We're going monthly!Just as an experiment for the summer, we're going to publish the DLJ monthly. Each issue will appear on the first of the month. I know, right on the heels of MANN going on hiatus, it may seem like I'm jumping ship. This is not the case! I'm taking the message of the movement offline and into the real world, for one thing, and also helping some brand-new cyberMan authors into cyberspace. These are exciting times for everybody! With a monthly, we can offer more features, and more in-depth coverage of the issues. This month, for example, kicks off our new Book Review Section. Next month our special Father's Day issue will feature essays by and about fathers, as well as all the information we can gather on Father's Day events worldwide. (see below for more details on both Book Reviews and the Father's Day issue.) As always, the groups, orgs, and PEOPLE are of major interest here at the DLJ. So if you've got news items relating to your org, or someone doing something notable that everyone needs to know about, please feel free to post it on the bulletin board at our brother site, cyberManbooks.com http://www.cybermanbooks.com/cgi-bin/board/ Raymond and I will keep an eye on it as well. There will be a link to the BBS on the front page of the DLJ so our online readers (now in 35 countries) will know where to look for updates on what we're all doing. Rev. Mackay's Prayer Circle will continue to accept requests and pray for men in crisis everywhere. http://www.desetlightjournal.com/prayercircle.htmlWe will continue to actively seek out new writers and essays for the Guest Editorials and Heart-Man Chronicles. Tell us your story; express your opinion we want your voices heard around the world!Love&Light;Trudy W. Schuett~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!
Gentlemen,If you take no other action for men's rights this year, at least read this...Some of you may have heard of the California Constitutional Challenge, now known as the Legends Father's Rights Legal Aid Society. This is a legal movement that teaches men through legal means exactly how to assert their constitutional patriarchal rights. As such, it has the potential of ending feminism in family courts, and saving western civilization from sliding into otherwise-inevitable decay.Such decay is otherwise inevitable because we are losing the battle to feminists. Feminists ensure that men are enslaved and single-mother homes become the norm, and single-mother homes result in higher delinquency, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, Columbine-type shootings, and most of the other factors that are destroying our communities. DO YOU WANT TO HELP PREVENT THIS DESTRUCTION and reclaim your own authority as a loving patriarch? You can do it. The legal technology is NOW AVAILABLE in California, and by extrapolation can eventually apply to all common-law countries. Don't wait and see, because WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, IT WILL FAIL.Your donations are requested, large or small. You may know Richard (jigcho@webtv.net). What you may not know is that he works most of his day FOR US. WE WILL LOSE HIM and other good men like him without your donation; because they cannot afford to continue this work without financial support.Please send your online donation (using Visa, Mastercard, or checking account): https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=terence%40wildfern.net&item_name=Legal+Aid+Society Or mail your check to Terence Moore, 3600 Penn. Ave. #50, Fremont, CA 94536 USA. (Please write "Legal Aid Society" in the memo area of the check.)If that link didn't work for you, try this:http://groups.yahoo.com/group/manworth/I personally do not receive a penny of your donation. Instead, I have donated almost $400 to this so far, but I cannot finance it alone. Send what you can. Don't let your grandsons and mine down now. This may very well be the turning point, and our last best chance to save ourselves from the holocaust. Sincerely,Terence MooreManworth Moderatorterence@wildfern.net

AFTER>2001 SEEKS AD HELP
As most of you already know AFTER>2001 is working hard to change the way families are be destroyed by a corrupt system. CPS, Family Courts, etc. Well in order to compete with the efforts of other organizations like the NOW GANG we must get funding for a real fight. I have a contact John Spoke with the Washington Times an inside the Beltway Icon paper that is read by millions and millionaires that can write the kind of checks that will enable us to take the fight to these people. Here is the problem to run an ad for funding the upfront cost is going to be $1,800 for a week. Yes this is a request for help to raise the $1,800 to get things started but I know every father that has been denied access to their child knows the price we are already paying and not by choice and for most of us the money never gets to the kids, The State keeps most of it using excuse after excuse to not give it to the ones it is suppose to be for. So if you are tired of being a money machine for some system that is only interested in giving you the shaft then help us fight back. I am not asking for a lot but a few dollars from each will help make changes happen. If you can donate that few dollars you can do it on our web site by credit card. There is a donation section near the bottom of the main page, just use this link http://AFTER2001.net and thank you in advance for the help. For those that what to donate directly please send what you can to:
AFTER2001
PO Box 1131
Martinsburg, Wv. 25402
Please do a little and together we will see the changes that will help us all.
Wishing each of you the best life has to offer
Bud
P.S. Keep in mind that this is an effort to make changes that will help the kids and the families being destroyed every day. Last year 1,277,750 children were removed from their homes based on lies. And these DOJ numbers do NOT include the number denied a parent because of divorce. We must all realize unless we raise the money they will continue to destroy more and more lives.

A MATTER OF JUSTICE HOLDS NATIONWIDE DEMOS
From Mr. Jacob Roginsky:
Contact: Jacob Roginsky, Ph.D., President
A Matter of Justice Coalition, Tel. (toll free) (877) 669-5646

The Harsh Reality
Today the ordinary Americans are denied access to justice. The courts are lawless and intellectually dishonest. The legal profession demonstrates cavalier disregard for the rights of the American families, blatantly interfering in family affairs, breaking ties between the parents and children and causing both great pain and suffering. It has driven millions of hard-working honest people into financial ruin and emotional devastation. Many innocent people have lost freedom. Non-violent petty offenders often receive harsh sentences while most hard-core white collar criminals go unpunished.
Please Notice that on May 3, 2002, at 12:00 p.m., the coalition A Matter of Justice will hold four demonstrations:
in Manhattan's Foley Square Park;
at the 4th Fed. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va;
at the 6th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio and
at a branch of the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena, California.
We are rallying to protest the corruption in the legal system and the abuse of our Constitutional rights by judges, prosecutors, social workers and attorneys. We are protesting the lack of effective complaint mechanisms against those who violate our rights under the color of law. We demand a systemic reform of the legal system that would address these inequities. Amongst other, we seek the appointment of citizens' commissions to a) investigate the current state of affairs in the legal system, b) recommend remedial actions for the victims of abuse in the legal system and c) recommend measures to prevent further abuse of citizens by the legal system.

WEBSITE NEWS
http://www.malecontraceptives.org/activism/index.htm Just like it says, this site is about new research into contraceptives for men.
MDSA is the only organization in the world specializing in mother-daughter sexual abuse. We are also distinguished by the innovative online group experience we provide for survivors.
http://mdsasupport.homestead.com/
Strupper Enterprises has written a freeware program called DIVOREC
(DIVOrce RECords). This program is intended to assist you in
maintaining records after your divorce. One of the most important
things after a divorce is accurate record keeping, to insure that you
have yourself "covered" in the event of your ex-spouse attempting to
cause problems for you. DIVOREC allows you to keep ALL your divorce
related information in one place.
Please go to http://www.strupper-enterprises.com/

BOOK REVIEWS AT THE DLJ
To kick off this new feature, "The Ultimate Survival Guide for the Single Father," by Thomas Hoerner is reviewed by cyberManbooks author Bernard Chapin. The purpose of this section is to give exposure to our friends who've written new books, and are self-published or published by smaller houses. These kinds of books often have trouble finding publications willing to review them. We hope to give our fellow writers a better chance at a targeted market.
We will be happy to review either print or e-books. In exchange, all we ask is that you review someone else's book. Your review will appear with credit and information on your own book. We will publish as many reviews each month as we have completed. For more information, e-mail us at dsrlite@mindspring.com
The review section is at
