Seeking rights for grandparents
The Grandparents Advocate of America Org. is a national 501(c)3 organization and we as citizens of Connecticut and as honorable grandparents have rights to visitation of our grandchildren whether a grandchild resides in a nonintact family or in a intact family, and it’s not against the U.S. Constitution, no matter what anybody says.
It’s a organization to keep the family together as much as possible. It’s a godly organization with godly people, not only in Connecticut, but throughout the United States. Our elected officials have failed us here in Connecticut for four years in a row. This new governor of 2019 and the previous governor have denied us a simple proclamation two years in a row now in recognizing a Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day.
The governors office calls grandparents rights “controversial.” Who’s being controversial? The governor is and the Legislature in not being responsible and being ungodly in keeping humans in bondage for I do not know for how long or forever. Its not GAOAM, nor us grandparents and not us seniors, it’s Connecticut’s elected officials.
I cannot think of anything so ungodly done to grandparents and grandchildren. Our Connecticut elected officials for four years in a row now have done the same thing as the Connecticut governors office has done by not passing our 2019 bill, HB7095, or other bills similar in nature since 2016.
I, Emidio C. Cerasale, founder of GAOAM Org., do not consider myself a failure at all nor its members nor grandparents of Connecticut, young or senior. All of us have done everything humanly possible in advocating to eliminate the present statute, 46b59. As long as this statue is in place, a grandparent will never have rights to visitation of a grandchild in the state of Connecticut.
The governor’s office and the elected officials of Connecticut are the failures of this ungodly act of not doing human kindness. I hope and pray that no governor and elected official of Connecticut ever goes through what we grandparents of challenge go through everyday and every second of our lives, “a living deat every day,” in not seeing our grandchildren. But maybe they have to in order for them to get it through their thick, stubborn, notcaring skull, that maybe they ought to change existing statue 46b59.
A deep gratitude to all people and members of GAOAM and to the citizens of Connecticut and all over the U.S. who have supported us in many ways, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul,
This new governor of 2019 and the previous governor have denied us a simple proclamation two years in a row now in recognizing a Grandparent Alienation Awareness Day.
