Big Island Treasure

The good news is that EJF Director Bob Alvarez got out of jail yesterday, three days early. The bad news is he was in there for sending an email to his ex-wife trying to settle the divorce, plus he committed the heinous crime of  helping his two little boys send her a mother’s day card, which violated the restraining order. Of course she got the restraining order so her boyfriend could move in and to kick him out of his own home, an old story by now to the EJF and its members. We hope to get his story published soon.

On Monday I copied EJF members on some correspondence with one Judy Dildy regarding the conviction of a Maryland politician, Ruthann Aron, to illustrate the level of (un)intelligence we are constantly forced to deal with, not only those with can’t understand normal thinking syndrome, but politicians as well. I hope that exchange helped illustrate the magnitude of the task we face because many of you seem to think the pace of reform is much too slow. Unfortunately, Ms. Dildy and her ilk currently hold sway among many women and virtually all politicians.

However, our work is having an impact, and the following article by noted conservative Phyllis Schalfly reflects that. Note that the EJF is a 501(c)(3) public non-profit charity (that’s why your contributions are tax deductible) and, by law, cannot lobby. Therefore, our approach is to forward our educational information and research to groups like RADAR and True Equality Network, who can lobby. Note that without the research there is nothing to lobby with to prove that changes must be made. That is why the EJF needs your financial support and volunteer efforts.
