That’s right! I have fans. I only have a few, but out of the top 403 internet service providers to provide traffic to my website over the last month, I wouldn’t have guessed that the object of my disaffection, American Nation Property and Casualty would have been #9 out 403! With 41 visits from their main office in Springfield, MO, I’m guessing the best source of accurate news about their sordid reputation IS RIGHT HERE! While you nice folks out on the interwebs are reading to find out what happened to Carol Ann and Laura Stutte, American National Property and (more…)

Their American Dream
Returning from Nashville where Carol Ann and Laura celebrated their anniversary they found a pile of rubble where their dream home once stood. Despite numerous police reports documenting a neighbor that had threatened to burn down their home and who repeatedly told them the “…only thing better than one dead queer was two dead queers…” no arrests have been made.

Arson Victims to Insurance: Please do something!
This week I received a copy of a letter sent by Carol Ann and Laura Stutte to their insurance company, American National Property and Casualty (ANPAC). This impassioned plea asks for no less than the insurance company to honor their policy and end their suffering so that they can move on and start their personal healing as well as finding a permanent home.
