Bumper stickers, gay employment discrimination, HIV/AIDS tshirts

This is the place to find positive messages on bumper stickers (free with a quick download), and a short-cut to the expanding inventory of Positive Outlook t-shirts, sweatshirts and other stuff.

Like we've said elsewhere, this is not an ordinary law firm. We value the trust of our clients and colleagues and the judges before whom we appear, and we work without compromise to earn it. But we prefer not to take ourselves as seriously as we do the needs and concerns of our clients. Work can be fun, life can be better, manners can be good, and everything else is fair game.

When HIV Comments hurt	HIV and AIDS make people nervous. And people who are nervous often react quickly, and without thinking..... Here are some common sense ideas on how to react when someone you care about tells you that they are living with HIV.
The Closet Door is Glass	How secure is your personal closet door? Even if you think you aren't "in a closet," things can happen at work that might make you wonder. Here are some thoughts on handling problems when your private life becomes an issue at work.
Bumper stickers	Bumper stickers with attitude have been an irreverent part of our strategies to end HIV stigma by putting HIV/AIDS in front of people who wouldn't otherwise think about it. Nothing like plastering an opinion on the back of your car to get an idea in front of people!
News	News releases from Michigan Advocates Exchange and Kendra S. Kleber & Associates PLLC give a sense of how we got here, literally. Bulletins about changes in Social Security disability law and the rules pertaining to people who are disabled by HIV/AIDS are posted here, as well.
MAX Store	Among the goofiest ideas that Kendra has come up with was the notion that somebody other than her parents and her nephews would wear a sweatshirt with the MAX logo on it. Still, it is quite possibly the best logo ever created (thanks, T!) and as a living monument to the people who created MAX, who worked and volunteered and rooted for MAX, and the clients served by MAX - especially those who have passed - Kendra won't let this logo go. Click here to go to the MAX store where you can choose from t-shirts, sweatshirts, mouse pads, calendars - all sorts of stuff - with the MAX logo or a picture called "End AIDS Now" by renowned artist Charles Alexander, donated in perpetuity to MAX. (Proceeds from these sales will be used to pay MAX's final bills, and when that's done, will be donated to organizations of uppity, impatient activists who are politely raising cane in the finest MAX tradition.)
Positive Outlook Store	Everybody needs a Positive Outlook! Click on the logo to shop a selection of unique, literate, intelligent wearable designs that you won't see on everybody else on the street, and get your own Positive Outlook! These designs are positive and affirming messages for and about the gay, HIV-positive and constitutionally-concerned communities. This is Kendra at her most uppity.
Blank Authorization	This is a blank authorization for Kleber & Associates clients to download and print, if needed. Nothing spectacularly interesting for anybody else, though. This is an Adobe-readable PDF file, one page of instructions and two pages of real document.

*Links*	No, these links aren't legal advice. These are websites that are interesting, entertaining and useful. We're not saying they'll help your case, or even help your afternoon. We think they're useful, but you might not.

	http://www.kickingtheanthill.com/ "Kicking the Anthill" is a San Antonio, Texas-based radio talk show hosted by Kendra's kid brother, Drexel. He says, "Kicking the Anthill speaks to the issues and topics that are on the minds of American parents today - from politics to pop culture; from personalities to possibilities. KTA is about asking yourself what you believe and why you believe it and learning to defend those very beliefs. 'Kicking the Anthill' means doing the right thing even when it is hard."
