[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or at least a description . . . . .[/quote]

A description....  We have approx. 50 host families that have all shared information.  We are in contact with a producer who will get this on national news once we have several items in place.  We have a breakfast meeting setup with my Congressman to talk about presenting a bill before Congress with a co-sponsor from the opposite party to help give host families more protections.  There are currently zero protections for host families in the State Dept. regulations concerning the au pair program.  We are claiming fraud against several agencies.  We have approx. 5 firms looking at the case and we want the best and of course not all 5 would take it on anyway.  This will most likely go class action in Federal court.  This is a grassroots effort from a bunch of great families that actually care about other people and their children.  It might sound easy to throw out a bunch of names on a public forum but the website was a way to allow us to keep families information on a secure server and to contact them in the future.  Some families are still with agencies so we are not trying to make their life difficult.  The people who will be involved would clearly be upset over how the agency treated them.  We can be much more specific once we put a couple more pieces together.  The main point is to gather a list of potential families that might be party to this suit.  This is usually thousands of dollars that are lost when a family is either kicked out of a program for raising alarm bells, losing an ap for whatever reason, etc.

We are trying to save the au pair program while making it better for host families and au pairs.

We feel a bi-partisan bill could allow Congress to show they are attempting to help American families while still keeping the program.  It would give both sides the talking points they need.[/quote]

I meant a description of who YOU are . . . (one of these families, a consultant, a paralegal).

Why should anyone give their personal information to an anonymous poster who wont even say who they are . . .  Raises lots of red flags.
