Volunteer Welcome Letter
Dear CPR Members and Interested Family Law Reform Activists:
It is time to take our
movement to the next level!
Incredible momentum is being
built through all key areas: legislative, judicial, agency, and the media. Major
progress is being seen in the family law reform movement both at the local and national level. CPR is being
recognized by national leaders as one of the premier organizations to watch
across the country. As compared to other family law reform groups, CPR is known
to have stronger, more meaningful, more professional, and more consistent
activity and educational projects being completed than any where else in the
nation.
WhatŐs Needed!
We are at a critical juncture in our history as an organization and movement to rise to meet this
historical challenge. To fulfill this mission of family law reform, we
need more volunteers. We need you. Make no
mistake about it, this will require a great amount of commitment, time, and
energy from each of us.
We are on the cusp
of the movement becoming a truly mass movement.
Accordingly, you are afforded a rare opportunity to have an
actual place in history by being a committee chair or committee team
member now.
Get Active - Be a Hero for
Your Kids!
Also, take heart in the fact
that you are participating in a historical movement. You have the
very real chance of playing a critical role in this movement and, in that,
perhaps have the only or greatest opportunity for you to be HERO for your
child(ren) until your parenthood is restored. Think of the pride
your child will have in knowing that you were integral in liberating their
generation from this destructive oppression!
Get Motivated – Make
a Difference!
We need your help. Become
part of the CPR inner circle by volunteering. Put your interests and expertise to use with
volunteer activities we know youŐll enjoy. There is something for you to do to
help be a part of this historical change.
If you have experienced the
destructive nature of family court, been stripped of custody and meaningful
time, and experienced limited access without just cause, itŐs time to stand up
for what is right, get involved and help change the system!
If you are a concerned family
member or friend (second spouse, grandparent, cousin, uncle, aunt, etc.) who
sees the current family court outcomes as something that needs to get changed,
itŐs time to stand up for what it right, get involved and help change the
system!
If you are a grown
child victim of family court, this is your chance to have an impact and help
change the way family court makes decisions.
Do Good for Children!
Take heart in the good you
are doing for your children to not only restore your relationship with them as a full and equal parent, but preventing
them from becoming adult victims of family court. If we make change, your
grandchildren will be protected from being subjected to the same losses your
children have suffered; that is, being robbed of one fit loving parent, and
unwarranted government intrusion that hurts rather than helps.
Ultimately, CPR hopes to be a
leading participant in the post NCP-CP system in terms of policy development
and developing effective institutions to deal with the individual and
societal trauma suffered by NCP's, their children, and their relationships.
So, not only are all volunteers that we can get needed, but so are all aware of
the various perspectives of the damage caused by the NCP system needed to make
our movement as comprehensive as possible.
We canŐt do it without
you! And you benefit!
Every day sooner we move to
this level is a day sooner that your parenthood will be restored...
literally! Do you want to be a full parent by next year or the year
after? If so, then let's take CPR to the next level together and become the
political force that the righteousness we possess demands! At this
point, the completion date of our mission is determined by the level of
involvement that CPR is able to display in all areas
of the reform movement. So, have it clear in your mind that your immediate
commitment will result in you having your relationship with your
child(ren) restored sooner than later. We
stand 100% on the side of righteousness. Together as an organization, we
can present that clearly, boldly, and forcibly.
Involvement equals well-being
and empowerment!
Another factor to consider is
actually selfish. As a member of CPR's Inner Circle, you will feel
empowered because you are actually fighting the forces of oppression and
destruction. Furthermore, you will find
an even greater level of shared experience and affinity than you do at our
monthly meetings. From personal experience I can state with complete
honesty that the level of sanity I feel in this horror is directly proportional
to the level of involvement I have with CPR. Not
only does CPR provide hope, but affirmation to
my pain and to my vision of what is right and just for my child. If you
find this evil too great to deal with, I encourage you to consider that it is
actually through involvement that the "damaged goods" that each of us
is as an NCP can actually be reversed! I truly find my sanity to be
directly proportional to the level at which I am involved.
Lastly, one of the many
devastating things that happens in the process of becoming an NCP is not only
the lowering of the father's mental health and capabilities of functioning as
effectively as before the onset of the victimization, but also tangible
functioning as a successful person in our society. Effective
involvement in this historical organization will afford each of us the chance
of gaining a glowing letter of recommendation to help alleviate some of that
tangible damage as we move forward as individuals and parents. This
could also prove invaluable in your custody battle.
You have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by getting involved at this critical juncture in history
with the organization that WILL change the system in Minnesota and provide the
template for organizations throughout the remaining 49 states.
While the tendency for the
NCP is to alternate between emotional implosive retreating
isolationism and explosive enragement, sharing this effort with
others who relate to the degradation, persecution, destruction, and pain
within the context of the power of CPR, its positiveness, and its complete
righteousness, can truly be uplifting, restoring, and empowering.
It is up to each one of us,
and I encourage you to consider that the resolution to the horror in your
individual life is to not "crawl under a rock and wait," but to stand
together as powerfully as possible. Increased involvement in CPR IS your
way to improve your existing position!
With great respect for your
pain, and for a commitment to its elimination, and a desire to share hope with
you,
Chad Barthelemy
Acting Volunteer Coordinator
