THEY SAY TO BE PATIENT. WHAT YOU MUST NOT BE IS PATIENT --- NO MATTER HOW OFTEN YOU ARE TOLD TO PLEASE BE PATIENT, WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN.. REMEMBER THAT PATIENCE HAS NEVER MOVED A BUREAUCRACY. ONLY IMPATIENCE CAN!

You must not accept the old excuses: "There isn't any money for that"; "We need more time"; "We've made a lot of progress, but..."

There is never going to be any money unless you demand it! What tax dollars are spent for depends upon what taxpayers demand and how loudly and persistently they demand it. Whispering while everyone else is shouting guarantees that your voice will be lost in the uproar. Caring is power. Sharing is power. Parents working together is power. Join us!

You can form a local chapter of Mothers From Hell². Mail us your request along with the affiliation fee of $30 ($25 per year thereafter). Send it to us at PO Box 19, German Valley, IL 61039. (You can also direct questions to Beth Randall, our president, at beth@mothersfromhell2.org.)

In return, you will receive a start-up packet that includes forms and releases, information on how to start a local group including ideas on recruitment, funding, activities, and publicity.

Perks include listings on the Mothers From Hell² website and an annual mention in The Brimstone Bulletin (both good ways to find new members) and a Mothers From Hell² bumper sticker. Welcome to our mother love!
