Compliments of Rain...posted on Tramp's

Some have an attitude of "Forget the world" just give me what is mine. They won't realize how much was fought for and accomplished to make the system safer. It's akin to the everyday battle of our soldiers, police officers, firefighters, etc. We can go about our daily life, because someone has chosen to make protecting 'us' their life's work.
I have read a few people post that they don't see our system any safer. The Stock Market, the banks, our Govt., and true you won't see a lot of it until after the change-over. But there has been more happen in the last three months... that I was told for years would happen at the end of this, than at any other time since Al first filed. I know that because Al can't post all that he is doing on the boards, people don't realize what he has done to make this reset happen. He put his practice, and his personal life on hold (especially since Dec 31, 2010) to wake up everyday and stamp out this little fire, and that little one; by doing legal work for the smaller programs in the WGS to keep the movement going. The "leave no program behind" criteria of all of this WGS was a roadblock to us getting our money in our hand, and not one that Al chose for us. He has said in a previous post that he didn't agree to or agree with us being part of the WGS, but he didn't back down from the challenge.
In my opinion, and from all that I've gathered. We Won! Unfortunately the rest of the programs that had to be finished before we could be paid have taken longer (a lot longer) than they hoped. We have all been mentally hanging out at the finish line waiting for the rest to catch up and finish the race, so that we can receive our prize!
For me personally....I will always be grateful to men like Robert Mahue, Al Hodges, and a list of others that I can't name at this time; who fought this battle. I sit here and wonder, "What can I do to make a difference?" Well, they have and still are making a major difference in our world! I vow to make them proud of me, and once I am paid I will continue to "Pay it forward" for the rest of my life!
I completely understand the frustrations, and doubt that people feel. Believe me I need it to happen NOW! I am fighting life-threatening illnesses, and have lost everything. I wake up everyday praying that today will be the day! It is a b**** of a wait, but there is nothing that I can do to speed it up. I've walked away from the boards a few times just to focus on my health, and spiritual well being, but I knew that I didn't have to be on the boards for them to find me.
I have learned throughout this journey how to more successfully discern someone who is trying to rock the emotional boat, from someone who is truly just scared, and frustrated wondering if it will happen soon enough for their own personal plight. I see it in so many people's writings that they are just plain scared to believe that this will happen to their life. They had the dream, they invested, they have invested years of waiting, but deep down they are still scared to believe that something this amazing will happen to their life. Unfortunately, some strike out in anger, and then others who believe with their whole heart and soul... strike back in anger, and nothing has been accomplished, but a lot of hateful, and hurtful words.
The boards, and fellow shareholders are all that many of us have to express our anger, frustrations, hopes, dreams, faith, and at times lack of faith in being paid. Our families for the most part don't want to even hear the word CMKX brought up. Friends think you're are nuts, or they just feel sorry for you. When it first began, many of us openly told everyone about CMKX and our dreams. Well by now, we've all learned that when we are paid we can not go about telling strangers, or even for the most part...our family members. It has become a realization of security. I wouldn't have chosen this long of a wait, but I can tell you that my knowledge on wealth, and security has bode well from the experience.
It's a new day, and I hope and pray that TODAY is it, but if not...if we must wait longer, then I hope and pray that we can all be a little more tolerant, kind, and loving to each other.
Again, thank you Peter my wonderful loving friend.....for beginning a heartfelt thread of support for Al's decision to file with the SC. I trust Al. I believe in Al. He didn't put us in this WGS fight, but he dang sure is going to lead us out! In my honest opinion!
