Before I say anything, I would like to thank @eco-alex for inspiring this idea. I've made flyers before, but it was Alex's post that suggested we use flyers that can be forwarded onto whoever we intend to target. Fantastic idea and one that had to be followed up.

Then all hell broke loose and Deborah Milazzo entered my life...

I have to stop and give thanks again, the response to my post about Deborah's tragic circumstances was heart-warming.
@familyprotection(The community), I salute you all. Thank you all.

Rightioooo, now that's all said and done it is time to get this party started!!

Deborah's story has occupied my mind and with the John Wedger's protest walk starting this Saturday, there is much to be done. I've been thinking how to approach my local MP, Anna Soubry, about Deborah's case. I have all the good intentions in the world, but at the end of the day, I am just one man. What also concerns me is how easily I have been brushed aside in the past. I've asked a few questions to various councilors and politicians in the past and all have been ignored. I've been so fed up with my local representatives, that I once resorted to organising a protest about foot-bridge closures at our local rail-crossings. My point is that the council class me as a, royal, pain-in-the-arse and I very much doubt that a letter from myself will have the desired effect. If this was about anything that I used to complain about, I would just move onto the next target and spray the next unsuspecting councilor with my buck-shot. However, this particular issue I now find myself involved in, demands a serious approach.

So how do I get Deborah's case in-front of one of the most out-spoken politicians in the midlands? More importantly, how do I do this in a way that can't be ignored and how the heck do I raise enough awareness in such a short space of time. Deborah has said that she needs to act, before her son is put up for adoption and I agree with her fears. This can not be allowed to happen and the only reason it is happening, is because nobody knows what is going on! - Nobody who lives in the mainstream that is - This is an insane reality when you consider how obvious it is, but we must remember that most are not accessing the evidence that is here @familyprotection. If they were then they would not be watching the BBC News anymore and they may even reconsider their next council-tax payment...

This has led me to a double-edged weapon of attack and I think you might just like it...

Side one(Indirect action - Educate the masses and raise awareness of @familyprotection)

On the flip-side(Direct action :) This should have a lot more effect! Our voice has just been amplified.

Printer is now running at full-throttle!!

As the stupid look on my face will tell you, I am very excited about delivering these around town.

I'm not sure if this will help Deborah but it has to be worth a shot.

Please let me know if you think the design can be improved(I know my punctuation is terrible so I expect to be corrected here) . It would be easy enough to do and I am just an amateur, so I don't mind any constructive criticism's if you have them. I am equipped with imagination but not software know-how. If anybody can help me with finding a good video editing tool, that would be appreciated. I am chomping at the bit, to make a promo video for @familyprotection and if there is any free software to help, then that would be cool. If not I have filmora on my laptop and I will just up-grade to pro-version.

Anyway, I hope this post get to you all in good health.

PTYAY

im really happy you are taking this idea forward! I think your flyer is great, and it really doesn't need to look overly professional.. its eye catching and really gets the message across.. Its great that all anyone has to do is pop a stamp on and send it.. im SURE if enough people do this that the local powers will realise people care and are demanding action.. Power in numbers should not be underestimated!

The only thing i would add is a place for people to put their full name and maybe address and signature.. so its clear that these are from different people..

id be happy to advise you with the video too.. are you on mac or PC? I have used iMovie on Mac and it is REALLY easy to use..

Very best of luck with this initiative!!

Thanks Alex and I will be buying £20 worth of stamps to put on to them(Wouldn't want 60p to stand in the way) I will add a space for personal details to be added. That is a good suggestion, thanks.
I am on P.C. and it is running windows10 and I'm a goon when it comes to utilizing it's software. I mainly just bash the keys like a chimp and go from there...

Oh wow very cool that u pre stamp it! Perhaps do that And leave a bunch of photocopied (cheap) and unstamped also somewhere relevant.. e.g cheap supermarket notice boards, family planning clinics, etc

What kind of movie r u thinking? Do u have footage? Perhaps i can help u edit if u have some base film?

Haha! We think alike, tram/train/bus-stations are my favourite places to put flyers. Glad I found out how to refill the ink cartridges :)

I'm not sure yet, a narrative usually floats into my head and I build on that. The idea is the easy bit, it is the editing I struggle with. It would be awesome if I could give you a rough copy of something and you can put some magic on it. Still need to have an idea of what software to use, any ideas for windows10 movie editor? I know Pootube has one but I would rather not.

ok, this one is great for beginners

download it here
https://filmora.wondershare.com/windows-movie-maker/windows-movie-maker-vs-live-movie-maker.html

maybe try it out and see how it goes.. IF you are struggling you can just upload what you have to youtube so i can grab it and help....

This is the one I have on my PC and I really like it. You have to put up with a water-mark until you upgrade. Thinks it's reasonable price for what you get. Just wasn't sure if there was a free movie editor that I had missed. Happy to use this software. I will be in touch, buddy.

This is awesome! I really admire how you have taken up this initiative! This seems like a great idea. I sure hope that you can persuade a number of people in your community to send them in, and that it is taken seriously at the receiving end.

It could really help stir things up for Deborah. I have had another email from her tonight and she isn't very optimistic about getting help from politicians, which is understandable. She is really pleased with the work we are doing and it sounds like she is busy in Scotland getting her community behind her. She sounds a very strong woman. I hope they get taken seriously too, that was why I stopped printing flyers as they didn't go anywhere else. After Alex mentioned this kind of thing in his post, it made perfect sense. Fingers crossed it works and thank you for the support. x

very nice and helpful. hopefully can be good results
thaks you.

Nice One Rebel Dan!

Shove it their faces! They can keep denying and brushing it all under the carpet but it will come and bite them in the butt one of these days

I like your style Danny Boy! I knew you would do us proud when I approached you and demanded that you join the cause.

It must be all those years of following the freeman movement!

Cheers Matey!

Edited: Oh bum! I keep forgetting to log out of the FP account!

//Mark.

Lol I do that with my @team-solutions profile.
Yes I reckon we were fated to meet buddy. lol your a freeman mate, I'm a lawful rebel ;) Same thing really, sod the titles! No, you won't regret having me on-board and I look forward to sharing an ale with you someday. Offer is still there to speak at event I want to organise...

This is a Good Project aimed at Bringing People together and to forster Family Protection rights and Priviledges . I would love to be a Part of it supposing i am any where near the Place. But not to worry i will encourage everyone Around to be a Part of it as it's a Very Good Community Project

Cheers bud, Loving the support for this. Thank you for sharing the message.

Good luck my friend. This is a great idea. The more people your mailings reach the better informed they will be. 🐓

Had a great response so far. It helps not to be coming from a political standpoint, folk are a lot more willing to take in whats on there. Thank you for your comment, really like it when a post people commenting.

This is so great Dan, really excited to see you so proactive, not surprised in the least though, as I can't imagine you would shy away from much. This is exactly what needs to start happening, people need to start getting out there, take to the streets. Thanks so much for doing this x

You know I enjoy stirring the pot ;) This is much more to me though. I find it sad that my own family are the hardest to convince(Crazy that I even use that word). Very frustrating when they give me suspicious reply's. You can see what I am doing is a just cause but they would rather trust the system that shafts them! Sorry. You have got me at a bad moment and no prizes for guessing why. On the plus side, I have been handing out the flyers and the response has been really good. Normally you watch them put it straight in their pocket but everyone has walked off reading. Fingers crossed this helps but I do worry that I may get myself into trouble. I've got a daughter and have to be wary. I would be a fool to preach this and not be prepared for it myself. Honestly don't think there is much danger but it is at the back of my mind. Will have to catch up with you on discord one day as I have something on my mind that I would like your advice with. Speak soon x

Oh I know how that feels, but you are on the right path and thats what matters, how can i talk to you on discord? steemitchat may be better you on there? or where on discord? x

Bloomin heck, I had forgotten about steemitchat as I had switched to discord. I will find you on there later and leave you a message. Nothing urgent, just need an outside opinion from someone I trust. Speak soon x

this is a great post. i appreciate your post... thanks for sharing.. up vote and resteemit done

Fantastic! Its been getting hard to read the stories for family protection and feel so helpless. So anything that could possibly have a positive impact is a joy to hear. Lets hope if people can start to make enough noise they won't be able to ignore it and quieten things down. The more people that see this the better.

Its all about numbers and apathy. As long as we have evidence of the truth, people will eventually listen. Thank you for the message. Peace bro!

I love it. I only have 1 suggestion and please do not take it the wrong way. Consider changing the word CAN NOT to WILL NOT. It has more of a powerful meaning and suggests that no matter what they throw at us we will continue. The words can not just are not as powerful. Otherwise I LOVE IT!!!!

Exactly the kind of advice I need, thank you I will edit it asap. Going to print a heap of them tonight and then it's Postman-pat time :)

Great to see someone wanting to take the next step and make flyers.
Probably a bit cluttered as they are now but just fine tune to the core message/ethos and a few logos. I'd offer to help but my skills are limited to MSPaint until I get a better computer.

Thank you and I will consider tidying it up a little. It can definitely be improved but all the info there is as stripped down as I could do it. Please go for it and design one as I would love this idea to catch on. We all have a local government rep or police station to address these to and every town has it's own issue that is equally as bad. Go for it and lets get @familyprotection on the map. Appreciate the input mate.

Promo is a great thing. It looks good. Remember to use power lines when you can. Emotional appeal can work. I like what I see. Thanks for taking the initiative. @article61

Thanks buddy. What are power lines? I blunder through anything to do with computers.

very nice and helpful. hopefully can be good results.
thank you.

a very good article, rich in information

I am sending much hugs and love Dan. This is so good, spread your wings buddy and remove the public's blindfolds. !!! Thank you

Rip it off like a plaster!! "This will only hurt for a moment...." ;) Back at you :)

Great !! Love to see the excitement on your face.. I am looking forward to the promo video:) Keep up the good work..

Thank you :)

this post has been re-steem by @big-whale thanks to @article61
and also your 15 day re-steem period has been expire thanks for using @big-whale

Good job friend

Cheers bud

Hi. There is nothing interesting about the article itself, but what you are asking about the social role that we must assume in society. In Venezuela, before this system of government, the family is between three and two. There is no food and if there is, it is expensive. Mothers are observed begging to be given even a bread. How can you orient yourself to the lack of basic necessities? I suggest you read my article about needs. https://steemit.com/spanish/@isacrist59/las-necesidades-del-hombre-vistas-por-un-modelo-fractal

I take it you are the person who was trolling me last time, with nonsense about socialism(I recognise you writing style and references). I see you have got yourself a new profile, just a shame that the attitude is the same... I'll leave your link alone, thank you. If this isn't who I think it is, then maybe you should approach people in a more positive manner when you want to promote your own work. No problem with folk putting a link in the comments box but This is as far as our interaction goes.

I will try to make edit promo video for family protection group.

friend I had not met with this publication, in principle I give you my thanks for such action, if each of us does something safe someone will help

I hope so too... Thank you for your support :)
