Together, we can put a stop to the #Rword. Join me by taking the pledge of respect today at http://www.r-word.org/ because the only "R" word that should be applied to our kids is #Respect. #spreadthewordtoendtheword #SpecialOlympics

Hey Gondi I want you to know your posts have made more sensitive to my language. I've always been uncomfortable when the word was used as a pejorative. These days I absolutely cringe when Howard Stern uses the word and denigrates the folks in his "wack pack". In fact I've almost stopped listening to him completely.
Thank you for shedding light on the issue.

Thank you, Billy. 
I am with you, gondicar.
I am with you, gondicar.
Thank you!
I am so thankful for all the support here and elsewhere to raise awareness about the hurtfulness of the R-word.
Here's a pic of my son getting ready for his weekly therapeutic horseback riding lesson today. Yes, it's personal...not just for me, but for millions of Americans and their families and friends. Thanks again.
