- On the 6AM morning news a few days ago, I groggily heard the anchor saying
- that there is a vicious child support bill now headed through the
- Massachusetts legislature? Or soon? (I said I was groggy ...) Does anyone
- know what this is or how I can find out, so I can get in contact with my
- local rep and senator, and chairpeople of the right committees, etc.?
-
- I hereby propose myself to perform activities on behalf of the Child Support
- Alliance of Massachusetts. I don't have a lot of time, but I can't stand
- by idly any longer, wishing things would change. I've got to do something.
- Nothing is ever going to change unless I (and any other MA [un]fortunates)
- get out there and start writing, calling, and speaking to the people who
- are responsible for this stuff.
-
- And I'd call it Child Support Alliance over Child Supporters Alliance solely
- because it aides *our* side by obfuscating the fact that the group is for (I
- assume) normal and realistic levels of support. By calling it Child
- Supporters Alliance it is clear where we sit -- on the side of the
- supporters. Never show your hand until you must, right?

- (Now for the really important question: is that pronounced s-zam, or just
- zam??)
