How great is it to be able to speak to people without dressing up and driving  or flying  all over to speaking engagements television talk shows.and conferences?  Along with this opportunity is the obligation to keep sending the message of truth that I spent 12 years taking to the public  That is the message that domestic violence is a little spoken of and very much vested issue  in the general public topic.  It has been said that what the American public doesn't know is what makes up the American public.  My book, Who Killed Lana B? is the byproduct of 20 years of overview and interaction with the criminal, victim and the legal system, lobbying for victims and those charged with the aftermath..  It attempts to put domestic violence into the realm of everyone as getting one step up in their understanding of social issues.  In future blogs I will feature excerpts from the book, that will be , as one reader observed, real eye openers.  I sincerely hope that people will allow themselves to partake of what I offered to the  public free. It's the gift of Lisa's and my pain and the knowledge received. The difference is that having finished my political work, I no longer  am politically correct.  People would come up to me in the street and say "Please don't ever stop doing what you do.  Politicians only tell us what they want us to know.  We believe you."  This is a not for women only read.  Happy learning!.

I'm very pleased to receive so many visitors to my Web page, www.milliebianco.com. It is my attempt at educating the public on domestic violence with the realities of the issue coupled with my experiences as an advocate following my daughter's murder. It will be be controversial, because unlike my lobbying days, it is not politically correct. But I found that people want the truth. It's for Lisa and her sisters in pain.

Hi Millie,
been reading thru your blog - and how true your words are. I'm scheduled to speak at a Task Force meeting on the 28th and scared to death - I've never spoken before but I have much to say! Any advice? I would love to get to the National level lobbying or doing something - how do I make that happen? Any advice? I lost my 37 yr old daughter in a murder/suicide in 2008 and lost my son at the age of 27 due to a massive heart attack. I've lived through much tragedy . On top of that I have RA real bad and have had it since age 18 but after Heather was killed it has progressively gotten worse and I have had two surgeries (one on each foot) and I'm looking at hip surgery in October. then hand surgery is next for me. I'm trying to raise the two daughtes Heather had - they are now 10 and 15. Its very hard for me. I'm on disability - retired from 27 years of real estate. My husbandand I have only been married 10 years and he is in real estate also. This market here is very bad so we are financially affected by this. I formed a foundation a non profit called Heather's Hope - and trying to raise awareness of DV locally and we have one main fundraiser a year - a Purple Ribbon 5Krun which is scheduled for September 24th this year because we could not get a date in October which I wanted. Its right around the corner and I'm working like a dog trying to pull it all together. It is being televised locally which is awesome. I eventually want to write a book as well - but that's a ways away -
Keep up the good work. I could use some advice - please.
Blessings and Peace to you and yours !
