Chrissy Chrzanowski of SplitNTwo: Compelling, Emotional, and True

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:17:47 -0400

Chrissy Chrzanowski of SplitNTwo delivered a compelling, emotional, and true account of parental alienation before the crowds at DC FESTIVAL 2008 and now the entire Internet. Parental alienation is the mental manipulation of children, which can result in destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. Parental Alienation can occur in intact families, but is mostly seen in separated and divorced families. Parental Alienation is Child Abuse.

Chrissy's Speech Can Be Seen on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnFUJeDt8cI

Through the participation of so many dedicated advocates working throughout the United States and coming together in a united front, I have two things to say:

1. Parental Rights should be respected and protected by all.

2. We are united and we are everywhere.

The time for speaking to the choir is over, and all our efforts will be directed at content production, advocate training, and public outreach. We are united and we are everywhere. Respect parental rights or your election will enter our sights.

ACTION LIST COUNTDOWN TO TONIGHT! Final Destination? DC FESTIVAL 2008

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:40:33 -0400

Last night on the GET OFF THE BENCH talk show we indicated we were going to send out special announcements regarding final destination DC FESTIVAL 2008 after we spoke with our awesome Equal Parenting Bike Trekkers last night. This is that message. Print this email off as a task list if you have to, it is important. WE all have to get this stuff done. This email is intended to be redistributed today by leadership to County and State groups as well as to direct action activists that are ready to move beyond the keyboard.

Volunteers. We need several volunteers asap!!! Please fill out this form: FORM SITE FOR VOLUNTEER SIGN UP - digest readers email me at dcevents@laryholland.com for direct link.

We need people to notify the organizations listed at this site that a group supporting Parental Rights are going to be in Washington DC.

1. click one of the links near the top of the spreadsheet, then log each organization that you email information to about the festival. Remember, the point of our advocacy efforts are not just to meet one another, but to recruit and notify outside organizations and agencies that we exist. Your help is invaluable to this end! We simply cannot do it all. We have to get more volunteers.

2. If you have questions, contact splitntwo@yahoo.com, amothersfight@yahoo.com, or loop_hole_justice@yahoo.com. They will be able to explain answers to any of your questions in the next 24 hours. Don't wait!

We have had around 23 states contribute something! This is awesome and we have done this in just under 60 days, and now we really have to pull off a miracle. We have raised more than 6 times the past efforts for this event, but have still fallen short with organizational benefactors waiting to get involved. You are part of that miracle of why we have been successful up to this point and we have made great strides demonstrating that individuals can make a real difference.

We can do some more and it can start with a donation, telephone call, or volunteer position. I think you will agree. Make a point to contact at least two people in states that have not contributed yet, and urge the importance. We need to get more states involved for this building block event and because many states have not hit their groups minimum. This hurts the event in a bad way and we have to cure this over the next 24-30 hours. Every person can help recruit $5.00 - $10.00 donations for the states that have not gotten involved. We want at least half the states to on the board as this is truly a NATIONAL issue. Let's prove it.

Also, look into any membership fees that you might have submitted to organizations and see if those organizations have contributed financially to a parental right's event in 2008. If not, this is the perfect event for larger organizations to step up to. We also have a need for speakers in select areas to complete the programs. If you sense any organizations are silent, with a "wait and see" approach to their support, then it stands to reason they will "wait and see" on legislative activities as well. People hate it when I make a statement like this, but as advocates, sometimes we have to take time and spend it advocating to our organizations. Speaking to ourselves, although important, impedes our ability to sway legislators. This is important when reviewing which organizations to support in the coming year after the election. I don't know about you, but I am done with the wait and see approach to advocacy. It gets us nowhere and results in more time away from our children.

I typically have supported activities of most known organizations and even I will be reviewing which ones I financially and physically support for the coming years and hope you will to. Remember the prediction email that I sent out? Conceptualize, Visualize, Materialize!

Here is something to consider: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." I have been trying to help all invent a future where we have equal access to our children and help as many as possible individually as possible. Are we "waiting and seeing" and failing to invent the future? Parental Equality seems like a worthy issue to take up and fight.

Final letters of support need to get into me asap. Email them per the website under Get Involved at the top (#6 on the list). Go to the website and click "Get Involved" at the top and please get your individual, organization, and agency support letters for the event in. All the details are there. Recruit others to do the same asap. This is about delivering our voices post election! Let's get this done as soon as possible.

Despite all odds, we have made it this far, lets finish the home run stretch tonight on the conference call. We are short a tremendous number of physical items as a result of too few people stretching themselves to far. We need your help and expertise in key areas. You know someone with skills, get them on the call tonight.

Live Call In: 724-444-7444

Talkcast id: 43507

No Pin? Just hit 1+#

Bring as many people as you can to the conference call tonight. It is important!

Also, flood the various yahoo groups with your Travel Arrangements, proposed stopping/mini rally points, and lodging details. Don't sit in silence, start reaching out to other people in your state! There are still some people that are making direct requests to just a few people instead of getting connected in their own networking circles and advocating. You should get your car pool requests spread out to and we know they are coming from every state. The only reason not to post is so you can say you didn't find one. No easy way outs, we have thought of all the excuses, so each of you PLEASE POST YOUR ITINERARIES. It is time for you to hold the hands of others instead of a few holding your hands. Everyone has the opportunity to lead and be a part of history. Don't wait for someone else to do what you are more than capable of doing. Show our government how serious you are about making every event a successful talking point in State and Federal circles.

Please follow through with the entirety of this message. Sure it is long, but how long have you had to wait to get government out of your homes? Let's work together to affect this election cycle. Everything is right here for us to carry the message Nationally, Regionally, and Locally. As we have to do is act my friends. The opportunity this year will escape us for at least 2 more years. Contribute as a volunteer or as a financial supporter.

Sincerely,

Lary Holland

News Media Across the Country Informed of Parents Day (July 27, 2008)

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:39:21 -0400

Everyone has heard of Mother's Day and Father's Day, but few actually knew there was a collective federal holiday referred to as "Parent's Day" coming up this Sunday (July 27, 2008) until YOU let them know. Be sure to announce it to everyone and we appreciate you taking time out of your day to help make parents important once again. Please publish pertinent information from this message accordingly.

By operation of federal law (US Code, Title 36, Section 135), the fourth Sunday in July is officially known as Parents Day, and every level of local, state and federal government is directed by this law to officially recognize the importance of parents in the lives of children "through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts" - i.e., for once, government HAS to agree with us, and also put it in fancy writing for us, and do something "educational" about it, just for the asking... You can also see the same law here and here and here.

One mayor practically declared war on behalf of parents against government intrusion in this Proclamation that was issued compliments of the United Civil Rights Council of America.http://unitedcivilrights.org/members/ParentsDay/Proclamations/UT-SandyCity-Mayor.pdf

So as you are enjoying this weekend, know that it is up to you, the press, our churches, our families to remind everyone that government should respect and PROTECT parental rights to be just that...parents.

If you see a mother or a father, remind them that July 27, 2008 is in honor of them and encourage parents to work together on behalf of raising the next significant generation of children that will lead this great nation.

If nothing else, make mention of the National Civil Rights event for parents coming up this August 15 & 16 in honor of all those great parents out there. Many Legislators, Candidates, and Organizations are all in support of parenthood, so spread the word about tomorrow being such an important day. Check out the site as well to see information regarding several Constitutional Amendments being proposed and more.

Where we have a government that thinks it has the apparent authority to confiscate children at will, as we can see from the recent issues in Texas earlier this year, something needs to be done.

Sincerely,
Lary Holland

"I Have Work To Finish" Lary Holland to the Grim Reaper

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 14:28:11 -0400

The Grim Reaper came to collect a little bit early again and he granted me an adjournment "sine die" while I complete my work here.

I met a gentleman the other day named Mr. Reaper, he was an old friend. He came to collect a bit early and granted me another adjournment, this one "sine die."

Some of you may have heard that either the Friend of the Court attempted a mail bomb hit on me or I was in a freak accident. The reality of it was, I was in an explosion. This explosion was at point blank range and it happened on Thursday in the middle of the day. I was standing next to a truck with a large gasoline tank, the kind that holds over 30 gallons or more. As I approached the tank on the driver's side I heard the sound of a canon and a blaze of metal and fire exploded into me.

I was able to block the main fireball (the majority of it) from my face with my left forearm. Unfortunately, bare skin does not hold up very well against Gasoline Liquid, Gasoline Vapor, and the Explosive Force necessary to escape a solid rusty metal tank.

http://www.burnsurgery.com/Documents/gasoline_safety.doc

1 gallon of gasoline = 20 sticks of dynamite

Now some things that I happened to learn about was:

"In spite of the routine use of gasoline, many people are unaware of or unappreciative of the dangers of gasoline. Gasoline is dangerous because it is highly volatile – the fumes are capable of ignition up to 12 feet away from a pooled source. This inherent danger is further multiplied by its explosive potential. Flammables burn at close to room temperature (100 degrees F), when they are near a spark, flame, or even static electricity. It can float on water and may spread long distances, making ignition and flash back possible. Gasoline vapor is highly explosive and may ignite as a “fireball” with a temperature of 15,000 degrees F."

Now again, my forearm was able to stop the majority of the fireball as I was escaping on the tail end of the concussive force of the tank exploding into me. As I was hit with the entire force of the metal and rust fragmentation I was also splashed with gasoline and remained on fire. As the doctors have already asked, are you sure that you didn't black out from the force? I keep replying, I wanted to, but I didn't really have time to fall asleep while I was on fire. I immediately had to focused on putting fires out that were still on my body, tearing off clothing and extinguishing open flames that were still on me. This was successful after a considerable amount of damage to my arms and abdominal region both through bruising, shrapnel, and burns.

I obtained a ride from a family member to the nearest walk-in clinic and asked if they were equipped to handle the damage that has occurred to me as it was becoming pretty critical at this point. I needed immediate x-rays to see if my left ribs pierced my lungs, because I was having problems breathing and the amount of visible trauma that had occurred to that general area was pretty visible. They were unable to handle any of the care except to wrap me up. They contacted an ambulance to get me to the nearest hospital. Their surgeon was not equipped to address the damage to my left arm. I received a tetanus shot and a vallium shot and eventually an iv which I refused for sometime. I had to get over it, to get treated.

I was taken by ambulance and arrived at one of Michigan's Burn Centers for them to begin working on me. Each day has been a new set of issues associated with the blast, but it looks like I am finally on my last full day at the Hospital. I will be checking out tomorrow after I am cleared by a neurologist and an ear nose and throat specialist regarding some equilibrium and migraine issues. The bottom line is, I have alot of work to do, and I don't have time to lay down and die. We all have alot of work to do, so let's get it done!
