simple process that limits our fee to the lesser of a set cap or 25% of past due benefits. Since 2009, this cap has been set at $6000 and has not been adjusted, while inflation has increased by 20% driving up business costs including salaries, rents, utilities, and other items. In addition to this the user fees that claimants’ representatives must pay to SSA to have their fees withheld continue to rise each year. As a result, we have seen many of our colleagues leave this area of law, others have laid off staff, or stopped providing additional services, all of which affects our ability to provide the best representation for our clients. We ask therefore, that you take the following actions: • Use the authority granted to the Commissioner of Social Security by the 1990 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act to adjust the fee cap to reflect an increase in the primary insurance amounts since the last time that the fee cap was adjusted in 2009; and • promulgate a regulation to automatically adjust the fee cap each year to reflect increases in the primary insurance amounts. In addition to the 2,500 plus individuals who have signed this petition I am including a letter of support from NOSSCR’s allied organizations in the disability community who also support these changes. These organizations know that the entire system is at risk if Social Security claimants’ representatives are unable to stay in business. Sincerely, Teresa Abbott Jenna Abel James Abernathy Brandi Able Frederic Abramson Ashley Acosta Aida Adams Gary Adams Jessica Adams Katherine Adams Rebecca Adams Nicholas Adkins Nick Adkins Athlea Adkisson Allison Affleck Thomas Affleck Sima Aghai Diana Aguilar Ross Ahern Edward Ahlers Mark Aiello Kara Aikens Gregg Albach Kate Albert Brett Albren William Aldred Anselmo Alegria Anna Alekseeva Nicole Alessi Jackie Alexander Jennifer Alexion William S Alge Jr. Diana Alignan Ellen Alires-Trujillo Brian Allen Bruce Allen James Allen William Allen Myron Allenstein Sarah Allison Beth Alpert Ginger Alvarado J Alvarez Erika Alverson Anthony Amos Benjamin Anderson Edwin Anderson James Anderson Kristina Anderson Timothy Anderson Brad Andringa Darrin Andrus Vincent Angermeier J Anklowitz Carolyn Anner Gayle Anthony Allison Antonowicz Joseph Antonowicz Peter Antonowicz Christina Apfel Theresa Appelbaum Padberg Eileen Archey Karen Arndt Grover Arnett Ann Arnold Blair Arnold Michael Arnold Derrick Arrowood Victor Arruda Bryce Ashby Mary Aspros Pamela Atkins Ann Atkinson James Auffant Carol Avard John Ayers Spelios Bacoyanis Paul Badame Nikolaus Baikow Erica Bailey Rangeley Bailey Rebecca Bailey Andrew Bainbridge Ashley Baine Graham Baird Donald Baker Gina Baker Jennifer Baker Kevin Balentine Paulette Balin Celia Ball Melissia Ball Samantha Ball Stuart Ball Maren Bam Joel Ban John Banks Lawrel Banks Adam Banton Stuart Barasch Qadry Barbarin Julie Barbero Donald Bardes Jason Baril David Barish Colby Barkes Jay Barnes Jennifer Barnes Randall Barnes Adam Barnett Adam Barnett G.C.

  • Fellowship Primer
    The Fellowship Primer Excerpts from the Paul Solomon Source Work-Readings for the Fellowship of the Inner Light Compiled and Edited by Grace de Rond Editor’s Note The purpose of The Fellowship Primer is to share the message of the Paul Solomon Source and to help individuals better understand the story, the nature and the purposes of the Fellowship of the Inner Light. I first heard of Paul Solomon in 1974 through the initial book on Paul’s work as a spiritual teacher and a psychic channel: Excerpts from the Paul Solomon Tapes compiled by Daniel Emmanuel and Tom Johnson. Within a year of reading the book, I made my way to Virginia Beach, VA and showed up at the door of Paul’s organization to volunteer. This was 1975, and I was assigned the task of indexing Paul’s trance readings low-tech style, using a cassette tape player, enormous old-fashioned headphones on a spiral cord, and a notepad and pencil. From the first audible word, I fell in love. More than three decades later, much of who I am is a result of my study of Paul’s work and my experience of him as a personal teacher. In 1977, I received a personal reading from Paul that described my role with his work. “Let your direction be in cataloging, indexing and making of value the information that is set before you. Through the categorizing, become an authority on what is given and said. Spare no moment in sharing it. Be of assistance in every way, in allowing the facts, ideas and concepts that are here to become more and better known.

  • Brilliant Ideas to Get Your Students Thinking Creatively About Polar
    FOCUS ON SHACKLETON Brilliant ideas to get your students thinking creatively about polar exploration, with links across a wide range of subjects including maths, art, geography, science and literacy. WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? WHO? AURORA AUSTRALIS This book was made in the Antarctic by Shackleton’s men during the winter of 1908. It contains poems, accounts, stories, pictures and entertainment all written by the men during the 1907-09 Nimrod expedition. The copy in our archive has a cover made from pieces of packing crates. The book is stitched with green silk cord thread and held together with a spine made from seal skin. The title and the penguin stamp were glued on afterwards. DID YOU KNOW? To entertain the men during the long, cold winter months of the Nimrod Expedition, Shackleton packed a printing press. Before the expedition set off Ernest Joyce and Frank Wild received training in typesetting and printing. In the hut at Cape Royds the men wrote and practised their printing techniques. All through the winter different men wrote pieces for the book. The expedition artist, George Marston, produced the illustrations. Bernard Day constructed the book using packing crates that had stored butter. This was the first book to be published in the Antarctic.

  • Public Information Leaflet HISTORY.Indd
    British Antarctic Survey History The United Kingdom has a long and distinguished record of scientific exploration in Antarctica. Before the creation of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), there were many surveying and scientific expeditions that laid the foundations for modern polar science. These ranged from Captain Cook’s naval voyages of the 18th century, to the famous expeditions led by Scott and Shackleton, to a secret wartime operation to secure British interests in Antarctica. Today, BAS is a world leader in polar science, maintaining the UK’s long history of Antarctic discovery and scientific endeavour. The early years Britain’s interests in Antarctica started with the first circumnavigation of the Antarctic continent by Captain James Cook during his voyage of 1772-75. Cook sailed his two ships, HMS Resolution and HMS Adventure, into the pack ice reaching as far as 71°10' south and crossing the Antarctic Circle for the first time. He discovered South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands although he did not set eyes on the Antarctic continent itself. His reports of fur seals led many sealers from Britain and the United States to head to the Antarctic to begin a long and unsustainable exploitation of the Southern Ocean. Image: Unloading cargo for the construction of ‘Base A’ on Goudier Island, Antarctic Peninsula (1944). During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, interest in Antarctica was largely focused on the exploitation of its surrounding waters by sealers and whalers. The discovery of the South Shetland Islands is attributed to Captain William Smith who was blown off course when sailing around Cape Horn in 1819.

  • Introduction to Inner Light Consciousness
    Introduction to Inner light Consciousness Inner Light Consciousness is a guided experience in spiritual evolution. Both the name of the course and its content are attempts to express the teachings of those men so accomplished in the mastery of themselves and the laws of the universe that they were able to accomplish things that other men called miracles. These men commonly referred to a light within and suggested often to their followers that every man has this light within and that if he becomes conscious of it and lets this light shine that he too can do the works of God that would reveal the presence of God in the universe, letting the man fade from sight. Inner Light Consciousness is based on the belief that becoming conscious of this Inner Light will cause it to grow and through the attention given this light as we become conscious of it, we make the light available to light our path and that of those around us for as long or as often as we are conscious of it. In recent years so much has been published in the field of parapsychology that hardly anyone doubts the existence of ESP or Higher Sense Perception, telepathy and thought transference. So many books have been published heralding and in some cases authenticating the work of various psychics, mediums, prophets and healers that most people at least recognize the possibility that such higher gifts exist to some degree of validity. Indeed we find that mankind throughout time and in all literature has been intrigued with the idea of the existence of ESP, telepathy and spiritual gifts.

  • 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Celebrating 40 Years of Leadership and Impact for Millions Affected by Mental Illness
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT Celebrating 40 years of leadership and impact for millions affected by mental illness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness was founded in 1979, when two mothers from Madison, Wisconsin, reached out to others who shared their outrage at the stigma, discrimination and inadequate care their loved ones faced. When these families joined forces, NAMI became a powerful voice for change. Today, NAMI is hundreds of thousands strong — a dynamic alliance seeking to transform the way mental illness is understood and treated. We are present in more than 600 communities, working for greater awareness, resources and empowerment on behalf of all people affected by mental illness. The hope we found in 1979 is the hope we continue to give. Our Vision NAMI envisions a world where all people affected by mental illness live healthy, fulfilling lives supported by a community that cares. Our Mission NAMI provides advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives. Our Values HOPE We believe in the possibility of recovery, wellness and the potential in all of us. INCLUSION We embrace diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. EMPOWERMENT We promote confidence, self-efficacy and service to our mission. COMPASSION We practice respect, kindness and empathy. FAIRNESS We fight for equity and justice. 2 A personal message from NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison, Jr. Research shows that one of every five people in our country is living with a mental health condition. But we know the deeper truth. Five out of every five of us are affected.
