Many thanks! -------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Angelo Logo <info@supportthemovie.com> Dear Supporters, >From Mississippi to Kansas to Massachusetts to California and to Yes you guessed Down Under Australia. We made this budget today! Thank You! On top of that we have 2 more opportunities open up for festival submissions that we will be submitting to. We will keep you posted as things develop. I am honored and very happy to tell all of you that the goal and funds were raised as of late afternoon yesterday and some this morning. We received $1,000 dollars from the NCFM, www.NCFM.org and the Fathers 4 Justice F4J Los Angeles to complete the amount we needed today to make this happen and get the needful completed DVDs out to the festival (s) next week. We will be editing Monday evening. I am lost for words at all the support that came pouring in for us. Not just the funding just honest heart felt support from people that want to see this project come out. Total Raised $2,895.00..........YOU ALL MADE IT happen........ now I will do my part. Thank You!! Unfortunately, there is also the NEGATIVE ones that have just started bashing me and questioning my intentions to this project and etc. All I can say is that the last 4 years have been so difficult not only for me but also for my family and friends who, even though believe in what I am doing and support me, I know have a hard time because this is all I have tried to do is get out to a trust worthy distribution that will play it. At the bottom you will see a list of Special Thanks for the help we have gotten. To all those that I will not name here its because. sad to say.. I don't want you to be emailed, called, harassed or attacked for helping me or this film. (crazy isn't it) ... The problem is REAL! The people are REAL! The film can be called a Full Feature movie, Film, Docu feature, Movie, video, clips, or what ever else you want to call it. It exists there is a DVD cover, there are trailers, there are clips, there are tears there is laughter, there is animation, there archive videos, judges, attorneys, woman and men, non-custodial and custodial parents. If you want to know after 220 hours or so of footage, it is at 72 minutes Total Run time which is (my understanding) industry standard for a MOVIE to be shown theatrically which we have done and this week we will be putting together the final touches to make as many festivals including the Atlanta one (dates to be announced) and then looking forward to the next of goal of qualifying for the Academy. (we have to try it) ... Thanks again for believing in me. I will be working the next 5 days thank you. Angelo PLEASE NOTE: THE FULL VERSION OF THE DVD WILL BE AVAILABLE ***AFTER*** WE GET THIS FILM QUALIFIED AND DO THE FESTIVAL ROUTE FOR THE LAST TIME THIS YEAR! WE WILL HAVE A FEW SCREENERS PLANNED FOR IT TO MEET THOSE GOALS AND RELEASE SOON AFTER ON DVD. FOR NOW THE "SNEAK PEAK" IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE www.supportthemovie.com AND AMAZON for international customers. THANK YOU!

Equal Parenting - action in Canada. ------------------------------------- Submitted by: Kris Titus <bigwonderwoman@gmail.com> PRESS RELEASE: Equal Shared Parenting Poll Results Does the majority actually rule in Canada? Member of Parliament, Maurice Vellacott, Thursday announced the results of a poll conducted by Nanos on support for equal parenting which shows yet again that there is a large majority public support for equal parenting in law with a 78% support rate. These results prove what F4J Fathers 4 Justice has been saying for years now, at great risk and peril to their superhero campaigners. "The time for equal parenting is absolutely now. As far back as 1998 a Compas poll showed 78% support and the poll we commissioned in 2007 showed 79.1% support. Someone has got to demand that the majority in this country have a voice when it comes to the welfare of divorced families," says Kris Titus, National Coordinator. Titus is one of 5 superhero campaigners for the organization who face severe charges for their stunts that raise awareness of this important issue. Recently Benoit Leroux aka Robin and Guy Dumais, were convicted on appeal after arguing the defense of 'necessity' for a direct action which closed the Jacques Cartier bridge in Montreal several years ago. "It's troubling to see our superheros who risk their lives and liberty for the sake of children being convicted and treated so harshly by the courts and Crown Attorney's office," says Titus in reference to the lack of response to other civil protests. One has to ask, when will the majority rule that stands up for the welfare of Canadian children and parents be recognized as a worthy and noble goal? If MPs like Maurice Vellacott and his fellow supporters of this issue stand strong in the face of 'minority' opposition, then it will happen sooner rather than later, which is still not soon enough. "Maurice Vellacott is proving himself to be a Member of Parliament who listens to Canadians. Family Law issues are all over the news and there is an increasing outcry for reform," Titus says, "It's time for Mr. Ignatieff to seal the deal and stand up for what he has clearly stated he believes in, equal shared parenting." The results are in. Canadians have spoken. Our government must act.

Bill Coleman - isolated and jailed ------------------------------------- Submitted by: "Geoff Coleman" <geoffc88@tiscali.co.uk> I have just spoken to Bill, he is being tortured in more ways than one over his force feeding, not just physically but mentally the doc are playing games. He wants you to know that he is now being told he can not keep mail. He can read it and then he has to hand it back. Also he asked if you send him legal materials it has to go through your lawyers or through bills lawyers, otherwise he can not receive them. He wanted you to know this. Many thanks for the support you have for Bill. Also: Read letter written by the ACLU on Bill's behalf to the UN Human Rights commission regarding his treatment in prison: http://www.AKidsRight.org/support/aclu_coleman_letter.pdf ----------- brief summary: [ We've had a couple of list messages about Mr. Coleman. http://www.akidsright.org/archive/archive2009/0004.html -- A letter would certainly be welcome and I'm sure he would appreciate a personal visit by anyone in the Connecticut area! His address is: Mr. William Coleman (3-305106) 1153 East Street South Suffield, CT 06080 ] Submitted by (his brother): "Geoff Coleman" <geoffc88@tiscali.co.uk> Since the 1st April 2009 Bill has resumed his protest and has stopped taking all fluids. They are not allowing him personal phone calls and they have taken his pen away. He wants you to know that he is not able to correspond with you by means of phone call or letter. Bill has not been force-fed yet. He expects to get an NG feeding on Monday. http://www.billcolemaninnocentmanwrongfullyconvicted.webs.com/ If you right to Bill and want to visit he can be put on his list.
