My worst nightmare has come true. Please go to her post and read her story. I think we can unite to help Joe and his grandmom. I have contacted my congressman to speak to hers to find help. If each of us contacts our congressman and/or senator perhaps we can get something happening. This will also help them see the strength we have to fight for our grandchildren. Please use email so we can forward when necessary. Also, give them a brief description of why you are involved. Perhaps we can raise our voices enough to help Joe and other grandchildren.

I just copied and pasted the blog to the letter I sent to my Rep. That way it was in his face and he didnt have to go somewhere else and read it. "
