July 29th - Final Planning, Your FEEDBACK & maybe TV coverage.
From: Webmaster (webmaster@kids-right.org)
This is a message from a mailing list, members@kids-right.org Unsubscribe instructions at bottom of message. ====================================================================== Good People & People of Faith, This message contains information on: 1. July 29th - Final Planning & Maybe TV Coverage. 2. July 29th - New York City & Manhattan 3. Your FEEDBACK - Your "Sun" & getting Senator Clinton's attention. 1. July 29th - Final Planning & Maybe TV Coverage ------------------------------------------------- We are in final preparation for the start of this effort. The site has been revised, it includes a detailed schedule and also news release information. You can even VOTE on what you think the results will be. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ There was also some confusion about the "duration" of this effort. This will be an on-going effort on the part of those willing to keep participating. Some have made a commitment, even if temporarily arrested, to continue to return to the building until a meeting can be arranged between parents and the Senator. Personal Sacrifice. Your assistance by making a trip to Syracuse in person, or just making a phone call to Clinton's office staff (numbers at the web site) -- is very valuable in demonstrating public attention to what is happening and the sacrifices being made. It is also VERY important to those participating and gives them the "warm fuzzy" that other folks care and are helping. A news release was sent out this morning and we did have contact from Channel 3 (a local NBC affiliate), they said they would try to have someone there on Monday. That is certainly no guarantee, but it is encouraging news. If you wish to participate, please just fill out the registration form at the site. 2. July 29th - New York City & Manhattan ---------------------------------------- Chris (cdh1500@yahoo.com) from Manhattan is interested in getting a group of parents together to visit the local office of Senator Clinton on the 29th. This is LATE notice, but please contact him as soon as possible at the email address above. 3. Your FEEDBACK - Your "Sun" & getting Senator Clinton's attention. ------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a LOT of good feedback to a recent message concerning efforts to arrange a meeting with Senator Clinton, original message at: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/archive/archive2002/0033.html ------ CHANCESBUDDY@aol.com > > We would be glad to do what needs to be done to get Our Sun back in our > lives.

Well, I would be very impressed if she could begin to see "the other side" of the coin and recognize the issue of "rights." But I think we need to demonstrate the political pressure and make it in her best interest. She is such a "brand name" for children's issues, just getting her to well define her stand (which has been difficult) -- on what is the threshold before the "state" can interfere in your family life and control your access to your own children? If that will start a national debate, it will be a big step forward. ---- Chris (cdh1500@yahoo.com) > I wrote Sen.

In may many arrests I have gotten to see a LOT of the criminal justice system -- and it actually seems to work. I never felt worried when "bogus" charges were made by arresting officers because I knew they would never be able to convince a jury (and the DA knew that to). In Family Court, I just felt helpless. The quality control of a "jury" (people outside the system), is a valuable item. > new market, Domestic Violence.

I think everyone knows the system doesn't work, but the "monster" is so big, folks don't know what to do. Hopefully, some public action & sacrifice will help get things rolling. ---- Del Parker (irishcoins2000@hotmail.com) > You are right John. It is going to take sacrifice.

They don't care about me seeing my son at all since they moved him to the other side of the country -- just send the money (even if you are not making it!). > This has continued for 20 something years, and the time has come to > change it.

The kids are the ones that get hurt by all this. What an awful thing to happen to you... > So, it will take some sacrifice.

Especially when I get encouragement from the very deputies who have arrested me. Getting rid of the hate/revenge makes me more confident in what I am doing. ---- Deborah Planet (DLP4010@aol.com) > GOOD LUCK.

Very interesting article and sounds very true. Especially without any change of an independent jury -- the only thing a lawyer can do is stay friends with the Judge. ---- Bob Hackely (Bhackely@aol.com) > I am happy for you!

I count my "lucky stars" every day. I don't know how people deal with it when their own kids hate them -- what a nightmare. But as much as I am in this because of the way my family was treated -- knowing about the others makes it a bit easier. ---- GCourt3@aol.com > Why weren't you a participant at the FRA NYS LEAD this or previous > years...in our group efforts at reform? Not sure if we have met in the past, several years ago I was pretty active with the local Chapter in Syracuse, went to about 3 lobby days in Albany. The group seemed fine as a support group and for educating people, but it really didn't seem like a "protest" group at all. I seem to remember some of the leadership be very hesitant to have any type of "marches." More recently I talked to one of the local leaders and I wasn't even sure what the group's goals were regarding equal/shared physical custody? In some messages I had encouraged some of he FRANYS folks (I think I am still on part of one mailing list), to shift some focus to National leaders like Clinton and Schumer. I can understand the desire to focus at the state level, and that is useful -- but that is basically why you see an independent effort with a focus more on Civil Rights. > [RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE - Ed.] > Going it alone and nitpicking a large organization is counter productive to > the change process which must be mutually supportive this is what large > social transformations throughout history have been about, regards G3 > Sorry for the confusion. Not really nitpicking FRANYS, they are a good group -- but our goals are pretty different: State vs Federal Reform Support group vs "protest" group > [RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE - Ed.] > And you see no gain from crossing the false boundary and realizing > that reform is reform and that helping vs. protesting are not > mutually exclusive, how about all of the groups who are on the same > page allying with one another to send forth a message..and numbers > do count as they send a clear message..Regards G3 ================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list at anytime, send email to Majordomo@kids-right.org with the following 1 line in the BODY of the message (Subject is ignored). unsubscribe members
