Some good news
Michael Vick homecoming in Virginia postponed - NFL - SI.com

I am sending an email to the city chamber of commerce.

You go girl!

"We want to say as an organization we're not intimidated and we won't waiver in our support of Michael Vick," Shannon said. "We believe in forgiveness and we believe in redemption so we believe that Mr. Vick should be able to move forward with his life and make a livelihood."

So does this mean that we are DON'T believe in redemption and forgiveness? I agree that Vick should be able to "make an livelihood" just not in a profession that has so much influence over children! My God they don't put child molesters back in with children!

Thanks Sweetie!

You know, what I am about to say is unchristian but one thing that really bothers me about people like this is that if they ask God to forgive them they get to go to Heaven and if I hold a grudge against them I go the other way. Where is the fairness there? Off topic - sorry.

Good Morning Lou, hon don't think for a minute that is the way it works. God is fair, how could he not be. If he sees in their heart that their sorry is honest I'm sure that is one thing but God is all knowing and he would know when it isn't also. I don't know about holding a grudge but gosh celebrating a man that has done something this horrible cannot be right.
I know, I would never be a part of it.

My email was short and to the point and I said I was glad I didn't live in their town. I didn't bring up dogs at all but they knew what I meant.

This is what I wrote:

I hope you are prepared for a rash of juveniles involving themselves in dog fighting. Since you plan to “celebrate” a monster like Michael Vick, you are teaching your young people that as long as you are famous it is OK to kill, maim, and mutilate innocent creatures of God. It makes me cry to think about the damage you will be doing and the damage Michael Vick has already done.
Shame on all of you!

Just got an email from them and said we should direct our concerns to the daily newspaper at

dailypress.com -- Hampton Roads, Virginia, news, sports, weather, real estate, jobs and cars from the Daily Press - dailypress.com

I put the C of C email on the largest dog site in the world this morning and I think they don't want to be bothered with all these emails but it is their job to promote their city so lets send it to both of them and maybe they will get the message.

Send these two emails to everyone on your address books and anyone else you can think of like breed clubs etc. THANKS

Could someone get this on Twitter and Facebook?

Joan, we must not be alone. I got a REALLY curt response form the Chamber. LOL

cthalhofer · 08-04-2009, 08:16 AM

I can't belive he's out but I can definitly say if they let him play proball again I will not be watching this year I refuse to support him in any way. I also am shoked that anyone would think be could be used as a role model for children what you think they belive he's instantly reformed that's a joke.

Lexi Rae · 08-04-2009, 08:35 AM

he is such a loser,i just want to spit on him!!!

crystalsmom · 08-04-2009, 06:41 PM

Oh this is working.

He is now saying it probably would not be good to be seen in public before he accepts an invitation to play for an NFL team.

The city is being crashed with emails and I'll let you know more tomorrow. Thanks to all who helped.

crystalsmom · 08-05-2009, 04:19 AM

This was in this morning New Port News Daily Paper
Newport Daily News

I received an email from someone this morning saying the celebration was cancelled but I don't know them and I emailed back to see where they heard it.

I am emailing the Chamber of Commerce to ask them right now.

Although I could think of several valid reasons people could argue for why he should not be allowed back into the NFL, the whole "positive role model" for kids spill is NOT one of them. Why on Earth as a parent would you sit back and wait for your child's morals to be shaped and influenced by celebrities? That should be a parent's job, not something a celebrity should be responsible for! Furthermore, it's up to each parent to decide if Vick or anyone else is someone they want to allow their kids to look up to. (Although I can't imagine why anyone would!

)

I think generally speaking and putting the matter simply: People dislike the fact that Vick is going to be allowed to go back to a job where he will be in the public eye and where he will be making lots of money.
