You have done a fantastic job with the site on behalf of the Pro Se Litigant and I, for one, offer you my standing ovation!!! Thanks to your compassion and commitment to the cause, I have had the strength to push forward with my long-time dream; the launching of a grassroots advocacy organization on behalf of the Pro Se Litigant that I am calling P.U.L.S.E. (People United for Legal System Equality). I have prepared and am distributing a PLEDGE OF SOLIDARITY that I would like for you and your readers to review and consider signing. This instrument will, it is my hope, connect me with those in need of advocacy. I also hope that I can network with those who understand that good old fashioned PEOPLE POWER can still make a difference in this world. Please let me know how I can distribute this Pledge to your readers. My email is: . Thank you so very much and again, THANK YOU and BLESS YOU for all of your hard work with this blog.
