After peacefully campaigning for three years to ensure children get to see their fathers, we condemn any individual who planned this appalling outrage which is anathema to our campaign. |
I have three young boys myself and couldn't think of anything more traumatic for Mr. Blair, his family and his son than what is reported in this morning's Sun newspaper. |
I'm proud of the work we've done, but if we're going down this road with extremist elements, then it's come to an end. |
In the process of planning this event, it became clear that we had to do more than get them in the street and make noise. It's going to be a missed opportunity if we don't do that. |
My sister just graduated from school and is going to become a teacher, and she can't afford to live in the town she grew up in. A lot of my friends are in the same situation. |
That was really not the intention. Because we had done so well with mobilizing huge numbers for April 9, we didn't feel we needed a huge turnout. What we really wanted to do was provide an opportunity for folks to keep the momentum going forward. |
Three years after starting the organization, we're going to cease all operations and bring the campaign to a close. |
We are about reuniting children with their fathers, not taking them away. |
We were aware that there were more extremist elements and we acted within our organization to clean the undesirable element out. |
We were having a hell of a time getting a ship we could use with the right look. |
We were looking for an old square-rigger. There were a couple of other ships around, but nothing of that caliber. It worked out great. |
