I wanted to tell you how impressive it is that your company provided the web access for this project. I heard one of the girl's mother speaking on the Clark Howard radio show yesterday and thought I would check it out. I can't believe the speed, and wish you provided service in South Georgia! I hope you consider continuing the relationship after the year long period that your company agreed upon. People need to see the content on this site. You guys can't buy the type of media exposure that this thing is providing to you. Clark Howard is a nationally syndicated consumer advocate who has a daily talk radio show. He actually compared the virtues of your company assisting with this project to the "toll blocks" that At&T are trying to impose for people "using their pipes" to access the Internet. (His new pet peeve.) He went on for several minutes, wrapping up with the comment that you guys are acting like an Internet Provider should! Clark Howard endorsements are rather coveted in this part of the country. He has quite the following in Atlanta, where his show originates. Way to go!

I'm going to pass this on to my mother and her mother and someday hopefully my daughters and their daughters too. It's going to change the way women defend themselves. I can feel it.

I just wanted to say that what you're doing is an absolutely AMAZING thing. I am one of the Managers at the Build a Bear Workshop in Annapolis MD and I discovered your organization after flipping through a preview of our upcoming Huggable Heroes calendar. While it's always great to see kids helping other kids, in 6 years a BABW, none of the organizations ever REALLY hit home with me...but your's definitely did. I am 23 now, but when I was 16...I had a boyfriend that brutally attacked me. I feel like knowing more about how to fight back might've not only prevented the first incident, but things I went through for two and a half years with this boy after the fact. A film like your film would've really been a great thing to see in school...or anywhere really. So, while this isn't a strong enough word by any stretch of the imagination, kudos on what you've done and continue to do here!!!

Just sort of off the cuff, Maggie, I got to thinking today about how doctors and inventors also do things to benefit the public, but they don't give their services or ideas away for free. For what you and your wonderful Dallas have done, you deserve to be multi-millionaires. JYF is a priceless gift for all of mankind! For it, I'm truly sorry that the proper gratitude it deserves can only be expressed in the old cliché that no words in the English language are sufficient enough; no word, no phrase. To me, this is one of less than maybe a handful of ideas since time immemorial that will prove to have such a thorough, beneficial impact on mankind.

My name is Ellie and I'm fifteen years old. Today I was reading a Tae Kwon Do magazine and ran across Just Yell Fire. So I went to your website and watched the movie. I think what you guys are doing is awesome and that girls need to know that its ok to fight back and don't be afraid if someone threatens you. I'm just a yellow belt in TKD right now. But I've already learned some important self defense and how to help others in a harmful situation. The video was great and I really appretiated that you guys showed different ways to defend yourself, in different situations. My mom and Dad have always taught me to walk with confidence and to alway pay attention to that gut feeling. I can usually tell when something doesn't feel right and I always try to avoid vulnerable situations. I think that the message you guys are trying to spead is extremely important and that every girl should see this video. Thank you so much.

I saw your segment on the Montel show and was quite impressed. I am eager to share it with as many young girls and women as possible. I am so proud to know that we have such bright and pro active young people. I encourage you to continue to make your project known. I will do everything in my prower to spread the word.

I also plan to screen the video for as many women as possible we all need to know how to protect ourselves, and should know what to do in case of an attack

Just Yell Fire is the next best thing to having found a magic wand for protecting my family, and I mean that very sincerely. Thank you again for creating it!

Girl thank you so much for helping these young women, they need someone like you to teach them how to be strong and how to protect themselves. I'm 20, and from Alabama. I just saw you on the Headline News and I'm so thankful that you have taken this into your own hands and are so loving and helpful. And thank you for making the dvd's free. That's a wonderful thing that you do.

I think your video is one of the best I have ever seen! I watched you on the Montel Williams show just a while ago and had to look it up.

I am a single mom of three, I homeschool my own children and substitute teach in the public school. Furthermore, I am the President of our homeschool association.

Thank you!

My daughter is about to go to college and I am interested in your DVD. I would like to give her some skills to avoid an unwanted encounter. I myself was the victim of an assault during my sleep; fortunately, I woke up and my instincts took over to fight back. My attack could have been much worse as many of his victims didn't make it and were permanently disfigured.
Best of luck with your cause, it is an awesome one.
