You have better believe that they are very brave, loving, understanding, and a lot of other ideas that I can not pass along. I know this because MY son has Down Syndrome and runs the 50 Meter, 100 meter, long jump & the softball throw every year. He is 11 years old, and competes against kids that are older than he is, and he usually wins too, but EVERYBODY is a winner there.

God Bless you and your family. Tomorrow I am calling the white house to voice my utmost disgust. This man is a piece of dung.

No offense to dung.

We did the Polar Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics here in Green Bay. We had the largest group to jump in the water, but the group that raised the most money was a group of parents. They had over $50 grand raised.

That's right, they didn't use taxpayer dollars. They gave and asked their friends to help them help their kids.

I wish your son good luck this year in the games. I know you are proud of him.
