We printed up business cards advertising savemyboys.com, and handed them out to several individuals that were present at an educational meeting for my brothers yesterday afternoon. My mother’s ex-husband (my brothers’ father) also took a handful of the business cards, and will be handing them out and printing up additional copies.
We have also contacted all of the local and regional media outlets that we can think of. In addition, we have touched base with those who oversee Lancaster County’s Children & Youth, as well as the commissioners of Lancaster, the mayor, and the governor of Pennsylvania. Very early Friday morning my mother sent a long email to Congressman Joe Pitts. (A hit from Harrisburg, PA came in yesterday afternoon; hopefully it’s from Pitts and he will be able to somehow help us!) I fired off an email to the district attorney, and inn a few minutes I am going to look up the contact information for our state representatives and local legislators.
Janet created a Facebook group, and I posted a MySpace bulletin. Several bloggers have written blog posts and linked to savemyboys.com, and several others are posting banners (you can find them here).
savemyboys.com has been live for less than 48 hours, and already we have received over 1,100 unique hits!
Please, keep blogging, keep linking, keep promoting. There is strength in numbers, and you never know who may read this blog and what they may be able to do for us!
I saved a banner and I’m going to add it to my site.
I’ll be glad to help anyway I can. Just let me know.
I save the banner and used it too and I may distribute it around my adoption groups if you don’t mind. Most of them are adoption from international countries, but we are all for the children and have most been there done that with foster care and washed our hands of it.
You guys asked me once why I wanted to go international and not help the kids in this country, you’re seeing it first hand. Although, glutton that I am wants to foster and adopt from foster care again. You can’t help but want to help these kids.
I had a thought when you talked about handing out business cards. Right now is the time when a lot of fall festivals are going on. I’d love to see you hand out business cards or flyers at one of them talk about mass amounts of your regular every day folk seeing what is going on!
I am going to save a banner and add it to my site as soon as I update, I posted this link on many message boards as well. If there are any other ways I can help let me know.
I wish you and your family luck.
The banner is at the top of my website and clicking on it send you here.
Oh, I also twittered about it the other day.
Hopped over after reading Jan Mamabok Killam’s post regarding your plight. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, hope everything will get sorted out in your favor.
Okay I just found this about myspace. Glad you have one. I’ll be grabbing a banner as well. My myspace is http://www.myspace.com/allmommytalk
