Like you, I'm frustrated and tired by the lack of progress we seem to be making in the reform effort. More than one person has says we suffer from lack of unity and they are quite right. Many of you have been on our mailing list for years. I've exchanged email with quite a few and many share some similar goals. I invite you to join me in a social network designed specifically for Family Law reform. http://www.NationalPLC.Org/ - The National Parent's Leadership Council You know what they often say, "Big name, small results!" Let's hope that doesn't happen here! In the past we've tried to unite by being 'against' the same thing -- none of us like the system!!!! I don't feel that approach is bringing us together effectively? Let's try to create a network of people who share a common vision of reform based on recognizing Family Rights. Because of my work I've been able to customize an excellent social networking site. It's easy to change to be specific to our needs. As a Member you can create your own BLOG and have an RSS news feed. Members can create both public and private groups and exchange messages. There is also an event calendar so we can keep track of happenings. Your FEEDBACK is welcome. Please review the list of goals & ideals below. If they sound good to you please join the Network as a Member. If you find it interesting, you are welcome to join as a Monitor. http://www.NationalPLC.Org/ * BOTH biological parents have a right to know they have a child. * BOTH parents are presumed FIT & EQUAL (in terms of both physical and legal custody of their children). If anyone (a spouse, relative, or Child Protective "services") wishes to challenge that, you have a right to speedy trial, counsel, and the protection of a criminal jury and a unanimous verdict. The "state" needs to prove you were a demonstrated serious and intentional threat to your child's safety and acted with malintent. * A child has a right to EQUAL contact with BOTH parents. A child does NOT have a right to pick a preferred parent. A child does NOT have a right to parents who always act in the child's best interest. * In our discussions with ourselves and our public actions, all should be treated with dignity, respect and compassion. We can condemn injustice without malice. * We identify ourselves as 'parents' seeking reform. Our issue is family rights and the ability to raise & nuture our own child free of government interference. Our primary focus is NOT men's rights or women's rights or child support reform. I look forward to growing participation. We are not looking for volume right now, but the formation of a strong network based on common ideals and goals.
