cy, you r office can no longer terrorize us with your CRIMINAL AdA’s Suborn Perjury + Fraud-on -the- courts.
perjury is A Crime, NOT A TACTIC.
P E R J U R Y.
Our court system is a joke as they are often manipulated by malicious prosecutors like Anjelica Gregory who "Suborned Perjury" + like Brent Ferguson who committed "Fraud on the Court."
And why not? Our Supreme Court Justices themselves perjure, and the NY Court of Appeals over-looks irrefutable proof.
*Anjelica Gregory lost her job within days of a Suborn Perjury complaint was made public.
To our 37+ MILLION friends + supporters, AND our estimated 1MILLION new visitors + supporters each month,
Manhattan DA Suborns Perjury And Brooke LIED after a Disorderly Conduct was refused.
Cy Vance’s office opportunistically targeted a Sandy Hook First Responder for responding and manipulated actress/model Brooke into lying on stand.
*Ms. Shields is on record asking that NO CHARGES be filed, nor harm to come.

The Manhattan DA offered a Disordly Conduct over our work for Newtown after the Sandy Hook Massacre. Specifically the Hallmark Cards c0-sponsored tree trimming event held in Newtown on its first Anniversary.
Unlike the Manhattan DA, we would NOT perjure ourselves into accepting Sandy Hook as harassment.
The Manhattan DA acted on behalf of an individual who says in her paranoia, she holds onto a list of some 2000 people who she’s somehow made fearful by.
*One in particular was made out to be a stalker despite his being gay, offered up a list of 4boyfriends at the time, dozens of witnesses. and computer forensics that claim otherwise.
*Computer Forensics also proved that Ms. Shields was in fact a liar as it disproved her every word of testimony.
Without any bit of professionalism and a suspected high profile win, Cy Vance’s office acted without merit and recreated the past to fit their narrative Upon learning the Manhattan DA made a mistake, ADA Anjelica Gregory offered a slap on the wrist if we lied. When we refused, the Manhattan DA "Suborned Perjury" from Brooke Shields to manipulate the court by committing "Fraud on the Court." and committed the same crime to the New York Court of Appeals.
***WHEN ADA’s SUBORN PERJURY, COURT OF APPEALS IS RENDERED USELESS.

TY for visiting.
Our efforts have never been about us, but all about our answering the call asked upon an entire nation after the most horrific assault on our children.
There has been a lot of confusion about us, and therefore a constant need to defend has been warranted. While we have tried our best to understand the egregious criminal actions made against us by the Manhattan DA, Cy Vance in our opinion is nothing more than a thug opportunistically abusing his power in office.
That said, I’m not sure how long I have, but the time I do have is dedicated towards something better/bigger than ourselves. It’s also meant to serve as a constant reminder to my little boy who will undoubtedly be left behind.
Tbe message being that we cannot control what happens to us, but we can decide in which direction to proceed. Its also about when we cannot find peace within ourselves, we can always find peace in selflessly doing for others.
in 1986, I was struck and hit as a pedestrian by a drunk driver. As a result, I suffer a considerable TBI/traumatic brain injury. So, before I disappear permanently, there’s been an anxious determination of my working against the clock.
Our goal being a legacy of ensuring our nation’s children are better protected.
After Sandy Hook suffered on 12/14/12, on that day, I held my then 4year old in my arms and cried- I cried thinking of the 20 families that no longer had their child to hold and felt an overwhelming need to answer our nation’s call of kindness. I also understood that the tragedy went beyond the irresponsible gun laws of our greedy America, but that these horrors were also the result of the bullying and isolation so many of our youth’s needlessly feel.
We took on such a huge undertaking because we’re told that we all matter, and to be honest, believe we can all be the change we wish to seek.
The world needs to be better for our children, and we cannot sit idly by.
We can also not allow bully’s prevail- not even a Cy Vance and his criminal band of idiots!
ALL THIS BS, has been the result of our Sandy Hook first anniversary and our inviting actress Brooke Shields to attend. We knew her, her mother was friends with my dad, and Ms. Shields’ husband Chris Henchy was also the one to reconnect us back in 2002. In fact, Mr. Henchy dragged me across the room inhand to meet his more famous wife. Incidentally, they both hugged me and I returned with a “Rocky” like playful jab! Broole not only declined, but she was also skeptical about our legitimacy. Ms. Shields actually testified that Sandy Hook was about her, and not 26lives slaughtered! She didn’t want any charges, but she did responsibly begin a file should things get questionable. The Manhattan DA opportunistically saw an easy high profile win of harrasment by suggesting improprieties. NYPD’s 6th Precinct then looked up our car’s registration and saw that it was registered to a legitimate NY 501c3, but still chose to “create” harassment. Upon our defense, they maliciously “Stacked” charges to force a perjured plea. Simply put, we told the Manhattan DA to go fuck himself which then his office “Suborned Perjury” coaching actress/model Brooke Shields and her husband to commit perjury.
We’ve also spoke out with great success! When we were first assaulted by the NYPD, and falsely targeted we had 100,000+ followers/friends. We now have more than 37MILLION followers/friends.
Our medsage is this, we DEMAND Gun Reform to better protect our children. While we cannot always be there for our children, we can however ensure all safeties are in effect.

REMINDER!
The Last Walk Through is Oct. 24
Walk and Talk.
Learn about the new Community Center and Senior Center.
The town Accepted and Approved Sandy Hook CenTer has been surpassed in our absence (due to Manhattan District Attorney’s criminal behaviors of targeting Sandy Hook First Responders.).and has been re-imagined and replaced as the Newtown Community Center.
It does not honor the Sandy Hook 26.
It does not offer a place to heal.
It does not support the bereaved.
It does not act as an inspiration to achieve Gun Reform.
It does not do any thing to minimize bullying that is the precursor to all school violence.
Instead it has takan advantage of General Electric’s $25,000,000 generosity and instead of honoring the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy it honors Newtown and its elderly.
We will rectify that, and we will address the 26 family’s disapproving feeling of having been forgotten.
You are not forgotten.
In fact, the Sandy Hook 26 and their families will never be forgotten and will never be third or fourth in considerations. They will be honored premierely as we reinforce our commitment to Sandy Hook and our further commitment to building the forthcoming Sandy Hook CenTer.
In Solidarity,
‘the CenTer.

MENTOR
CRAIG ZADAN
15 April 1949 - 20 August 2018
We at the Sandy Hook CenTer, with profound sadness announce the passing of our dear friend Craig Zadan, who died Monday night of complications following shoulder replacement surgery. On behalf of his life partner, Elwood Hopkins, and his producing partner, Neil Meron, we are stunned that the man behind so many incredible film, theatre, and television productions was taken away so suddenly.
Craig’s distinguished career as a passionate and consummate producer is eclipsed only by his genuine love for family, friends and the thousands of actors, directors, writers, musicians, designers, and technicians he worked with over the years. His absence will be felt in our hearts and throughout our business.
Craig was more than a close friend of 30years, he was also a mentor to many who taught us all how to dream.
-John.

To the families of the Sandy Hook 26,
and the fine folks and friends of Newtown,
we would like to apologize for your continued assault on behalf of the malicious actions of the
Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
Former Assistant District Attorney
Anjelica Gregory
has since lost her job
after Suborn Perjury complaint filed.
We've been addressing these issues that took us away from you, and the accepted, approved CenTer.
Now that Governor Cuomo has signed in a Commission of Prosecutor Accountability,
we trust the Governor will make things right
and we'll be able to get back to work soon.

WHY WE KNEEL:
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” -Martin Luther King Jr. We believe in honoring Sandy Hook, We believe in teaching trauma/PTSD + We believe building a CenTer would help change gun laws. We believe.. THANK YOU, Nike #BuyNike #IBelieve do you? |
On 14 December, 2012; we answered the call to do an "Act-of-Kindness" for Sandy Hook, and chose to do 26Days-of-Kindness for each life senselessly taken.
And we did.
In fact, it's been 5 years and ten months and we have not wavered.
We are a volunteer/ grass-roots effort incorporated by Skadden, Arps, Meagher & Flom LLP in 1997 as a children's national non-profit. However, the Manhattan District Attorney, in all his corruptness believed we were not legitimate because we chose not to accept money or be driven by a PAC. Upon realizing his mistake, he then allowed an Assistant District Attorney to then "Suborn Perjury" to WIN a bad case/disagreement.
In 2013, we released a version of Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All," (download below) with the support of Mr. Clive Davis, to accompany our video of the Sandy Hook Memorial.
At the end of the YouTube released video, we asked that any support offered be sent directly to The Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue. In fact, we chose to redefine non-profit and are a band of volunteers, and not financially compensated. After all, philanthropy should be derived by heart, not financial incentives.
5 years and 8months later, our mission remains the same:
- Honor the Sandy Hook 26,
- Support the bereaved,
- Build a CenTer, +
- Achieve Gun Reform as we proceeded.
Malicious Prosecution and Abuse of Power comes at great cost- especially to Newtown.
Thank You, Governor Cuomo for now holding these abusive prosecutors accountable.
Special Thank You to Senator John A. Defrancisco for his 6yr dedication to bringing Bill S2412D to life.

There is No-Good-Deed, and we too received similar pushback the kids of Parkland Florida endure. However, in addition to being targets of the small minded, 2A loving individuals, we were also subject to a corrupt prosecutor.
Fortunately, she lost her job as a result but we are still seeking justice:
MANHATTAN DA'S PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT:
"MALICIOUS PROSECUTION,"
"STACKING,"
"SUBORN PERJURY,"
"FRAUD OF THE COURTS."

NEW YORK
Honorable Eugene Fahey,
You are corrupt, incompetent, or are just lazy. After Sandy Hook, the nation was asked to do an act of kindness, and we did.
The State of New York accepted us as a recognized national 501c3, and therefore so must you. However, you disregard irrefutable proof of prosecutorial misconduct.
Again, you too are either corrupt, incompetent, or are just plain lazy. Either way, you have no honor.

“During my lifetime I have dedicated my life to this struggle of America’s Children.
I have fought for the abused, and I have fought against those who abuse their power. I have cherished the ideal of a kinder, gentler, and just society in which all persons will live together in harmony and in peace.
It is an ideal for which I hope to live for and to see realised.
But, My Lord, if it needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Friends,
I’m truly touched that you would all honor our vision in your expressing your continued support- we currently are over 36MILLION +.
My God, we’ve seen an exorbitant amount of trouble lately. To that I ask that you all say a prayer so we may we be kinder to each other. And as I vowed to myself as a kid if I should ever make it, I would never be ungrateful and that I would always be kind. That should I ever be in a position of influence, I would have it in me to use it for good. Some may ask me why. I say, why not me?
Humanity that has inspired me to see the world with enough compassion that I may want to do something about all of the unfair things I see in it. And that is why we are honoring the abused, and all the victims of violence. KathyRinaldiHope is a force for good that is very close to my heart.
When people envision humanity, they rarely comprehend what it actually means. To me, it means having to choose, and I chose humanity- I choose all of you, and our children without hesitation.
To some it may seem noble, or to others it may seem self indulgent and a bit circumstantial. It may also seem most appropriate given my circumstance and all I’ve survived. It’s also often frustrating given my recent opposition. With pride aside and my deepest humility I see no other paths. I do not seek recognition but I do not expect such reservations either. Helping or the sheer act of attempting to end such outrages should not cost ones’s life. Life may be given, it cannot however be taken or at least it should never be.
But it’s also the world in which I belong and I believe we all have accountability. I’m also told each person has the ability to create change and that we all matter. There are however good people and we should all try to do what’s right in our own small way- in the best way that we know how.
For those of you who have looked beyond yourself, you know exactly what I mean. Maybe I’m naive but I do believe in hope, I do still believe in magic, and I do believe in fairytales. I believe that they can exist if we really want them to. If we’re prepared to work hard enough.
I believe that the world will not always be full of hatred and conflict, if we’re willing to sacrifice enough. That is what this life means to me. And in a way, that’s why I am an advocate. I have no army. I wish ill on no one. I may bear some resistance to aggression, but I’m always trying to be better.
I’m still just me, I’m still here doing what I do, trying to make a little difference in the world in the best way that I know how. But it wouldn’t be real life, or it wouldn’t be the fairytale, if there wasn’t someone trying to destroy it, or crush it, simply because it doesn’t please them, or simply because they can.
I know that some think it’s their right to do so. But I don’t think anyone should have the right to crush happiness or hope when they see it. That’s not how I was raised. That’s not the world I wish to be a part of.
I believe in kindness. And I believe that it’s hope and love that can bring us together. It’s love that will make us put away our guns, and our politics, and our fears and our prejudices. And it’s love that will eventually make everything right. And that is why I’m going to continue to celebrate it, and I’m going to be willing to defend it. And hope that you will all do the same in your own way, out there in your own lives.

The kids of Parkland are going through the same things we did- people told us that we couldn't #STOPGunViolence, and asked us who we thought we were to even try..
They made up lies, and tried to discredit us too.
We do not create PAC's, we simply answered the call to participate in #ACTSofKindnessForSandyHook

'you are better than all of us combined. and we are so very proud!

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting occurred on December 14, 2012, in Newtown, Connecticut, when a 20-year-old lone gun-man fatally shot 20children between sixand seven years old, as well as 6adult staff members.
The incident was the deadliest mass shooting at either a school in U.S. history and the 3rd-deadliest mass shooting by a single person in U.S. history. WE SAID NO MORE! |
While most people sit idly by and 'watch,'
we act. As 30 yr. child advocates, we are compelled to do "be the change we wish to see." Within hours of the attack, we had financial, and mentorship. The very next day, we met with fellow advocate Ricky Martin, and lovely Julianne Moore to discuss our need to build a CenTer- within a week, our proposal was accepted. 5 April, 2016 it was approved. |
