Good People & People of Faith,
1. Back to Jail - convincing Sen. Clinton?
2. Still in Jail from Lincoln Memorial - Robert Dickerson
3. DC Rally 2007 - speaker FEEDBACK.
4. DC Rally 2007 - your FEEDBACK.
5. NY Politics - Equal Parenting Party!
1. Back to Jail - convincing Sen. Clinton?
------------------------------------------
It was a pleasure meeting people in person that I only knew via email
at the Rally. As I have said in previous list messages, I will soon
be returning to the Syracuse Federal Building and writing some
messages on the Plaza grounds: "I Love Dom" & "Sen. Clinton Help Us!"
In the past I had announced exact date/times,
http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr, but I found that it only helped
officials take my chalk away before anything happened. The Senator's
regional rep, Mr. Jay Biba, told Katherine a few weeks ago that we
need to "write more letters" to her about our issue. Well, I'll be
writing more 'letters' on the Plaza. What is missing in volume, I
hope will be compensated by enthusiasm and the sacrifice of my
freedom, on my terms. Adding an exclamation point to those letters.
How you can help/my rationale for this:
Review info/letters at: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/clinton
Make a polite call to her Washington and especially her Syracuse
Office (ask for/leave a message for Mr. Jay Biba). You can also fax a
letter to both.
Syracuse Local rep, Jay Biba tel: 315-448-0470, fax: 315-448-0476
Lona Valmoro (Senior Advisor to the Senator), tel: 202-224-4451,
fax: 202-228-0121
Pictures: It would be great if someone could be in the 'vicinity' and
get pictures of what happens. Please contact me.
Publicity/PR: Ms. Teri Stoddard from California was great in providing
help before. She now has a much busier job and may not be able to make
media contacts. If you can help, please contact me.
Writing Letters on the ground: Obviously, it would be great to have
another Mom & Dad with me either as an observer or participant.
2. Still in Jail from Lincoln Memorial - Robert Dickerson
---------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Steve McDonough <daddyozz@verizon.net>
[I wanted to forward this message to everyone. No one likes to be
forgotten. I don't know many of the details on Robert, but he did
risk participation in the Lincoln Memorial event even though he had
pending 'support' problems in New Hampshire. If someone can send me
an update/jail address we will send that out - John]
This is an update on Robert Dickerson [from his attorney]: Much to my
surprise the State of New Hampshire picked up Robert from the DC Jail
today. I learned of it this afternoon when I went to visit him. When I
saw that he was not on the daily census I asked the guards at the main
entrance where he was. I was told that he was picked up this morning
at 6:00 a.m.
I have to say, given the resources that the State had to invest to do
this I did not think they would get him. Especially since I've seen
people with much more serious problems (i.e. serious criminal charges)
released after three days when they are not picked up by the demanding
state.By the time I learned that Robert has been picked up it was past
4:00 p.m. which is when the Rockingham County Sheriff warrant squad
stops answering its phones. I have sent them an e-mail and I will call
tomorrow.I have Robert's personal property and will safe keep it until
his release. His court dates in D.C. are far enough out that I'm not
worried that he will miss them. And far enough out that I can deal
with it if, for some reason, New Hampshire gives him a date that
presents a conflict in D.C. I can and will continue to work on his
criminal matters in D.C. in his absence.
3. DC Rally 2007 - speaker FEEDBACK.
-----------------------------------
The report on the DC rally, http://www.AKidsRIght.Org/dcrally2007 got
a lot of good feedback. People enjoyed the pictures. I did get some
comments from two of the speakers, below:
--- Dr. Shirley Moore <DrshirleyM@aol.com>
> Please remove the insult of myself and Dr. Mannix off of your
> website? This is not right, if we are going to work together on a
> common cause their is no room for this. Everyone talks about CPS
> labeling people, this is the very same thing that you are doing.
> Whether we work together or not, their is no room for this behavior.
> Everyone has their own opinions, however, I have gotten many invites
> to various states to speak on just this very issue...
> I am a firm believer in mutual respect, and this is not a sign of
> respect. . Lastly, people did not come all that far to be
> disrespected, therefore, Mannix and I both deserve an apology. In
> addition, many people have also been offended by these statements.
> I pray that you would correct that site, so that leadership won't be
> look upon in an unfavorable manner...
In many ways I agree with what you say, but I think we should extend
our unwillingness to 'label' people to the Judges, Lawyers, and Social
Workers who sometimes destroy our family lives? For an event held on
a day to honor Martin Luther King I thought 'go after them' speeches
were out of line with his, "I have a dream". He could have chosen to
say many, many bad things about the white man. Many things that were
absolutely true -- but he did not. That was his way to reform, that
is why I included his words at the end of my report...
Personally, I did not like your presentation. I certainly don't
belittle your dignity or value as a fellow human. I wanted to be
level-handed and that is why I also added that many people did like
your style. This is America and our 'movement' is still finding our
way.... I will share your feedback with those in the group and you
are welcome to have the last word.
If you have time I'd like to share your thoughts with members of the
group on the goal for reform? I feel we need to presume Fit & Equal
parents unless you are convicted in a criminal court of being a
demonstrated serious threat to the safety of your kids (with
malintent). It is a 'tough' standard, but I hope it captures the
essence of our Civil Right. That good, average, & poor parents are
all fit and equal parents.
One brief example that I welcome your comment on: A high-conflict
divorce: Dad has been the stay-at-home parent, involved at school,
active with kids, healthy life style, the kids LOVE him. Mom never
goes to school activities, just watches TV at night, overweight &
smokes, yells at the kids.
When they walk into Court they are Fit & Equal, the default agreement
is an alternating week with each parent, and they are welcome to
attend mediation. Your thoughts?

welcome to explain a bit more.

There were a few hundred people there. A lot of chiefs -- but not many
indians! I think it will grow, Rev. Smith has a good attitude about
reform and is a nice man. I've heard the same opinion from others
regarding climbing the monument. I think they did a great thing. For
my explanation look toward the end of report where I talk about their
actions, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/dcrally2007

Yes, I quite agree with you. We need to become parents concerned for
reform and that needs to be reflected in the names of our groups.

I'm afraid I chose my words poorly in the article. I very strongly
feel we should be presumed FIT & EQUAL parents -- I reworded the
article after getting your message. I objected to 'best interest' in
the sense that the government has the right to make that decision the
way they do now.

30% of women are divorced 30% of Men are divorced 40% are married
How do you get over 51% to win election to change the system?
20% of men 20% of women 20% of married people who don't want to see
the system get any worse = 60% which is good anywhere and anyplace.
