Do we need to take our effort to another level to create change? 1. Reality check - how we doing? 2. I need a loving father (& mom) to join me - with Faith in reform. 3. Gathering people who share common beliefs - step One in reform. 1. Reality check - how we doing? -------------------------------- I've been busy the last few weeks. After scanning some news groups there seems to be very little Family Rights activity associated with this Father's Day? I'm blessed to spend six weeks with my son -- so many Fathers will spend this day without their kids. We're right to call it a Civil Rights violation, a great injustice, an indignity, an assault upon the Family. We're sadly mistaken to think 'talk' alone or 'expecting' officials to rescue us (both Mother and Fathers) from this terrible system will work. How about these items: ONE: Here is a pointless message I saw today [When are we going to be frustrated with ourselves for not taking personal action?]: "Will Obama do anything to help prevent government ejection & exiling of fathers from their kids' lives, or just blame fathers? Title IV-D and VAWA promote fatherlessness by granting federal money to states..." TWO: Our modern President, who loves his kids, broadly paints all fathers as needing to do a better job with their kids. [It's the new fashionable stereotype]: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-06-20-obama-fatherhood_N.htm THREE: A greeting I saw today on a group. Reality or pure fantasy and wishful thinking? "Children are a man's heart and soul. A man will walk through fire for his children -- if that is what it takes to nurture, love, mentor and protect them .... Fathers sacrifice their own dreams so that their children -- our future -- our bridge to the future -- will have the freedom to dream dreams and the tools to transform those dreams into entities that the world will see, feel, hear, and touch." [Maybe another sentence should have been added -- "As long as a Judge's order allows it and I won't get in trouble." Now we have reality?] FOUR: How many Parents willing to "walk through fire" and "sacrifice their own dreams" would have joined this Man? From "Real Fathers For Justice News" (info@realfathersforjustice.org) British Batman found guilty and could get SEVEN years in prison for holding up traffic while protesting for reform - http://www.realfathersforjustice.org/news/index.php?itemid=267 2. I need a loving father (& mom) to join me - with Faith in reform. ------------------------------------------------------------------- As we all know, one person alone can be dismissed as a "crazy" -- you get three people and you have a "movement." Through my past actions I've certainly sensitized some local politicians and media about Family Rights. What's missing -- getting more parents who are willing to sacrifice their freedom to demonstrate the depths of their love and their Faith in reform. The only other parent I ever had join me was Cathy Hughes, willing to write "I LOVE YOU" with chalk to her kids and risk arrest right outside a US Federal building. http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/index.htm#cathy NBC affiliate video: http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/video/hanley25jan.asx (windows media) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/actionc_syr/video/hanley25janA.mpg (mpeg-4) I'm planning another action like that for early August outside the local offices of Assemblyman Robert Oaks (in Lyons, NY). Hopefully these words will resonate within a loving mom somewhere out there -- who wants to stand up for her own dignity, and for the right of all Mothers & Fathers to be presumed FIT & EQUAL when it comes to their children.

Gathering people who share common beliefs - step One in reform. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A new network to bring together parents who share a common set of belief regarding reform was started a few months ago. The National Parent's Leadership Council, http://www.NationalPLC.Org/ There are over 70 people registered at present. When you have time, check it out and see if the core values agree with yours. As always, your FEEDBACK is welcome. -- John Murtari ____________________________________________________________________ Coordinator AKidsRight.Org jmurtari@AKidsRight.Org "A Kid's Right to BOTH parents" Toll Free (877) 635-1968(x-211) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ ======================================= http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ A Kid's Right to Both Parents! ------ Newsletter mailing list Newsletter@kids-right.org subscribe/unsubscribe info below: http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
