I know there have been threads here on James and the moto fans/industry have rallied to help him since his life-altering injury, but it seems his current situation warrants a new post. Now is the time for us to act. If anything, share the Facebook post he has publicized about the extreme lack of care he’s facing daily as a quadriplegic in a nursing home. I’ve spent years wondering how I could help this guy, a kind-hearted dude with a big smile that was a force to be reckoned with on a dirtbike. A professional moto/supercross racer. I know many have wondered the same. Maybe if this news reaches the right person/people, James will find a real home (or at least see improvements where he’s at.)

I wish all the best to James and anyone else not getting the treatment and care they need. Couldn't even begin to imagine being in that situation.
The Shop
Unfortunately, healthcare (insurance mainly) in this country is a business first and service second. It ain't right man and this country could easily do something to fix it but everybody starts clutching their civil liberties to their chest any time something is brought up. Heaven forbid we help another human being at home instead of stirring the pot all over the world and wasting money on needless shit like commemorative coins.
We need to get back on track. Maybe you could look on James’s Facebook page and get specifics as well as ideas for help (https://m.facebook.com/jamesmarshallproject/). The link to donate is on outlaw452.com
Looks like James is in a terrible situation, saw one of his videos where he has spent two holiday seasons alone. I know nothing of the situation, and I don't know him, but I would hope that my family and friends would stick around for me if I ever get into that situation. I hope people as a community and family can come together to help him as they should, opposed to government intervention.
the government is the embodiment of greed and would only make things worse.

First. I think about James every so often and I hate hearing this. There was something about that race that stuck in my mind and whenever I hear about an injury, I wonder how he is doing. This just makes me sick.
This topic is a great example of how a tax collecting govt can use those resources to make life much better or ALL its citizens. Or we can just sluff it off as a tough break, life ain't fair.
Show me one successful government program other than the military...
I'm wondering why you'd believe that the military is truly "successful". With spending levels equal to the next 10-15 nations combined, all we hear is how outdated and underfunded it is. How can that be considered successful? Sounds like monumental mismanagement at best.
There are hundreds of thousands more. You have to first believe that govt exists for the benefit of its citizenry and give up the rhetoric that it really exists to tax and destroy.
Carry on...
