*2/5/10*JAMIE SCOTT UPDATE! (Scott Sisters)

Listen To The W.E. A.L.L. B.E. Radio Special:
All Eyes Are Still On Mississippi: Free The Scott Sisters!!!


The Scott Sisters (l-r): Jamie & Gladys
Greetings all,


Jamie Scott got word out about 3:00 EST that she was
told that her dialysis for today was cancelled because the 
machine at the prison was broken!  As if that isn't bad
enough, she reports that her temporary catheter is full
of blood and pus and appears to be infected.  Of course 
she and her family are terrified of any complications happening 
to her as she is still suffering with extreme weakness and 
other ill effects from her serious medical condition.  


Atty. Chokwe Lumumba visited Gladys and Jamie yesterday to 
collect data on Jamie's physical treatment at the prison.  He is 
presently exploring options on how to legally proceed with getting 
Jamie the medical care that she desperately needs.
~~~~~


Jamie also recently wrote a letter to her supporters, excerpts
of which follow:


"First let me thank you for the prayers, strength and 
consideration you have displayed for me and my sister. 
This ordeal with my kidneys has truly broke me down. 
I am tired, but I know I cannot give up, because of my
family and many supporters.


It was first determined that I had protein in my urine in
1997. Throughout the years it went uncured and untreated 
and I wasn't hurting so I thought nothing of it. They would
take tests and never receive results. I had a kidney biopsy
done around 1997, but once again never received any results.
My uterus fell and was removed in 2005. Once again, I never 
received results of tests on my kidneys.


Now what we must not do is lose our temper and make things
worse. Please, you cannot call up here and use abusive
language. That will not solve anything. About my dialysis
treatments, I go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The set up
is inside a trailer. 


It is hard and I want my life. The only thing as a whole we can do is 
try to get the Governor to do something right and release me and 
Gladys. 


I want to thank each one of you for everything you have
done.


-- Jamie."

Mrs. Rasco did a wonderful Interview with Bro. JR of Block
Report Radio/POCC on 1/22 when Jamie was first taken to the 
hospital, his interview is about 3/4 of the way thru the program  
at http://aud1.kpfa.org/data/20100128-Thu1700.mp3. This was
before we knew that Jamie had already been returned back to 
the prison that same day.

Mrs. Rasco is scheduled to be a guest on the Empowerment Hour
Radio Show tomorrow 2/6 at 6pm EST, which is  accessible at
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/eadyassociates and anyone can call 
(646) 716-7472 to join in the conversation or just listen.




In light of this most recent emergency, we need to start ASAP on
trying to get someone to assess and treat Jamie Scott. We need
to contact the prison, governor's office and as much mainstream 
media as we can! We have to put pressure on Mississippi
to get Jamie the medical attention she needs and to get she and 
Gladys released from their unjust imprisonment!  Thank you very
much!
