NonViolent Action, UK Prime Minister, & Your FEEDBACK
From: AKidsRight.Org Webmaster (webmaster@akidsright.org)
Good People & People of Faith, This message contains info on: 1. Continuing NonViolent Action(Syracuse,NY) - Aug 17, Jail or Action? 2. Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair -- looking for FEEDBACK! 3. Your FEEDBACK - a bit delayed, but always worthwhile! After a break for some summer vacation we are trying to catch up with your messages. We have a lot of FEEDBACK to share and we ask you to hold your comments until later in the week. There will be another message containing your thought on EQUAL parenting and Father's Day. 1. Continuing NonViolent Action(Syracuse,NY) - Aug 17, Jail or Action? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After a six week vacation with his son, Domenic, John Murtari will be continuing our efforts to get a meeting between Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and parent's hurt by our many family law systems... http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr A series of arrests occurred earlier on Feb 12th, and April 1st, 5th, and 7th (described above). John expects a decision from Federal Magistrate DiBianco in the next few weeks and the start of a jail sentence. It is difficult to predict schedule and John agreed to suspend his activity until mid-August for an opportunity to spend a summer vacation with his son. If there are delays in legal processing, John will return to continue our efforts on August 17th - your support and participation is welcome! 2. Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair -- looking for FEEDBACK on reform ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- <dave.mortimer@tiscali.co.uk> Tony Blair is asking members of the public to e-mail him with their views on child contact agreements for the UK and the European Union. http://www.pm.gov.uk/output/page5897.asp Follow link below for more info on activity in the UK http://www.mk-mens-aid.0catch.com 3. Your FEEDBACK - many folks need help, your email to them is welcome! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==== Published Letter to the Editor (June 2nd, Racine Journal Times,WI) --- Dr. Hatfield <hatfield@pol.net> Once again, our legislators have gone on summer break and have failed to address and important issues in Wisconsin today. The issue is shared parenting and the concomitant child support. There are many parents out there who would love to have the opportunity to parent their child(ren) without government interference. Unfortunately,government officals believe they know better what is in the "best interest of the children." I say that government officials know what's in the best interest of the government's pocketbooks. They have figured out a way to collect over $700,000 to date in federally matching funds, by removing my child from the only father she will ever have and allowing her to move to Illinois for no good reason whatsoever with her mother. Congratulations, Wisconsin and Racine County Family Court and specificall Judge Richard Kreul. You have made Racine County a rich county and have harmed my daughter as a direct result of your actions. Children deserve, want, and need BOTH parents, despite what family court says. My daughter has been harmed as direct result of government interference. Malcolm Hatfield, M.D. Franksville, WI [ You can read the Dr. Hatfield's full story on our Hall of Shame Page, http://www.kids-right.org/shame3.htm#hatfield See a picture of his family at: http://www.kids-right.org/actionc_syr/petitions.htm ] ==== Mother's Day message ==== See our message at http://www.AKidsRight.Org/archives/archives2004/0017.html --- mark bogan <bogan98@yahoo.com> > Ignorance is one tenth of the law. This mothers day message could > and should be the other nine tenth of the law. Thank you ever so > much for the validation. Mark Bogan Yellowknife, NT Canada --- "Robert Brothers" <rjbii@comcast.net> > I found your Mothers' Day message . . . and feedback . . . a > revelatory blessing of tender beauty (and I'm an alienated father). > Thanks for sharing it with me. Hang in there, Moms. It ain't your > fault . . . and remember that one day will very likely bring you a > miracle of reunion with the children you love. It will end. Hang > in. ==== Parents who could use a little Help! --- "Kim Benson" <iamhoneybunch@hotmail.com> > We are caught up in the 'system' in Rochester NY. We need help. Our > son was taken on false allegations. Until we get him home I don't > see what we can do to help anyone else. --- Georgia DiGiacomo <gdig60804@yahoo.com> > Do you know of any pubic forums on child custody or child support in > Illinois? I don't have any personal info -- but if you go to our Member Support page, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/member.php3 there are quite a few people signed up and you may be able to contact one of them. --- mydadinpa@excite.com > I haven't been able to see or even communicate with my three > children for over three years!! They live in NJ and I live in PA. > Is there any way that your organization can help me to at least talk > to my children? If you wish you are welcome to post your story at our Hall of Shame page, http:///www.AKidsRight.Org/shame.htm --- Carole Paczas <paczas@sbcglobal.net> > I live in the state of Michigan and saw your article regarding > Family Law and the problems that you faced. I tried to find the > entire article but could not. I am very interested in what had > happened to you. I have a ex-husband who had me put into county > jail because, he was supposed to take our son to a doctors > appointment and refused so I left - he did not see him and he filed > a contempt of court against me. > Just so you know there is a lot more to this case, like a referee who has serious issues with me, and family counselor who should not be in a position that she is in. Honestly this is just the tip of the iceberg. > I am just curious do you have any organizations like the one you have in New York in Michigan - specifically the Metro Detroit area. ==== NonViolent Action & Faith ==== http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr http://www.AKidsRight.Org/civil_back.htm --- Fran <GFGriner@aol.com> > Why have you been arrested 40 times? Was it for protesting? Do you > feel like you have made any headway so far? Thanks for the message. I was there to "petition" my Member of Congress, not really a protest effort. There is more history than I can write here, please check http://www.AKidsRight.Org/events.htm for details. I think we are making headway slowly. It does catch attention and get people involved. The biggest problem right now is numbers. Obviously just one person is easy to dismiss as a 'crank.' When we have another mother and father participating we'll really have a news story. --- BugMob@aol.com > hell is for the children of divorce Yes, I think you said it quite well. At times I am VERY afraid to do what I do and go to jail, but then I think of my son, Domenic, and all the unnecessary pain he has experienced. So pointless and the most innocent ones of all suffer. --- John <dadsareforever@yahoo.com> > You should stick to one issue. Keep your religion out of your desire > to see justice in the "family court". Believe me, you can focus > better and you will not let other people deal with your very > personal beliefs about your religion. Kids need both parents, > remember me? Not two parents, "both". > John, Santa Barbara Yes, I remember you on the BOTH and I think it was a good change. I thought I had addressed the Faith item in other FEEDBACK messages? The group is about NonViolent Action as recently practiced by Gandhi and King. Faith was an essential part of those movements. It does NOT mean that everyone involved in those movements shared the same Faith, or had any Faith at all. The movements were not an attempt to convert people, nor are we now. Regarding 'focus', I think you are quite wrong -- but time will tell. Will we get a meeting with Senator Clinton? > Dear John , thanks for getting back to me.

Sincerely, Bob Brooks, MDiv, DC Shiloh, Georgia Thanks for the message. Yes, I've had many similar thoughts and read some similar ideas. I would highly recommend the bio on King, "Let the Trumpet Sound" -- it really talks about his struggle with Faith. We have a complete reference on our Bio page, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/bibliogr.htm I will share one "angle". People TALK a lot about a LOT of things. I imagine at your school you have thousands of books about Jesus Christ. THere are thousands of other things people said about the nature of God -- but I guess action is what separates the talkers from the believers? I go to some conferences and here people talk about their personal oneness with the Universe, or Mother Earth, or whatever. I always wonder if I held a knife to their throats and said, "I want you to deny what you believe, just for this minute, or your dead?" What about the mini-philosophers you know? I only know one person who drew a picture of God as a loving papa, Jesus of Nazareth, and was willing to quietly die for what he believed in. A man who loved life, laying it all done. I guess I believe, because he believed and demonstrated his belief. Is it TOO late for reform -- ask St. Francis of Asissi? http://www.AKIdsRight.Org/civil_back.htm --- "John" <JRoeder@msico.com> > i read the following and find some of it hard to swallow. i hope > that parents that are a little loud and rude, because the system has > pushed them so far, are also entitled to a fair deal. saints aren't > the only people entitled to fair treatment, are they. especially > when i didnt do the first injustice. now, i'm all for taking the > high road, and if someone is taking up my defense and sticking up > for me, i have no problem being quiet and polite. when i am the only > when defending myself and being personally involved, sometimes i can > bite my lip and sometimes i have to speak the truth, bullies need to > be reminded of what and who they are sometimes. being quiet and > doing or saying nothing or taking no action, i believe is a big part > of the reason men are in the bad position they are in. > ... i am in the same/similar situation as you. i hope you are not a > person that judges a person solely by the experiences you have > had. in other words there are people that have had it tougher than > you and i, easier than you and i, and they are also different > people. i am not attempting to lecture you, i am just afraid. i > need help with my situation, and also in forming a group that > actively marches and demonstrates-absolutely non-violently is > imperitive-on family court in morris county, gets the media > involved, petitions our legal system for reforms, as you have > stated, and whatever else is necessary. > i am afraid because i have run into people that for example find > god, and from this point, everyone that hasn't found god in the same > time and with the same passion is condemned or cut loose from the > group, and denied any help because they haven't had the same > epiphany at the same time. . . maybe due to your own innate > intelligence and it sounds like maybe also your faith in God. a > place of quiet resolve and determination and the knowledge that the > truth will prevail, maybe not all of us have that luxury at this > moment, . . . > as you were recounting your story on your arrest, i thought i was > reading what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. a situation, > where i was assulted several times by the officer, while in > handcuffs, including twisting my handcuffs in a painful position, > shoving me out the front door so i fell face first on the hood of my > car, and putting a choke hold on me, most of this in front of my > son. he also said several times in front of my son, "its a good > thing your son is here or else i would mace you and beat the shit > out of you". he also pointed a can of mace at my son. interesting > enough, he also said very similar things to me, calling me selfish, > and twisting it around, asking me why was i making him do "this" in > front of my son. . . . > from the beginning of my separation, thru my divorce, my son-brian- > being ripped away from me, and bogus domestic violence charges, i > have not really had any legal counsel. you are probably aware of two > aspects of the law that prohibit mostly men from getting legal > counsel. 1-if you dont have joint custody you are not entitled to a > court appointed lawyer, 2- if you have a restraining order against > you, you are not entitled to legal aid. isn't that interesting being > who usually has custody and restraining orders. > if you would like to correspond, or you think you can help me with > either my own problem or with how to start a group, or if i can > participate in/or help with anything regarding your group, here is > my contact info. I can relate to your experiences and I have had some really rought arrests similar to yours. Also, no Faith in God is required to participate or be involved in our group. Actually, your feelings are probably shared by MOST of the people in the group. They make a lot of sense "sometimes i can bite my lip and ometimes i have to speak the truth, bullies need to be reminded of what and who they are sometimes..." If you read some of the history of NonViolent Action, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/civil_back.htm -- you will find that those people agree with you! "Bullies" need to be reminded of who they are and who you are. The officers that were mistreating me knew what they were doing and why. I could have "corrected them" (use your words, not your fists!) -- but that would not have "reminded them". By just taking it and always treating them politely, they were reminded of who they are, and who I was -- a real conversion took place! Very sorry to your story, and being arrested in front of your son -- what an indignity! Sorry we can't help with money or legal help, just no resources. I do know some folks active in New Jersey, try http://www.njccr.org/. If you want publicity, you are welcome to post your story at our Hall of Shame, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/shame.htm The Love you have for your son really comes through in your message. Keep it up!
