Subject: L&J: Men's Rights, Inc.
Patricia et al.,
If you should run into this ideology again,
please remember to refer men you know to
Fredric Hayward, founder of Men's Rights, Inc.,
in Sacramento, California state. Fred is
tops in this field, having been doing it for
more than 15 years now. NOW is directed to
emasculate warriors, at points where they are
most needed. After rejecting NOW in a great
struggle, where I was horribly outnumbered
(on the WELL in Sausalito, California state),
I re-discovered my Sword, and then I learned
how to wield it again.
Hayward's telephone number is: (916) 484-7333
Good luck!
I am standing by.
/s/ Paul Mitchell
