Contacting the public - priss13 - 05-01-2011 03:22 AM
I live in Oklahoma
I have decided to take the HUGE step in alerting my local media as to what is going on in life consuming area of workers comp. I have contacted my local news station as well as my local paper and my state's congresman, I think its time to bring the shaddy, closed door dealings of the comp system out into the light, I'm at the end of a very long rope and am tired of being treated like a criminal for demanding my rights under the law.

Hope it helps. Seems like the only news you see about WC is when they find somebody trying to screw the system and not injured. With that being the only news you ever see what are most people suppose to think if they don't know somebody going through what some of us do?
