Folks,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I had two very pleasant
surprises yesterday. I went back to our local Federal Building
with the anticipation of probably not seeing anyone and of
spending another night in Jail -- I was wrong on both counts!!
I was greeted by three other parents from the local area (two business
people and an attorney), who are aware of the cause and wanted
to demonstrate support by witnessing my arrest. To our surprise I was
allowed to enter the building, proceed to the 8th Floor, and walk for
two hours without any incident. A member of building security told me I
would be left alone as long as I didn't try to do anything in the first
floor lobby area (he smiled when he saw me). I will be returning
again today and next week -- check the site for details:

I certainly thank them and also to all of you who wrote to our local
Congressman, James Walsh -- it appears he did intervene. This
did not come easy, but peaceful, pleasant, and persistent effort
paid off. Can really use your help. If only a few more folks can be
willing to sacrifice and get involved we can get Federal Congressional
hearings into National Family Law Reform -- this is an election year!
In closing, a brief quote from Henry David Thoreau which is applicable
to what happened there over the last few months:
"... the State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, intellectual or
moral, but only his body. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but
with superior physical strength."

Many thanks.
