The Lonesome Death of Aaren Marie Dunn - ADF Declines to take the Case:

I reread my letter and I really like it.  I suppose I ought to write a
preface to the letter itself. Here goes:

On April 11, 2001, I wrote this email in reply to Thomas Stack, an attorney
with the Alliance Defense Fund, a fundamentalist peace and justice legal
coalition that after reviewing it, decided to decline our case.  I also and
copied it to 2 local media people and one person from CBS 48 Hours that
contacted me last year, three priests (2 Greek Orthodox, one Roman), the
local psychologist specializing in sexual addiction that gave me a referral
for the therapist for the girls in 1996, a group of attorneys I have already
consulted with, as well as my brother, my sweetheart, and Dr. Judith
Reisman of CPS (Child Protective Services) Watch (God Bless You, Dr R!).
I put everybody in the "To" column because I see us all as responsible to
effect societal change.  I didn't ask to have my life interrupted, either
but we are all either responsive or culpable for the violence and depravity
in our society that runs rampant and unchallenged in our day.  It's either
one or the other - cop outs will not absolve any of us.  God knows I am
doing my part to challenge the insanity!  James 2:14 - 17 makes it plain
what we are to do.  Hearing "Be warmed and filled" and then being left in
the cold left me with a bad taste.  I am certain we as a faith community can
do better than that.  And by God, we'd better!     - Jen

ADF Declines to take the Case

To the professional news and legal community:

There are two more weeks in which I may enter an appeal.  I can't see doing it without a lawyer.  It would appear that the legal community of the United States of America is content that Aaren Marie Dunn has died in vain, meaning that Colorado will continue in its callous indifference to the lives of its resident children and discrimination against thousands of its taxpaying residents.  Business as usual.  The Great Hate State is apparently exempt from enforcing the right to those civil liberties guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution.  (Personally, I'd take Hate over Indifference any day.  At least being on the receiving end of that would give me the dignity of being a going human concern, one whose voice had registered at least a ripple on the pond.)  I am but one working parent in this state and I've done all I can to challenge this disparity.  No one but I myself required accountability from Robert W. Dunn.  What I was entitled to from the Department of Human Services was an intervention - what I got was a deaf ear and a dead daughter.  Oh, they thought it would help if I filed for divorce and fought for custody.  I fail to see how.  Indifference...

Who will go with me?  Do I just take it in the shorts?  Could you, in the same position?  Yes, this is Gettysburg and I am the contemporary equivalent of General George Pickett.  Where is my division?  Is there no honor among American citizens?  Is there no one in the professional community that will place righteousness above risk?  Yeah, right.  Let George do it...  Indifference.  May God help us all.  Tomorrow it could be any one of you who wakes up on the outside of the enjoyment of the Constitutional rights you assumed were yours.  When what happened to me goes unchallenged by courts of law, you may be certain that your own freedoms are in jeopardy.  Oh, generation of moral cowardliness!  Our culture exults in a public and private position of indifference, as characterized by our disposable humanity/abortion-crazed value system.  Human life is cheap - and diminishing in value every day.  Especially in Colorado, where having sown the wind by the dubious distinction we have of being the first state in the nation to legalize abortion in 1967, we now reap the whirlwind of having the equally nauseating distinction of being the child murders capital of the nation.  To the discerning, this is no mere conincidence.  

I work in a garden center and raise my daughter, a 12 year old murder eye-witness.  My hands are full, my passion will continue to be expressed, and I am certain that I have addressed persons of significant professional stature and moral passion that someone among you will be able to find me a fearless attorney.  I shamelessly ask that you make some type of attempt to do just that.  And to help you consider doing this, please check out the changes to Aaren's page in the M.O.M.Y. website.  There are new photos and links.  We are all going to be held accountable for what we've done in this lifetime.  Call it the Judgement, Karma, or conscience - there simply will be no escape.  Whether you agree with what I filed in U.S. District Court or not, it's all true.  It cost me everything to learn what I've learned.  Don't go down in history (or in flames) for a position of indifference, as so many are apt to do.  You all should envy me, because I have the sweet peace of a satisfied mind and nothing to lose.  It's my belief that there is an attorney in this land who is equally fearless.  Use your resources to help me find him/her.

Yes, Mr. Stack, I hear you.  The case is beyond my scope, too, but I choose death before the dishonor of shirking my moral obligation here.  What does Mr. Sears say?    

Respectfully submitted,

Jennifer J. Dunn
