I only look like a sheep - but I ain't

I got the above from a friend and I'm trying to finagle myself an invite (ok, maybe it is a long shot).  I'm not always the most observant person, but I've been noticing lately companies like DaVita have been having a lot of awful things said about them (NBC, Atlantic, Propublica, etc...).  So I decided to collect a few of these awful things - plus some extras - and put them into flyers so DaVita would have them in one place and could better answer these fabrications one-by-one:

http://www.dialysisethics2.org/open_images/flyers/Legislative_flyer.pdf

(from the flyers it only looks like we are awful-lie-telling-jealous types who envy DaVita for their wonderful success - however, I'm undercover, shhhhh!!! Don't tell anybody!)

I then thought DaVita would probably want to know about anymore vicious rumors being spread about them, being the kind of company they are - like poor patient care.  So I thought if people had heard these nasty rumors they could post them, or if they thought it had happened to them they could post (must have been a hallucination).  If you are a little shy about posting, I can be reached at the DialysisEthics website:

http://www.dialysisethics2.org/index.php/Contact-Us/email-Chris-Schwab.html?catid=12

I will just print out the statements and destroy the rest.  I'm sure DaVita would want to know what is being said!  I'll take the statements to the DaVita party myself!  - or give them to my State Representative if I don't get an invite.  (My State rep helped get technician certification here in Colorado)

Well I'm sitting here waiting for my last second invite to the davita wingding and I know it is coming annny second now.  Why would I get an invitation?  Because I've got the plan to help davita with their recent public relations problems!

I thought about going uninvited since what I have is so important.  But then I thought there was a slight chance davita might not like my plan, this would hurt my feelings and I am a sensitive soul.  It might embarrass my State Rep if I was drug out of there kicking and screaming and thrown in the pokey.  Also my wife wouldn't bail me out, and for all I know security has a shoot-to-kill policy.

Speaking of my State Rep, I understand even he is not going now!  Heck, they had me chomping at the bit when I saw the free drinks!  However, I understand he and davita will be meeting in more of a private setting here soon.

Nope, didn't go.  You would think DaVita didn't want some constructive criticism.  But don't worry, I'm sure we will get through to them.
