This was similar to the last arrest that occurred on November 12th (he used kid's chalk to write a Family Rights message on the side of the building). Because this was the second arrest, John expected he might be held in jail until his next scheduled Village Court date on November 25th. We don't have any details yet, but they will be posted at the web site once we hear from John. There are also pictures of his earlier activity. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/parental_notification Earlier this month John had taped sheets of paper with a simple Family Rights message to the outside wall & windows of the County Courthouse. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/parental_notification/family-rights-poster.pdf John's plan was to use a simple public message to convince local Assemblyman Bob Oaks he should support Family Rights. We'd like him to sponsor a first-in-the-nation Bill that recognizes the right of both biological parents to know they have a child at birth.

It became clear officials at the Courthouse in Lyons were not going to take action even though he was threatened with arrest initially. It was also clear there were no other parents ready to join in this NonViolent Action. A mom & dad willing to accept arrest & jail as a way to peacefully demonstrate the depth of their beliefs. After some discussion, John decided to write the same message on some of the outside walls of the building. Still using kid's chalk, still very easy to remove -- but harder for officials to ignore. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Coordinator AKidsRight.Org jmurtari@AKidsRight.Org A Kid's Right to BOTH parents" (315) 944-0999(x-211) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ ========================================= http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ A Kid's Right to Both Parents! --- Newsletter mailing list Newsletter@kids-right.org http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
