I got the initial package out that was sent to me when it was time to vote yes on this pathetic lawsuit.

In this package there is an outline on disease payments.

On one page it states very clearly:

Ands categorie for atypical neurological disease:

THE DETERMINATION OF DISABILITY UNDER THESE GUIDLINES WILL BE BASED ON THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INDIVIDUALS ABILITY TO PERFORM HER VOCATIONAL, AVOCATIONAL ' OR' USUAL SELF CARE ACTIVITIES.

No where above does it state "and" it very clearly states the word OR.

On another page this is what it reads:

Death or total disability resulting from the compensable condition. An individual will be considered totally disabled if she demonstrates a functional capacity adequate to consistently perform none or only few of the usual duties or activities of vocation 'OR" self care..

Again it states in our documents the word OR not and.

So I have a question that no one seems to want to answer and that is if DOW can illegally change the settlement agreement that we all signed yes and the Judge if she rules yes in there favor then where are our lawyers? what are our lawyers doing if this Judge agrees to make an illegal ruling? And there is no doubt about this it is illegal.

What has any of the lawyers done about why this judge would even need this amount of time to make a ruling it is not a difficult thing to see what Dow is up to and that is changing what was agreed upon in the settlement process.

What does anyone think if we were to go to the Judge and say please up the amount of damages for multiple sclerosis to $300,000 from the pitiful $50,000 do you think she would take months and months to think and ponder over that request from the women? NOT A CHANCE!

I will tell you if DOW gets away with this then in my eyes and hopefully any lawyer with half a brain will say halt this settlement it is illegal and we need to renegotiate all of it. We are being lied to and we have been duped into signing this.

How many women do you think have died waiting for this settlement facility, tort committee, and Dow to get it right?

Where is there any media paying attention to this injustice? It seems to me that unless your Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or Anna Nicole smith there is no media anymore willing to look at important stories and issues. Media now is only interested in the soap opera stories. They are disgraceful and should be ashamed of themselves even calling themselves journalists.

There is zero justification for turning down any claims yet over 90% have been denied.

If this Judge says Yes to Dow this will have astronomical financial ramifications for the women, yet no one seems to be doing anything.

It is morally wrong for the claims centre to be going along with this as it is equally morally wrong for the tort committee and Dow. Where is the independent law firms for the women acting on this I see no actions happening and this says a lot also.

So once again my question is what are the women lawyers prepared to do if the judge makes a wrong ruling????

This and or situation is and should of been a non issue, they are breaking the rules of the agreed upon settlement which any fool can see. So why has this carried on this long? Why has the tort committee allowed this to drag on? Why no emergency motions being filed to get this Judge to get of her butt and make a ruling???
