"dead beat" parent round-up
Just heard on the news they pulled another "round-up of dead beat parents"
here in Tucson. They named it "Operation Child-support". Channel 4 news reported all the standard "politically correct" bull**** and used the term "dead beat parents". I guess that's more 'correct' than dead beat dads but no matter what, the reality is that out of the 21 people still sitting in jail as of this evening, (the "round-up" was at 5am), there is *one* woman. The token woman. I'm writing an e-mail to Channel 4 (www.kvoa.com) , hoping to enlighten them a little as to the reality of dead-broke dads. I can't find the story on their website yet. They just aired it so maybe it's not on it yet. With all the talented writers and ranters we have here I'm hoping we can all send them a bit of enlightening e-mail. Who knows? Maybe somebody will be listening? ~AZ~ |

You are right--We do need a bevy of well-written editable(?)letters posted here that could be sent to various media /government outlets. Umm...Kenneth? :-) ============== ~AZ~ |

It would be better to help these men (and the single woman their 'snared') to find employment, then to jail them for failure to support their children. I predict, that soon, there will be no one to use as a scapegoat any longer. That very soon, there will be no one to point a finger at, save for the very agencies (federal, state, and local) which create such problems to 'solve'. |

I have started and stopped over and over a 'standardized' letter that could be used for that purpose but I am not as good a writer as many here. I receive the ACLU action alerts that are letters about various subjects that I can add comments to and then I send it to my Congressmen via fax or e-mail. These letters are well written, they don't sound like ranting and raving yet they get the point across very well. If you want to see some examples go to the ACLU website at www.aclu.org and check them out. Can anybody here write a right-to-the-point type letter without using the terms propaganda or nazis? I couldn't. I'll post a copy of the e-mail I sent. ~AZ~ ============== ~AZ~ |
