Today, I'm inviting each of you to be co-founders of the Purple Heart for Families foundation. There are no dues, no fees, no obligations. We will all be equal partners.
Our purpose is to join in one voice to make a difference in the world of Femalely court. Our message will be one of love and kindness, and we will shine light upon the courts and custodial parents who harm our children with hateful behavior. We will win.
There are already 6000 Purple Heart Buttons in circulation all over the world...and on the chests of people from Maine Men, F.A.C.T., NCFC, C.O.P.S., NCFM and dozens of other active groups. The Purple Heart Foundation will work in concert with all other groups since most of us belong to some of those Fathers/Family/Men's groups.
There are 430 Purple Hearts on the old Purple Heart House today. 430 days since I've seen my beloved son, Christopher Robin, Jr.
Purple Heart Stamps
Some of you have received the first batch of those incredible Purple Heart Stampers. Lynn at Hollywood Rubber stamp convinced me that the self-stampers were far better for us....and would have been about $10. more but she was impressed with our passion and message.
The regular stamps you use with stamp pad are $18. total including postage. You can talk to Lynn about other products for our movement at 213-463-3111. Or email me and I'll get them out to you within a couple days.
She gave us 25% off and a little more so the self-inking stampers go for $23. including tax (with postage and package ..$25. bucks total) and you can make several thousand stamps before you even have to re-ink. All you need is a little bottle of stamp pad ink if it seems to run dry. Make sure you read the directions that came along with the stamper. Only Stamp Pad ink will do. You can find purple or grape at the stationary store.
The stickers are gorgeous but we only get 200 of them for the same price of the stamp. After investing in all those stickers, I'm learning, but it is always fun to get letters with those beautiful hearts.
You can also share the stamp with fellow activists and get a box of 500 envelopes at the discount store and stamp them all in advance and pass them out. Spread the word to any others who may wish to order stampers. The price will always be the same now whether we order one or 10 since they have the artwork and can do them within a day or two. I'm stamping every envelope in sight including the gas bill, phone bill, etc.
Our postmen and women just love the Purple Heart concept. It makes the mail prettier...and they all agree that Kids Need Fathers. They come by on their breaks to read your stories on the wall and I give them Purple Heart Buttons. It lightens up their day to see so much love at one house.
The power of a symbol
The Purple Heart symbolizes what we stand for: love and family.
The Purple Hearts Foundation is children-family-focused. Kids need fathers and all the rest of the family that they are alienated from. We will spread the message that love is what's missing from the child's life and they need love more than anything so they don't grow up with that same hateful, confrontational attitude.
If we have 1000 co-founders of the Purple Heart Foundation, that will be a thousand of us preaching the message of love and kindness for our children and extended families. How can judges and custodial parents ever deny that we are here for good!
Purple Hearts were founded in 1782 as a decoration to those heroes wounded in action against the enemy. We will make our Purple Hearts a peace offering to the world.
Some day, we will see on the lapels of movie stars on award nights, along with purple ribbons for cancer, blue ribbons for free-speech, pink ribbons for breast cancer, red ribbons for AIDS ... our beautiful Purple Hearts will be there for children and their dads and extended families. Let's do it.
The Purple Heart Flag
by Albert E. Whale
One problem with the Father's Rights Movement is that there is no single organization or image for all of us to relate to. Of course that's my opinion. Until now, that is.
Now there is a Flag for us all.
With Christopher Robin's permission I am currently accepting orders for the Purple Heart Flag, produced on 100% virgin nylon! That's right, nylon that's never before been printed on! (Of course I must admit that I don't think that there is such a thing as recycled Nylon, is there? But maybe there should be.)
I've done my best to keep the cost as low as possible: $15.00 plus $3.25 Shipping & Handling (Pennsylvania residents add sales tax). Please send your Checks & Money Orders to:
Albert E. Whale
Pittsburgh Purple Heart House
519 Nichols Road
Pittsburgh, PA 15237
The Purple Heart Flag fits on the traditional decorative house flagpole. We are currently shipping the Purple Heart Flag and two additional Purple Heart Signs on poster board stock. I have my flag up (I believe that Christopher mentioned that his will be up soon) - so you can see him in Pittsburgh! The two signs I already have inside my car, so that I can spread the word while I'm driving. I also have Purple Ribbons on my car and the trees in the front yard.
I know that I don't have that many Hearts up, but people are already stopping by to see the Purple Heart Flag, purple heart on the mailbox and the purple ribbons I have on the trees. We can spread the word very well with these flags, they've already been very well received. People are constantly slowing down to get a better look.
Use the Purple Heart flag to promote unity and a positive image of fatherhood. If you don't want to use a flag, fine. Just do something.
