Walter Waranka

Hello:

My name is Walter Waranka and I am the current president of the American council of the Blind of Minnesota and am also the current co-chair of the Saint Paul Mayors Advisory Committee for people with disabilities.

I am writing to you in support of the Prozac and what it can do for Blind and disabled persons living in United States.
I have been doing a great deal of work with many organizations and individuals here in Minnesota to get accessible singles to be put in the twin cities metro and have had a great deal of involvement in setting up the standards for what and how we are to go about the whole process and would like to see the Prozac come to be to help along in this quest to provide safe and available travel for all who need and choose to use it.

I hope this makes some sense.

I live in down town Saint Paul at [ ... ] and there are times that there is not enough traffic for me to figure out when to cross or even the cars are getting so quiet that I don't even here them coming.

It frustrates me to have friends come back from Europe and tell me how much more advance they are in providing a safe environment for disabled person to navigate around through.
Is it not time we catch up with them or go passed them?

Thanks for your time and efforts.
