Important Petition for the late, legendary Natalie Wood

Even if you haven't read Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour, you can see official poll results at my blog (www.martirull.blogspot.com) as to the ratio of those who believe the Wood case should be reopened as opposed to those who don't (9 to 1 in favor). If you feel informed enough to decide for yourself, please visit the petition and offer your opinion. You may sign anonymously and no personal information is required.
What most impresses me is that it is a reader of GNGS that started the petition. He used my blog as a reference at the actual petition, but it was his own mission and I highly support it. As Dominick Dunne once said, Justice delayed is justice denied.

I'm reaching out to my fellow SheWrites authors and writers to help with a very important mission. Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour has done very well in the "marketplace" even though it is working for itself on its own truth and merit. The paperback edition is slated for next year. I am very proud of that. Media have helped (Thank you to Woman's Day for the "first line read" in its Nov. 3rd edition, and many other media), but the greater media is slighting Natalie Wood, a woman who is part of our sisterhood, a woman who wanted to write her own memoir (she started it with pen and legal pad paper and hid it in her closet), and a woman who had to realize one night, "I just can't lift my head out of the ocean this time. I just can't. All of my physical strength is gone. I love my daughters and they willed me this far, but I just can't lift my head this last time." (Unthinkable after that.)
She was found floating the next morning in her nightgown, socks, and red down jacket, facedown, her body riddled with bruises. The Coast Guard rescuer was astonished when he asked her husband, "Why did you wait four hours to ask for our help?" and was told that Hollywood image was what needed protecting.
Please consider signing this important petition. It's truly for Natalie, a legendary woman who may have been a member here had she lived to write her memoirs. She was robbed of that opportunity.
Thank you, Marti Rulli, author of Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour.

Its a wonderful book, and inspired me to add Natalie into my own anthology about spectacular women murdered by their husbands. Women who never recieved justice because their men got away with it. Ms. Rulli like me appears to understand that in the words of the great Dominick Dunne, "Justice delayed is justice denied." And is doing her best to try and focus people on the loss of a great star who was I think also a hell of a woman. Go get em Marti!
