Congresswoman Johnson’s Statement on The El Paso Shooting

By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson

No matter how much some people argue that it is untrue, there is a strong nexus between repulsive language used in public by elected officials and their supporters and the carnage caused by hate-filled young men, armed with assault rifles, who brazenly entered a retail store in El Paso, Texas and an entertainment district in Dayton, Ohio and slaughtered twenty- nine innocent men, women and children. People that never harmed them in any way!

Moments prior to the El Paso shooting, a manifesto reportedly written by the shooter appeared online.

It contained hatred for people of Hispanic origin and immigrants, stating that they were a threat to the stability of America.

The Congress must also take It is without question that the up legislation that bands the public demands meaningful action possession and use of ‘weapons of that will take assault weapons war’ by members of the public. out of the hands of deranged individuals and groups.

We must implement sensible gun legislation such as the federal assault weapons ban that People of common sense desire to was signed into law by former live in a county where no one is president Bill Clinton in 1994, considered less human or more and which lasted until 2004 when valuable than any other. And the administration of President where human life is sacred!

George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress allowed it to lapse.

Subsequent attempts by Democrats in Congress and by President Barack Obama to reinstate the assault weapons ban were unsuccessful largely due to the overwhelming influence that the National Rifle Association had- and continues to have- over Republican members of Congress and Republican presidents.

This occurred even though polls of the American people demonstrated that the electorate overwhelmingly was, and continues to be, in favor of common-sense gun laws.

The family members and loved ones of those who were killed in El Paso, The shooters were able to kill as and in Dayton, many people as they did because as well as the they used semi-automatic weapons families of the which have no place in the hands hundreds of of civilians.

Thumb Sucking: Part 2 So you were not successful in stopping your child’s thumbsucking habit.

Or better yet, you were a Dr. Demetra thumb or finger Jones,DDS sucker and you never received treatment. What is next if the habit continues?

What is next if the damage is done? The result of continued thumb sucking, finger sucking or pacifier overuse can create an anterior open bite. The habit has pushed the lower incisors back and the upper incisors out. The symmetry of the arch has been affected. If the habit continued as the permanent teeth were coming in, malocclusion of the teeth occurred. Behavior modification is the key at this point. An intra-oral appliance is needed. It makes it difficult to place the thumb or other object in the mouth. The device helps but requires placement for 3 to 6 months. Orthodontics may still be needed. For older adults with an open bite, orthodontics in combination with surgery will be needed. Skeletal and dental changes have occurred. This may require actual resetting of the jaw areas with surgery (orthognathic surgery). Various treatments are age specific. See your dentist with your concerns for a consultation.

OLD SCHOOL LAWYER TALKS TRUTH

By Brian Eberstein

Car crash lawyer information surrounds us. We hear all the names of lawyers, including me, Brian Eberstein, the Old School Lawyer, all the time.

This may be on radio or television or on billboards throughout the Dallas Ft Worth area. But do people listening or watching or seeing all those outdoor signs ever get to know the lawyer they ultimately hire and, more importantly, does the lawyer ever get to really know the person he or she represents. I say that does not happen except in rare instances and then only when the lawyer believes it’s a “ big “ case with plenty of money involved. The tragedy of all of that is clear. As most car crash cases are not the “ big “ cases, clients never really know their lawyer and the lawyer certainly doesn’t know his client. In fact, as I’ve heard repeatedly from people who call me, many people injured in car crashes never even meet that lawyer whose face is on the billboard or whose voice is on the radio. The question then is obvious.

How does a lawyer do the best job possible for any client if he or she doesn’t know that person ? And I’m talking about genuinely knowing the person, that person’s family and all the other people who’ve been affected by the car crash. The answer ? The lawyer cannot adequately represent the client he or she doesn’t know. Sadly, I believe, this inadequate type of representation goes on in the legal community every day. Clients can talk with case managers or secretaries or intake personnel but never, or rarely, with

their lawyer. For me, that’s just wrong and no way to honestly help people who’ve been injured. When I made the decision to begin working again in the car crash world, I made a promise to myself. I promised myself I would meet with, talk with and answer phone calls from anyone who wanted to speak with me about their car crash case. So far ? I’m doing exactly that. Are people surprised when they call the 800 Old School number and get me ? Some are. I answer their questions, tell them exactly what I think and, in many of those calls, I tell them to immediately call the lawyer they hired and insist on talking only with that lawyer. Car crash cases are certainly not that easy.

There are many things to understand about how a crash occurred, what are the injuries and so on. To my way of thinking, if you, as a car crash lawyer, don’t also truly know the person you represent, what happened to that person and the family, how all those lives were changed because of the acts of a negligent driver, you’ll never be able to do the best job possible for the person you represent. If you’d like to talk with me about your car crash case, I’m available. Call me and you’ll get me. 800 Old School. 800 653 7246.

Be well.

Brian Eberstein The Old School Lawyer
