June 2004 Dear Colleagues, I am forwarding this on behalf of the California Protective Parents Association. Warmly, Ellen Lacter, Ph.D. http://truthbeknown2000.tripod.com/Truthbeknown2000/ Dear Friends, We have a unique opportunity to assist a group of young people to present at an international conference in September. We are asking for your help with a tax deductible donation to fund their trip. Thank you, Connie Valentine THE COURAGEOUS KIDS NETWORK http://www.courageouskids.net WHO ARE WE? We are young people who were taken away from our safe, loving mothers by family courts when we were young. The judges refused to speak to us when we tried to tell them how our fathers had abused our mothers and us. Instead, the judges put us in the custody of our abusers. We finally got old enough to run away from our fathers' miserable homes and fought hard to live with our moms. Our childhood was taken away from us and our lives have been destroyed. WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW? We are telling the world about these civil and human rights violations. We are asking for donations of any amount to help us travel to San Diego to be the keynote presenters for the Ninth International Family Violence Conference on September 20, 2004. Please assist us by sending a check made out to: CPPA P.O. Box 15284 Sacramento, CA USA 95851-0284 CPPA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible. Please call 530-753-0807 or write to cppa001@aol.com if you have any questions.
