Hi, Lou!  Thanks so much for posting - glad they responded to you.  They 
haven't sent anything to me yet except a "thank you for your email, your 
business is important to us," etc.  

I'm glad Marriott corporation is distancing themselves from their CT branch.  
Irene Weiser at Stop Family Violence is not convinced.  She writes:

Many people seem to be celebrating that Marriott has backed off from using
the "blame the victim" legal strategy.

PLEASE DON"T BE FOOLED by this - while they may have backed off of blaming
the victim they continue to use other ruthless legal tactics, including
trying to "out" the victim to friend, family and co-workers, and more.

Please visit Stop Family Violence to learn more and to send Mr. Marriott a 7
point plan for how his corporation can truly support this victim and all
women.

"Black people who speak out about white racism are NOT racists.  White people 
who call black people racists for talking about race are trying to silence us 
so that we stop talking about race.Why do white people continue to remain 
silent in the face of racism?  Your silence, to me, is deafening!"
