Faxes for Fathers(SM)

by Sean H. Gralton

The Massachusetts Men's Political Caucus (MMPC) needs your support in our fight. The MMPC believes that society should allow and encourage men to take their roles as fathers seriously. Unfortunately, many men who try to be loving, active fathers are alienated from their own children through outdated divorce and custody laws. Through our educational and legislative campaigns, the MMPC is working to stop the courts from throwing away men who want to be real fathers.

The centerpieces of our effort are nationwide "Postcards for Papa"(SM) and "Faxes for Fathers"(SM) campaigns, set to culminate on this Fathers Day. These postcards and faxes will be collected and presented to President Clinton on June 18, to show him that the American people greatly value our dads. Send the message to Washington that we will no longer take our dads for granted.

In order for our campaign to work, we need your help. To get involved, follow the enclosed instructions and send us your "Postcard for Papa" and "Faxes for Fathers." They will be an important voice among the thousands we hope to collect. It's simple, easy, exciting, effective, and everyone wins. With your help, we can change the way we view fatherhood in America. If we are successful, our grandchildren will be thanking us for what we have done. If we are not, many of you may never know your grandchildren. And that would be tragic for all of us.

Postcards

Address the front of a standard sized postcard to: Postcards for Papa, P.O. Box 15311, Kenmore Station, Boston, MA 02215. Put your return address in the upper left hand corner. If it's not a pre-paid Post Office card, don't forget to stick on a 20 cent stamp.
On the back, tell why your dad (or granddad) is important to you. Feel free to write a short anecdote. If your father is no longer around, say why you miss him. Remember, quantity is not as important as quality. A single heartfelt line is worth as much as filling the whole card.
Sign your name. If you want, add your group affiliation (the more cards a particular group sends, the more clout it shows). If you want your words considered for publication, jot down your phone number (home or work). Finally, drop the finished product in the nearest mailbox.

Faxes

Send your "Faxes for Fathers" to: 617-232-1542.
