  Sister Maureen's Update on Delaware SB 29

Here's a recent e-mail from Sister Maureen Paul Turlish of New Castle, Delaware, updating us on the latest news about Delaware Senate Bill 29.

By the way, Delaware’s Separation Day was celebrated on Saturday, June 9, 2007 in historic New Castle, Delaware. Separation Day celebrates Delaware’s “separation” from the British Crown and the governance of the Penn Family in 1776. The event is sponsored by the State of Delaware through the Separation Day Committee.

Happy Separation Day 2007!

After reading the Delaware News Journal online this morning, where there are two more "letters" supporting Senate Bill 29, I added a long commentary on what untruths were writtten in this week's catholic newspaper, The Dialog.

Both the letters and commentary can be found at:

I went down to Old New Castle for my walk today because it's Separation Day.

While sitting waiting for the parade to begin, I looked around noticing all the families with children and remembered I still had about 300 flyers supporting Senate Bill 29 and our coalition, ChildVictimsVoice.com, still in the car.

I went to the car, found them and distributed them as far as they went. What an opportunity!

I said hello to both John Carney, the Lieutenant Governor, and Senator Dori Connor, who were both in the parade as well as U.S. Senator Thomas Carper, who tempered my enthusiasm by reminding me he was in Washington now.

I told them all that Tuesday, June 19 is THE date (afternoon probably, but no time yet) for the bill to go before the full house. It will really be a full court press, end run, final stretch or whatever sports metaphor you want to use.

I hope everyone remembers that both Senator Karen Peterson and Representative Deborah Hudson will both be on the Gerry Fulcher talk Show on Monday, June 11 at 3 p.m.

It can be listened to, live and online, at http://www.wdel.com

If you haven't added you name to the coalition website or left a comment or two, it isn't too late. Just go to www.childvictimsvoice.com

Again, Happy Separation Day.

Sister Maureen
