Greetings!

.Prayer. During the WWII bombing, people in London were urged to pray at 9:00 pm every night. Miracles happened. One night the powerful German airforce began a blitzkreig, and then unexpectedly retreated at 9:00 pm. The tiny, weak British airforce captured a German pilot who explained that the Germans fled because they could not have possibly prevailed against the overwhelming British air power. Miracles still happen. We urge all mothers, advocates, and all who care about children to pray at 9:00 pm your time every night.

2.Note: The lawsuit mentioned in our previous newsletter in Tulare County involves Tulare County only. Please contact the attorney atChildAbuseLaw@aol.comif you are aware of any cases in Tulare County. (We know it is a pattern all over the whole country, but this suit is specific to one county - for now).

3.Book. If you have been arrested or incarcerated for trying to protect your children, please send your histories for a book calledMothers Incarceratedto Monica atms5517@aol.com. She is compiling chapters for thisveryneeded book.

4.Networking.Looking for protective mothers who have lost custody of their kids in the Poughkeepsie courthouse in Dutchess County, New York. Please call 505-922-8788 or email MothersRus2011us@gmail.com

5.Cases. Richard Fine is a US Attorney who was jailed for contempt after blowing the whistle on the judiciary receiving county funds for doing their state jobs. His story is amazing. He has a possible method for getting cases overturned in counties that double fund judges. It's definitely worth a look.http://fulldisclosure.net/Blogs/96.php

6.California. May 9, on the day after Mothers Day, a rally will be held at the California State Capitol. It will mirror the Washington DC Mothers Day event by asking for reform of the family court.
