Has anyone gone to the site or downloaded the endorsement form? I cant tell without feedback! (yes, I know, Im a nag! but folks this is my lifes work!)

I'm not in CA so unable to help with this. It upsets me that children are being ignored and the attitudes they are being subjected to. Good luck with all you are doing Mary

What happens when you join? Do you just make a donation or is there more to it? I guess I could have read through the site more thoroughly, huh! It seems like a very worthy cause. I have a 3 year old daughter and I can't imagine if anything like that were to happen to her.

There are membership dues, but they are varied. the standard fee is $35 for one year but if you are a student, it is $10 I think and there is also a place for you to put in your own amount if you are financially embarrassed...I almost checked that box because I am really hurting, I pay 100% of the expenses and get precious little help from the dad....but, I am getting a tax return and I can afford it then. Another thing people can do is download the endorsement and make copies and put them around or maybe in your local paper and get the word out that way. (this is for the CA bill.) in any event, if you are interested at ALL in the sad way our Children are treated by the one place charged by law to look at their best interests, then by all means, please do check it out further! And to everyone, thank you for caring enuff to look at the site. One day, we can all cheer when our kids are finally safe. I look forward to that day and will do all I can to hurry it along!

I get home from work and the message is from Senator Battin's office, he READ my email !!!!!! (I sent him an email thanking him for his efforts and gave him background on my case and offered to help any way I could) and his assistant called and asked me to send him a summary of my case! So, after a quick update of my case I sent it off, and am now awaiting his assessment. I am of course willing to testify in committee if needed, to show how important this Bill is!

I must say, Im a bit blown away.....

It gets better, but I may be premature, so I left the other bits out. Suffice it to say that there is a possibility that the Piece of Crap Law that I have been complaining about may get some attention...

I am just amazed when I think of all the big high mucketymucks I have had contact with...Ive spoken with 2 State Legislators and 1 Federal Representative, I am on speaking terms with the higher ups in 4 different Child advocacy groups....I correspond regularly with a very well respected Forensic Psychologist....and I cant believe my good fortune...I am only a housewife/mother/workingstiff after all, nobody special, just a person who cares like millions of other people.....but for some reason, these IMPORTANT people are listening to me....now, I pray that I can say what needs to be said so that ALL our children will be protected~

Thanx Pip, and remember, PROTECT is in 9 nations, maybe England is one of them? if not, maybe you can help start a new chapter? I sincerely wish the day will come when activism like this is no longer necessary, that we can all rest easy knowing that our kids are truly protected.
