NOW Launches Counterattack Against FaFNY, Sackson Horde
Following is part of Glenn Sacks' April 12, 2006 newsletter. It calls for action on the NYS Shared Parenting Bill, so I though it was too important not to post, even though many MANN regulars get his newsletter.
In response
to over 7,000 calls and letters to the New York
Assembly Committee on Children & Families in
support of A330, the
New York Shared Parenting Bill, the New
York State Chapter of the National Organization
for Women and
Stop Family Violence
have launched a counterattack.

In both cases, it's the usual feminist
hysterics about savage males and innocent, saintly,
victimized females.
As during
our
Campaign Against PBS's Father-Bashing Breaking
the Silence, NOW is
not able to match our numbers. However,
their counterattack is still problematic. This
is because the Assembly committee members began
blocking emails from our supporters after last
week's wave, and we stopped faxing the committee
members two weeks
ago at their
request. I don't blame them--staffers told our activists
that the deluge prevented them from being able to get
any work done.
However, the
result is that at this point the committee members are
pretty much just hearing from feminist opponents of
A330, even though we have far more supporters. As a
remedy, I suggest you call the committee members yourselves
and send them faxes and emails independently. These
aren't blocked and will get through. To call, fax, and

A330,
the New York Shared Parenting Bill, is sponsored by
the Coalition of Fathers
and Families New York, the New York affiliate of
the
American Coalition for Fathers & Children. To learn
more about the bill, see my co-authored column
Shared Parenting Bill Would Help New York's Children
of Divorce (Albany Times Union, 3/28/06)
and NOW president Marcia Pappas' Joint custody bill not in child's interest.
