Good People & People of Faith, John Murtari returned to the Syracuse Federal Building today at about 11 AM. Instead of chalk, John carried a picture of he and his son, along with those of other parents. A written message said "Senator Clinton Help Us". To see the small placard and for more background go to: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/clinton John planned to be quiet and not bother anyone, by just walking in the public Federal Plaza, but this simple action would put him in violation of a broad stay-away order issued by US Magistrate DiBianco (follow the link above to see a copy of the order). It appears he was taken into custody and jailed again. For quick info see John's letter to the Judge and US Attorney, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/clinton/dibianco20.pdf News Release: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/clinton/release39.pdf #### TO HELP please contact Senator 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), tel: 202-224-4451, fax: 202-228-0121 It is beginning to make an impact. Mr. Biba is new to the job here and may not know what has already happened in the past. John has personally called him twice and left messages and also sent a FAX, no response yet. Some responses to what we have heard them say so far: 1) "We've had no request for a meeting" -- Repeated letters have been mailed, FAX'd, and FedEx'd to the Senator. Some have been delivered in person. We have had NO reply and NO return phone calls. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr http://www.AKidsRight.Org/newyork.htm 2) "The Senator doesn't come for personal meetings to Syracuse" - We are not looking for a one-to-one meeting. We'd like her to hear first hand from a small group of parents, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/clinton/agenda.htm . She is often in the Central New York area to meet with other business/advocacy groups. 3) "This is not a Federal issue" -- This is about getting the Civil Rights of parents and children to be together, recognized & protected. It should not matter what State you live in. 4) "Priority, schedule conflicts" -- Is there anything more important and foundational to our Nation than the family? -- John Murtari ____________________________________________________________________ Coordinator AKidsRight.Org jmurtari@AKidsRight.Org "A Kid's Right to BOTH parents" Toll Free (877) 635-1968(x-211) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ ======================================= Newsletter mailing list Newsletter@kids-right.org subscribe/unsubscribe info below: http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
