Dear Leadership,

I received your response to Mr. Don Russ request about my issue with recieving Statewide Mission annoucements. Apparently is has been stated that I "removed myself". Since I was registered until three very different e-mails addresses I find this extremely difficult to believe. Additionally, I am very computer literate and know how an unsubscribe button works.

My communciations with Leadership in the past have been to discuss issues with individuals within the organization that have treated either myself or others close to me with less than respect.

I would be interested, and an entitled by IRS regulations, to see the by-laws and constitution. Those documents should contain your membership requirements and I would be interested to see what I have done to be denied membership. I have stood on flag lines with the utmost respect for the deceased, I have refrained from negative talk about individuals I have had my differences with. I would encourage you to talk to Rob as I believe that I have been nothing short of professional, kind and coridal with Rob at each and every event.

I am the very PROUD mom of a Marine - the PROUD aunt of two SOLIDERS - my nephew and his wife - the PROUD aunt of an Airmen and a very PROUD wife of a Chief of Police. My family has lived and breathed civil service. My dad - a retired police officer - My uncle - a deceased police officer - My uncle - a Chicago Firemen - you get the idea. I started a Support Group for Families and Supporters of Military Personnel to help families deal with the pressures of military service.

I get the respect - I get the reverence and I get what is appropriate and what is not. The discussions we have had have all occurred via telephone and as adults. I have not engaged in Facebook disputes - I have not attacked Rob and I think that Rob would tell you that I was radio silent when the Facebook discussions about the mission was occuring. I hugged Rob that day and told him that I believed emotions got the best of BOTH of us and we parted ways.

I do not believe that my actions have in any way supported the decision of this Board to exclude me from membership.

Please forward your by-laws and constitution to my attention so I may understand what rule I have violated.

My sons and daughters fight a war everyday in their service to this country - and yes, every one of them is a son or daughter to me. I want to continue to stand proud and with respect and reverence holding a flag with some many other Americans that are there to protect these families. I am hopeful that this request will not totally exclude me from the group

I await your response and the receipt of the documents requested.

Sincerely

Deb

The only issue I am going to address here is your exclusion from the statewides. Since I am in charge of the email program and it was I that stated that you removed yourself then I should be the the one to provide you with the proof that you removed yourself.

I ran your last name in the program and only came up with one email address for you in the system which is: pyz87@comcast.net The following is the results that says you opted out on Feb 4, 2012 at 11:15 AM CDT I also just ran the email you are using for this email. There were no results shown for militarymom1089@comcast.net so this email address has never been in the system. This program preserves every email address that has been entered and if an individual removes themself we can not reactivate it! So even if you enter a new email address I could remove it but I can not block it from being re-entered. Below is the results showing your status in the email system.

If you would like a copy of our by-laws, please send me a request in writing and a stamped, self addressed manila envelope and I will be glad to send you a copy.

This was copied and pasted from the program itself.
