Over the last several years I have been honored and privileged to serve as spokesperson for The Coalition for Alzheimer’s Families, a small group of ordinary people who have accomplished the extraordinary.
In the Gracedale debate, they have stood up like David to the giant Goliath, and just as David, they prevailed, but unlike David, they had to do it over and over again.
The members of the coalition did not wake up one morning with the intent of creating chaos or havoc. They simply decided to do what in their hearts was morally right regardless of the persecution they understood would come.
They have been called thugs and goons among many other despicable names, but they always held their head high because they recognized the needs of others beyond their own. I called them courageous, dedicated, determined, sincere and caring friends of the people in need, especially those who cannot speak for themselves.
The coalition has demonstrated morals and values, guts and gallantry beyond that of the average. Why? Because they understand the value of life, and they truly, truly care.
From the beginning, the coalition simply sought a reasonable resolution to the Gracedale issue, following the law every step of the way. Because they did, on Tuesday all electors of Northampton County will have the opportunity to do what is right — vote “yes” to save Gracedale and keep it in the hands in which it belongs.

There may be some people who should hang their heads in shame after Tuesday but the Coalition of Alzheimer's Families aren't among them. You personified class and guts. some personified hate and deception.
