50 State Blog Roundup

On the eve of the South Carolina primary, those of us near the state are busy canvassing, calling and doing everything we can to stay on top of the local news.

Submitted by betsyforjudge on Mon, 05/26/2008 - 9:03am.

I would like to thank everyone who has visited my website at www.betsyforjudge.com and shared their stories. Here is just one:

Cheryl** is 37 years old. She is the mother of 3 children, ages 14, 7 and 14 months. Cheryl is employed full-time and lives in a 4-bedroom, 2 and 1/2 bath home on 60 acres. Orange County Child Protective Services (CPS) removed Cheryl's 3 children from her custody on January 15, 2008, alleging that her 7-year old son was locked out of the house one day and had to call his father from a neighbor's house. According to the juvenile petition filed by CPS, Cheryl is "jittery" and her behavior raises "suspicions" of a personality disorder or substance abuse. To date, Cheryl has taken 27 drug tests which have all been negative.

BETSY J. WOLFENDEN ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF CAMPAIGN WEBSITE

CHAPEL HILL – 5/24/08 – Betsy J. Wolfenden, candidate for 15-B District Court Judge, announces the launch of her campaign website: www.betsyforjudge.com

Betsyforjudge.com educates voters on the importance of electing impartial judges and on Wolfenden’s position on the issues, including the need for a specialized Family Court in District 15-B and protecting the public from lawyers who act unethically and unprofessionally.

Wolfenden also hopes to engage in an online dialogue with voters regarding their experiences—good and bad—in 15-B District Court, with the goal of improving court services to the citizens of Orange and Chatham Counties.
