May 12 meeting with Swedish Social Services
to determine Domenic’s fate
—May 12th is looming! That is the day the Swedish Social Services board has rescheduled their meeting to where they are supposed to determine Domenic’s fate. If you’ve not emailed your letters to them, please do so ASAP. Go here: http://www.hslda.org/hs/international/Sweden/201005060.asp or if you want to send your email as a mass mailing rather than individually, use these addresses. We’ve confirmed they all work: gustaf.hoffstedt@gotland.se; kjboberg@hotmail.com; sonia.landin@gotland.se; lindvall.ola@telia.com; stora.vikers@telia.com; gunilla.wigren.dahlin@moderat.se; egil.lyngstad@telia.com; b-lindahl@swipnet.se; ann.gardell@telia.com; 2solbbrsj@tjelvar.org; rolle.o@hotmail.com; hamax@telia.com; lars.akerlund@tjelvar.org
—Since our last email, we’ve added 167 new members to the group. If you’ve not done so already, please take a moment to invite everyone you know to join Domenic’s group. Facebook has provided an extremely easy way to do this. Simply visit Domenic’s group and look to the left, just under his photo is a list where you will see an option to “Invite People to Join.” If you click on that link, a box will pop up with all your Facebook friends and from there it is very easy to shoot out the invitation to everyone. Additionally, at the bottom of the box, they provide a place for you to add the email addresses of friends and family who are not on Facebook.

—-And don’t forget, we have another avenue for those who do not want to join Facebook. Point those folks to the Friends of Domenic webpage using this link: http://friendsofdomenic.blogspot.com/ Be sure to read the Because They Loved… page on the new site.
Please keep pressing on in your efforts for Domenic
—-Please do not lose your fever for Domenic. Please continue to press on for him and know that efforts on Domenic’s behalf are efforts for the many other children who have been spirited away unjustly by Social Services.
Social Services
—-Additionally, please realize we have nothing against Social Services when they are serving children who are in desperate need. We stand against Social Services when it runs amok, as it has in Domenic’s case, and unfortunately in the case of too many others!
