My Children Want to be FREE

I am so tired of the repression that masquerades as NORMAL here in Backwoods, Country-F PA! I know it's elsewhere too...but I'm tired of being oppressed, repressed, and I'm tired of having to fight and losing every fight for myself and my children.

I'm tired of going to court, and I refuse to pay any more attorney's for my personal court cases which seem to show no end in sight, also for no damn good reason.

So far I've won one...and that was by letting my son go. Let's hope by continuing to stand up against our oppressors there will be more wins in my future! I do not want my children to suffer as I did.

My ex has been dragging me to court for over a year now, seeking custody of my children for no good reason but control, and now seeking to censor my art and DDB photos and videos that contain my daughter, even though she loves being in my art and on videos.

He currently has my daughter because I refused to go back to court with him.

He has already lost my son because of it, I set him free of the pain here to live with his father in California. We will not be controlled! Brynnan and Rayne have clearly stated their wants and needs, yet he does not listen. No man has the right to control his child or his wife. My children deserve, want, and need their own freedom of expression.

I will continue to fight for them to have that right above all.

Here's to FREEDOM!

Registration Opens for Chain Off 2008: Unchain Our World, Plus, Please Sponsor Me!

Chain Off has been held annually around the 4th of July since 2003, highlighting the reality that while Americans are celebrating their own freedom, there are tens of thousands of Man's Best Friends in every state who are still not free: America's chained and penned dogs. These dogs are found in backyards stretching from Delaware to Alaska, from Maine to Hawaii, all throughout the provinces of Canada, and in countries around the world.

Chain Off has evolved from one woman chaining herself to a doghouse in 2004 for 33 hours, to108 people chaining themselves in 36 states and Canada during last year's 2007 Chain Off to raise awareness for chained dogs.

This year help us blow that 108 total out of the water by chaining yourself in your own backyard, your neighborhood, a local park, or with us in Chicago! Join up 'in packs' to make a local event of it, or take it low-key in a one-woman or one-man show in your own backyard. However it works for you, it's ok by us! We've got more excitement than ever, with a large event in Chicago where activists will be chained, and new ways to fundraise in groups or on your own. We'd like to see 200 people, and at least one from EVERY SINGLE STATE, living chained to doghouses sometime during the week from June 27th through July 7th. We can do it!

This is also our biggest fundraising event of the year, last year raising over $20,000 for our work with chained and penned dogs. $20,000? Let's blow that out of the water this year too, with a goal of $60,000 raised during Chain Off! Be part of it! You can be a sponsor, exhibitor, chain yourself, or just donate and cheer from the sidelines. You can fundraise even if you're not going to live chained to the doghouse...join a fundraising 'team' near you, start your own fundraising page, and make it happen.

Please sponsor me for Chain Off! I'm trying to raise $3000.00 for our work!
