ARE YOU OUT TO LUNCH?

[MYSONSDAD]

After viewing how many are now signed up here, I cannot believe that only a few, are willing to take a few minutes to write a short letter.

Judge Goldberg has rendered a decision that could change things for so many of us. She needs to know the stories of non-custodials and what they deal with.

This is a chance for all of us to show support. Quit crying and whining and do something positive.

We all saw the positive results of the 'Boys are Stupid' campaign.

Look what happened in Iowa.

It's called team work and putting our efforts into the good of all children to be active with both parents.

I know your computers are not broke, I know you can type. If I have to write a hundred letters a day to have a more active part in my sons life, I will write forever.

That is why God invented 'copy and paste'

There are around 1600 members here. If each person wrote and asked a family member or friend to also write. That is well over 3000 letters. It takes less then two minutes.

Help make a difference, if this is reversed due to pressure from oposing groups, don't cry to me.

ENOUGH SAID.....

P.S. GEORGIE, if I have made any spelling errors, you can send me a PM

I wrote two emails and received two responses from the judge's office immediately.  The judge is getting spanked on this ruling.  She needs reinforcement from our "silenced" majority.

This judge took custody away from a parent who was a PAS initiator.  Most of the court's in this country refuse to accept PAS as a valid psychological disorder and this judge made a ruling based on that.  This is so unbelievably huge.

This birthmother is going before this judge again in four weeks.  I'm scared to death that given the court of public opinion, this ruling could go south.

For all the noncustodial parents who talk about their PAS custodial parent, and I read it all of the time on these forums, this is a precedent for all of us.

I just e-mailed.  Mine was a simple and quick note of support.  

Does anyone have a good form letter that could be slightly edited by each sender, then pasted onto an e-mail?

[hisliltulip]

In a sense, yes.

Writing to anyone I do not know makes me nervous.

I have sent an email though, just because, as a Mother, I am disgusted by Marks behavior since the ruling.

As far as I am concerned, she reinforced the Judges decision with her actions.

To get media help is one thing, to drag the children in front of the cameras is abuse as far as I am concerned.

She didn't learn, did she?

She loses custody because of PAS.

Then gets on the news continues to slander her children's Father, all while the kids are right there!  (Which now gives the Father evidence on tape.... he he)

As a Mother, I find this disgusting.

I can't stand my ex, but our son doesn't know that!

[MYSONSDAD]

Simple and sweet is fine!

Everyone of us has faced PAS in some form. A short summary of what you've had to deal with will open her eyes of what a wide spread concern this truly is. PAS is also used in many ways. She needs to hear this.

No form letters, I think things mean more when they come from the heart and everyone has a different story to tell.

Showing support for Judge Goldberg's decision WILL make a difference.

[MYSONSDAD]

The way Marks handled things is not love.

Those girls are just a meal ticket to her.

HMMMM - been away for a few days....what did I miss?

i wrote last week (actually i emailed)

here is what i sent

The Honorable Judge Goldberg

Dear Judge Goldberg,

I wanted to write you a quick note of support on your ruling on the Marks/Aylsworth case yesterday.

I have seen the horrible effects of Parent Alienation Syndrome (PAS) first hand and I think that your ruling will have a positive impact on an issue that has been largely ignored by the courts.

It is about time that someone took a stand against this disgusting epidemic in our country. Again, kudos to a job well done.


and here is the response I got

I have spent the morning answering angry e-mails- Yours was clearly
one of the more thoughtful ones and I will pass that one on to her .
David B.

his email address is David Bookstaver [[email protected]] for all of u that want to email him

[joni]

wink...wink

you started all of this with your great idea to contact the judge.  we're just trying to get everyone here at SPARC to send a note, the response seems to be very slow.

[forthekids24]

I tried to send an email to the address in this thread.... bounced, the address is "no longer accepting messages"

Anyone have another email address?

I will print my letter and snail mail also.

[SadStepMom]

I tried emailing at the link provided, but got it returned saying that it was either unknown or not accepting mail.

Anyone else have this problem?

I guess I will have to snail mail.

Thanks for posting.  I had been meaning to send a letter, but forgot during the busy week.

[hisliltulip]

The same think happened to me.  I went back, and there is a typo on the address.

Here is the corrected address

I've also sent it to my friends and asked them to write and pass it on.  I've seen what an e-mail chain letter can do . . .


Judge Goldberg,

I wanted to let you know that I support your ruling in the Marks vs Aylsworth case.  I realize the courage it takes to stand up for what is right, especially in the face of public opinion.  Those who question your decision have obviously never been on the receiving end of alienation.  It destroys our children and is no less harmful than physical abuse.

Thank you for making that known.

Sincerely,

[SallyandJack]

and ask them to foward to the judge

[SallyandJack]

thanks....

well i hope that the majority of people here will send favorable emails...

although i know that there are a few displaced woman on this site - woman who are either spies for singlemomz or who just don't get it.  

and posting these email addresses also gives them the opportunity to send negative emails.

but lets hope for the best.

i also thought of contacting the NYTimes and asking them if they ever thought about doing a story on PAS - and this case.  does anyone have any opinions on this?  I suppose i could try to find the editor-in-chiefs email address and try to contact this person?  

[Forthelittleones]

Judge Goldberg,
 
It was with great interest that I have read and followed your rulings in this case.  You see this case is somewhat similar to the one that my fiancé is currently going through.  His ex Wife has accused him of all sorts of abuse just prior to long parenting time periods and then she drops the case after she gets the time taken away.  
 
We need many more Judges who are willing to step up to the plate and let ANY parent who is not placing the best interests of the child above their own - that it will not be tolerated.  Our children are the future of our society.  This mom proved to me that she does not hold dear her children by her placing her kids in the media spotlight when they went with their dad.
 
I applaud you in your decision.  I only hope you will have the courage to continue to put the best interests of the CHILDREN before their parents needs.
 
Best Regards,

[SallyandJack]

u guys go!!!!

lets kick some ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Everyside]

I never write letters... I'm a horrible speller.  But I sent one out on this one.  :-D

Opposing has two Ps.  I just corrected the other guy cause it was a full up website and needs to be professional.  I don't mind errors in a post.  I just get really turned off by websites with grammar and spelling errors.  I dislike it so much that they lose my business.  I just posted this to satisfy your need for drama.

[MYSONSDAD]

You say you do not mind errors in the posts. But often correct everyone who has made one. They are here giving help and support and you are determined to undermind them if they should have an error.

And may I correct you, it is not drama, it is pure and simple sarcasm.
You appear from time to time, make your comments and then run off and hide.

If you are here to be constuctive, fine. I just have not seen this characteristic in you.

Many here are under one of the most devastating and stressful times of their lives. They are bound to make a few mistakes. There are more important things in life then a few spelling errors.
