I can't imagine what I would have done if this happened to my kid - I don't like to think about it.  As a fellow father I did think of something though I could do, and I've done it.  Maybe we could we could actually get a one percenter to help?

I've emailed Jim Cramer, the stock guru.  Jim Cramer has a power we don't, to make wells fargo look really bad.  As a fellow father maybe he could be convinced to use his power?  My wish?  To see some people fired - and maybe in jail, all we can do is ask.

The email address is:
MadMoney@cnbc.com

Copy your first email, because you will get a reply back with a bunch of legal jargon, you then reply and paste your 1st email and send.

He may not notice one email, 2 might, 3 maybe, etc...

This fellow on the "Young Turks" seems to believe it.  I'm sure Mr. Cramer would enjoy an international perspective.

Hey Darth,

It has been a long time!  I wouldn't hang around the likes of me, but then I have no choice.

I'm sure the above gentleman would love to hear from the Dublin Caregiver of the year and send Dougal over here, we may have some wells fargo people for him to feast upon.

Guess this one hit home for me since I had a similar incident back in 2004 - without the tragic results.  I got let go and those administering COBRA just happened to drop my daughter from my policy - who really needed the coverage.  She found out about it when she went to get pills for her transplant.  I went as far as contacting the Colorado Dept. of Insurance to get her back on.  They said it was a clerical error - a clerical error that also happened to a co-worker of mine who also got let go and also had a dependent with problems.  Don't think I have trust issues with private insurance?

Plugger, I'm SO glad your daughter's covered again!...

Isn't it a strange coincidience that every time there's a 'Clerical Error', it's always in the company's favout.... Can't think why!...

Love to you and yours....
