"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter" Martin Luther King, Jr.

Donna Puleio MD

Personal tragedy and grevious loss cause radical change in an individual's world view and a reevaluation of "things that matter". My brother, Gary Puleio, was killed on August 15, 2001 as a result of unsafe working conditions, inadequate regulatory oversite and the pursuit of corporate greed over workers' needs.

What matters to me now is the creation of a just society that values workers and puts peoples' needs and well being before profits.

Mine Workers President Cecil Roberts says U.S. Marshals should handcuff Massey Energy Co. CEO Donald Blankenship and "take him to jail," for the continuing inaction on the serious safety violations at the Upper Big Branch Mine where 29 coal miners died April 5.
