Mother's day greetings. 2. I need a loving mother to join me - with Faith in reform. 3. Mother's day events - didn't get any from "F" groups? 1. Mother's day greetings. ------------------------- Best wishes for a Happy Mother's Day! A special greeting to those of you who may not have even see your children; who have not received a card from your little ones because your former spouse is blind to your value as a parent. For all those "awkward" moments this day can bring: "Did your kids send you flowers?", "I got a beautiful card from my daughter, how about you?", "We are all going out for dinner tonight, and you?" A VERY special greeting to those who have to deal with family members & friends who say, "Just try to accept it, life goes on!", "I'm sure whatever happened was for the best...." Please understand they just don't know. Would you have used those words in talking to: A slave in the 1850's? A black forced to the "back of the bus" in the 1950's? Admit it, maybe you would have -- until you experienced it first hand. We open the door to reform when we demonstrate the power of our love. When we stop seeking to be the ONLY parent to our children, but an EQUAL parent. If they stick a camera in your face and ask you "why?". Don't waste your 20 seconds on hate for your former spouse, the social worker, judges or lawyers. Tell them about your great love for your kids -- even better, show them.... That is what NonViolent Action is all about. That with real Faith, real Love, and real Sacrifice, real miracles can happen. But you have to believe and act, then noble dreams take on flesh and become reality. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/civil.htm "Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its passion unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned." -- Song of Songs 8:6-7 2. I need a loving mother to join me - with Faith in reform. ----------------------------------------------------------- Can we turn those noble words about love into reality? As we all know, one person alone can be dismissed as a "crazy" -- you get three people and you have a "movement." Through my past actions I've certainly sensitized some local politicians and media about Family Rights. What's missing -- getting more parents who are willing to sacrifice their freedom to demonstrate the depths of their love and their Faith in reform. The only other parent I ever had join me was Cathy Hughes, willing to write "I LOVE YOU" with chalk to her kids and risk arrest right outside a US Federal building. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/index.htm#cathy NBC affiliate video: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/video/hanley25jan.asx (windows media) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/video/hanley25janA.mpg (mpeg-4) I'm planning another action like that for early August outside the local offices of Assemblyman Robert Oaks (in Lyons, NY). Hopefully these words will resonate within a loving mom somewhere out there -- who wants to stand up for her own dignity, and for the right of all Mothers & Fathers to be presumed FIT & EQUAL when it comes to their children. Interested? Take a look at the following and contact me, John Murtari (jmurtari@AKidsRight.Org) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/approach.htm http://www.AKidsRight.Org/civil.htm 3. Mother's day events - didn't get any from "F" groups? -------------------------------------------------------- It's about 9 am on Sunday as I'm writing this. I've always raised the issue with the "F" lettered groups that we need to be M & F groups -- okay, (M)others and (F)athers. I'm always told, "John, we may have F in our name, but we support equal rights for Fathers & Mothers." We didn't get any planned events in response to our earlier message and perhaps a surprise event will happen today. Actions speak louder than words. Reform will never gain traction as long as we continue to identify ourselves and act by gender. The greatest weapon opponents to reform have is keeping this a mom v. dad struggle. -- 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/ ======================================= http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ A Kid's Right to Both Parents! ------ Newsletter mailing list Newsletter@kids-right.org subscribe/unsubscribe info below: http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
