Questions for the Candidate - waiting for answers. ----------------------------------------------------- As we mentioned in a prior list message we did send some questions to Dr. Warren Farrell, a candidate for California Governor, http://www.warrenfarrell.com/. He was nice enough to give us an immediate reply, but wasn't sure when he would be able to supply answers. Below are the questions we sent in our original message to him: -- To: Warren Farrell 1. In your "thesis" you mention "equal parenting" after a divorce. When you have two parents who don't get along and at least one "hates" the other -- how is this implemented? What major changes would you propose to present California Family Law? When their are allegations of "bad parenting" or "abuse" when/how is "equal parenting" affected? 2. Regarding "child protective" agencies which separate parents and children -- has the system gone too far? Is it too easy for a social worker to interfere in family life? Would you propose any changes to current laws? 3. Are both of the preceding item "state" issues alone? Is there a basic level where you feel basic human/civil rights are involved? Should there be Federal protections/legislation? 4. In the "action photos" section of your web site there is a picture of a group (mostly men) with the only visible signs saying: "Victims are cheated by excusing violent females" and "Feminist trained Cops & Judges batter men" Your "thesis" seem to say we need to get rid of victim mentality and correct excesses of the past -- do these types of signs represent the fix? Do you think these types of signs/expressions are useful in a political campaign? You have identified yourself as a "Father's issues" candidate -- is that label important for political success? 5. You are a well known author and a "brand name" for many people. How hard has it been to get help in your campaign? How many people have shown up for your rallies? Is it what you expected? Your web site allows people to make financial contributions -- outside of family/friends and others that know you personally, how many people have contributed money to the campaign? 6. Anything else you would like to share with us? 3. NonViolent Action - Murtari jailed outside offices of Senator Clinton. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Murtari returned to the Syracuse Federal building to again peacefully petition Senator Clinton. He was taken into custody by security staff, arraigned by a Federal Magistrate, and release. We will have more details at the site as they become available. For a complete background: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr ----- Following letter was faxed to the Senator's Scheduling Office ----- Their phone number is: 202-224-4451 26 Sep 2003 Office of Scheduling Senator Hillary R. Clinton Dear Ms. Volmoro: I was contact by Alex from the scheduling office several weeks ago and told to resubmit our groups request for a meeting with Senator Clinton. I'll be involved in peaceful activity outside your Syracuse office again on Wednesday, October 1st, other parents may join me. We are having a hard time getting any "traction" on our concerns with the Senator. I certainly understand how busy all of you must be and the many constraints on her schedule. The Senator is certainly a powerful force on family issues and we'd like to arrange a meeting so that she can here first hand the experiences of loving parents who have lost meaningful contact with their children. Please reference the two attached prior letters for more detail. Our goal for the meeting is not confrontation or to quiz the Senator on some of these issues. As a first step we just want to give her a chance to hear from people affected by our "systems" of family law. We hope that will start a dialog with her office and she will be encouraged to call for Congressional Hearings into the need for reform at the national level. Again, we are not asking her to immediately take a position on the need for reform (or what the reforms might be) - but to just start the investigative process. We hope this is a reasonable request. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. Best regards!
