I might have some older 311 material that just happened to pop up on my hd (i
got a lot of HUGE zipfiles of many tabs), but unless i'm really bored, I
probably won't post 'em any time soon.  I have to find 'em first.  Don't like
311 too much...
I /know/ I don't have any songs from Cryptic Writings (megadeath)...and I
don't even know if I have any iron maiden. =)
I'll look, and then i'll tell you what i've got.

Sacramento, California. Our chapter will be in Martinez, (home of Joe
DiMaggio in his younger years, and home of the famous Martini - it was
created here). Other than that, no one knows Martinez exists. We are about
30 miles north northeast of Oakland and about 40 miles from San Francisco.

Thank you so much. It is wonderful to know that even in the face of
adversity we can pull together and draw strength from each other. Too many
people give up because they don't know what else they can do, but those
S.O.B.'s have my little girl and I WANT HER BACK! Maybe they figure that
because I already have 7 kids I won't miss just one - well, they are wrong.
I want my daughter back, and I WILL NEVER REST UNTIL I HAVE HER HOME WHERE
SHE BELONGS! Apparently they didn't believe me when I told them that, but
too bad, it won't be long before they start to realize that I meant what I
said. I will not go away, and I will not be passive. I will be VOCAL!
AND I AM SO GLAD YOU WON!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS ENCOURAGING, VERY ENCOURAGING!
THANK YOU!

assistant: Well, <G>, back in Mississippi.  That was some first leg of the trip.
Ended up driving in snow from DC, through Pittsburgh, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Kansas and all the way back to Memphis.  Not enough to be
pretty; just enough to make driving slow and dangerous.   Looking
forward to some of the California weather.  Should be headed that way in
about a week.  Just long enough to get on top of things back here.
Fantastic.  Like I told you on the phone, I saw it and you came to mind
right away.  It's gotta mean something to your situation.
Hope the sunshine hangs around a little while.  I've seen enough messy
weather for a while.
Well, you will always find a few against you no matter what happens.
Thanks God though it does not represent the majority.
Yea, the Mondale Act sure needs some revision.  Hopefully, our lawmakers
will comprehend the problems caused under the act as it currently
stands.  It gives a prosecutor, basically, total immunity to witch hunt
and destroy lives with almost no liability.  That needs to change
drastically.  If they are no longer immune for their actions, they would
look more carefully before jumping in with both feet.
Well, hope this finds you and your wife well; at least as well as can be
expected under the circumstances.  You all are in our prayers.
Hope to be seeing you in person real soon.

assistant: Valery,
   I'll be more than happy to send the copies to you, and I trust you'll
share them with others in your situation.  BTW, I fully intend to sue
again, because I found new evidence to prove my case, and I THINK I can
break the qualified immunity.  Also, I've come to thoroughly enjoy the
task of putting bureuacrats in their place, so I'm now taking paralegal
studies so I can get paid for giving myself pleasure of this sort. <G>
   Give me a week or so to send you that package; things are a little
crazy right now, but I've got you covered.  Also. I'll write a note
explaining just how to proceed, so you don't get lost.  (Also, since the
original suit was a group thing, I have to get consent from the other
group members who were actually named as plaintiffs.  Anyone that
doesn't give consent, I'll just white out their names.)
   Keep up the fight, Val.  I and many others are praying for you.

assistant: Allen, did you get my letter? Things here are just about the same. Still
waiting on the lawyers. Even though the charges on me were dropped some of
the people I know are still suspicious, but I hope they will soon drop their
suspicions and treat me like a normal person. I hate the paranoia that people
have in this matter. It makes me mad that some people will still treat me as
if I did it. It is hard trying to rebuild my life after what has happened to
me.  It is time for people to grow up and get a brain. The stupidity of some
people about child abuse gets to me. I sometimes feel like getting in a hole
and staying there until people learn.
    My brother has three children. He is going to school to get a better job.
I help him and the his children when I can. I sometimes help a man that runs
a Wholesale House.   About every week I will get my two nieces some things
for their barbie dolls and my nephew some baseball cards.     I miss my
children very much and it hurts to not be able to see my daughter, to hold my
daughter, or to love her. I sent my daughter a valentine card and a heart
shaped box of candy. My son took it to her. I am glad my brother trusts me
with his children.                       Have you sent me a copy of your
book, and have you sent the report on the trial in Penn? If not, I am looking
forward to the report and the book.

assistant: Just thought I'd let you know the latest.  Frank finally managed to get an
appointment to see his attorney on Saturday next, found out that the DA set
a TRIAL date (SOP in these cases, where the plea bargain hasn't been done,
according to the lawyer), for LAST Friday, and no one bothered to let Frank
know.  Luckily, nothing came of it, and no warrant was issued when he didn't
show up.  Thing is, the Probation people STILL don't have their paperwork
on the judge's desk-and this is now four months after they said it would
be done in two weeks!  Well, Frank told them to stuff the plea bargain, and
insisted on seeing the lawyer.  We can't afford another one, could barely
afford this one.  He's going to find out exactly what is going on and let him
know that we're going to have to move from the local area soon, and need this
resolved so Frank doesn't have to come back up here at the drop of a hat-as
well as return every Friday to show his face at the Bond Company-who weren't
informed about the court date either!
This is getting crazier and crazier.  I'll let you know what happens on
Saturday.

No, have not sent the book as it is basically being re-written.  I had
to add specific chapters as to exactly what we could prove as far as the
DA, Social Services, the psychologist and the CASA representative go in
order for experts to provide specifics as to a plan of action.  Needless
to say, part of that included adding the transcript of the
psychologist's testimony along with transcripts of other taped
interviews we conducted.  It will take us at least a week to complete
that portion, then I'm headed to Kansas, Colorado, Arizona, California
and Washington State, so needless to say, have not had time to breath.
Will send the complaint when I send the book; following the re-write and
having it printed a second time, but may be about a month and a half.

I guess they could both be incompetent.  In either case it is an amazing
