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 info on: 1. A Nice Letter & Contribution - good example. 2. California - trying to visit your US Senators. 3. New York - efforts continue in Syracuse. 4. Messages - a worldwide collection. 1. A Nice Letter & Contribution -------------------------------- We hope you will all take the time to read the letter (below) from a Dr. Sinkhorn of California to Senator Clinton. It reminds all of us of the proper tone to use as we try to contact our Federal officials. In the past few weeks we have received a lot of email on Senator Clinton, her biases, her temper, her financial dealings, etc... But what does that really go to prove -- that she is not that different than most of us are. How many of us appreciate a conversation where the other persons starts by saying, "I know you'll never change, but let me bring this up anyway..." The purpose of NonViolent Action is to bring out the good in other people, not by insulting them -- but by showing them by your sacrifice that your concerns are real. That you are real, a person just like they are. We don't want to "embarrass" the doctor, but we also appreciate his $200 contribution to our NonViolent Action fund, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/donate.htm as a "model" of how our movement can grow. There will be those who can make a sacrifice of freedom for what we all believe in. There will also be those who can financially help those who may find themselves in jail. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/sinkhorn_let.jpg (letter image) ----------------------------------------- 7 Aug 2002 Dear Mrs. Clinton: I am a divorced father who experienced first-hand the cavalier treatment of fathers by the family court system. I fought for years to gain the simple pleasure of being with my children half time. I won't bore you with details, but suffice it to say that I am a respected physician in my community, responsible for delivering thousands of babies, even my own two. Yet the courts persisted in following an antiquated formula that presumes mothers are better parents. My point has now been shown, despite the court's misguided attempts, since my children now reside with me virtually full time. But I shouldn't have had to go through a ridiculous charade before a judge whose only prior experience was in traffic court. Children need fathers and mothers. I know that you believe and understand this; your speeches and writings prove it. I urge you to meet with Mr. John Murtari of AkidsRight at your earliest convenience and join with all of us parents who believe that children should never be separated from a responsible, caring father or mother. Thank you, Mrs. Clinton, for your fine work in our Congress. I hope you will continue to keep the Bush supporters honest. And thank you for your consideration of this most important subject. Our children are grateful, too. Warmest regards, C. Paul Sinkhorn, MD 2. California - trying to visit your US Senators. ------------------------------------------------ We have someone who is willing to help coordinate an effort to visit Federal Legislators in California, please contact Mike Mates: Joseph.M.Mates@bankofamerica.com With Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, we should certainly see a productive effort. For general info on contacting legislators and past activity see: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/legislative.htm 3. New York - efforts continue in Syracuse ------------------------------------------ John Murtari will be returning to the Federal Building in Syracuse today where an arrest is likely again for Trespass. Many people are surprised to discover John has NO criminal record, but in the past few years has been arrested and jailed over TWENTY times. In proceedings in both Syracuse City Court and US District Court, charges have always been dismissed. We certainly hope the trend will continue... Your participation and support is needed, welcome, and much appreciated! http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr 4. Your messages - coming across the world ------------------------------------------ We hope some of you may be able to contact these people and give them a share of your experience and help. --- Ned McCarthy - clohol@eircom.net (Ireland) I am forbidden under Irish law to speak openly about my experiences in the family law courts (men have been jailed for doing so). I believe that Irish family law is in violation of articles 1,2,7,9,10,11,(section 1) article 16(sections 1 and 3)and article19 of the United Nations Declaration of Human rights.I have evidence to back up my claims.Can anyone help me? --- Kathleen Ostic - peachesostic@netscape.net (United States) I am very interested in public, court, AND legislative action. I have had my parental rights terminated to my 5 children here in Michigan; even though, there were NO accusations of physical abuse, drug use, alcohol abuse, or anything of the sort. I completed all requirements I was given by F.I.A., and ordered to complete by the courts (no problem!! It was suppose to get my children back home - where they belonged - right? (or so I thought)). I currently am awaiting my appeal to be heard; however, in researching this topic, I have discovered 2 or 3 more arguments which I feel I rightfully should have added to my brief; however, my attorney has left the country at the beginning of Aug., & is not expected to return until Aug. 28. No one in her firm is covering my case while she is gone! I'm afraid of court deadlines. Anyway, I have been looking for a group like you!!! Thanks!!! Since this is very personal to me, I'm ready to help in any way I can, & am hoping to get whatever help & as much help as I can!!!! Thank-you again, & PLEASE do not hesitate to contact. --- D. Rofe' - rofe_d@netvision.net.il (Israel) About 6 years ago I contacted some organization like yours, asking for help in reunite with my children. I left USA after 21 years and moved to Israel when my ex wife brutally managed to get me out of my house. Furthermore during this time she did all that she could not to let me have any contact with my three children. I did not go back to USA. I am fearful for my life as I have no idea what she and her boy friend may have plan for me. I now have a criminal attorney taking care of money she stole from me and the children. I guess I will never get to see my children as long as my ex wife is around. My only hope is that one of these days she will be in prism on fraud and cheating the IRS. During the 6 years I am in Israel I contacted many organizations asking for help. Unfortunately all I learned is that the justice system favored woman on one hand but it makes it impossible when the woman happened to be habitual lie and know how to work the system in her favor. The reason I am writing to you is that I am now writing a book dedicating for my children and will use all the marketing tools to get my book in front of organization like yours and these that deals with fair justice. I am doing so hoping for some change in the way fathers like myself get treated. I would appreciate if you would be willing to get my story and possibly give me your endorsement which may help other fathers in a similar situation. I know of many cases similar to mine from the time I was on mailing list and read the awful stories about husband that end up committing suicide or get in trouble with the law for not able to cooperate with the emotion that involved. I am looking forward for your feed back and hope together to make a change. ================================================================== 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
