…indicate precisely what you mean to say/yours sincerely wasting away/Give me your answer/fill in a form/mine forever more/Will you still need me/Will you still feed me/When I'm sixty-four." — The Beatles

An important message from Supa Producer Mo'tel Williams: My grandma rolled up the hill to my house in her hover-around-motorized-scootin'-scooter the other day. She pleaded that I do something about state Medicaid cuts. I said, "Grandma, I can't stop those foolish politicians from cuttin' Medicaid!" Suddenly she whipped out her favorite walking cane strapped on the side of her motorized scooter, popped me upside my gherri curl hair-did and yelled, "Get up off yo' retro-polyester-bell-bottomed-suit-platform-shoe-wearing butt and help get back my Medicaid!"

With all that said, Mo'tel Williams Productions and the Sausage Sandwich Sisters have planned an Electric Slide for Medicaid protest/voter registration rally and fund-raiser at the state Capitol sometime this summer or early fall, if it's not too late.

Senior citizens, are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Well join me, the Sausage Sandwich Sisters and other disabled and poor senior citizens—whose lives are affected by those who don't care when you're 64—as we unify and electric slide for Medicaid. Bring your walkers, canes, bedpans, wheelchairs, motorized scooters, medical bills, medical supplies and prescription statements. Make the politicians hear your concerns!
