FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT - FILED BY ATTORNEY LEON KOZIOL ---------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Jack Frost This press release went out a few days ago. Attorney Leon Koziol (http://www.LeonKoziol.com/ [1]) has been fighting for Fathers Rights for quite some time. He is a civil Rights attorney that became involved in his own custody battle and saw first hand what family court and nys law does to families. "In what may be described as the most sweeping challenge to date upon our nation's draconian child control laws surrounding Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, New York Civil Rights Advocate Leon R. Koziol, J.D. has filed a comprehensive test case in United States District Court in Albany, New York. Named in the action are judicial and law enforcement officials, including New York's Chief Justice and Unified Court System. The lawsuit, served upon select parties this week, takes aim at "custody" and "child support" laws which alienate children from their parents as part of a government money generating scheme. A 39 page, 24 count civil complaint sets forth the manner in which lawyers and forensic agents feed off of manufactured controversies in domestic relations courts to harm parent-child relations and the financial stability of mainstream households. According to Koziol, it is a process which is harming the productivity of an entire nation."

CHICAGO RALLY -- WHAT HAPPENED ON OCT 23RD. --------------------------------------------- Submitted by: John F It rained all morning, we had about 12 - 13 people. 4 groups together. The rain cleared up around noon. I spent alot of time contacting the media, to have no one show up. So I will be making a youtube video I am sure. I would like to send in a story to the media as well, I just do not have that much time right now. I have a court case to get ready for which takes away my time right now. I have some pictures on my facebook page. It was a great spot for a rally though. A lot of horns honking! 3. F4J PROTEST IN BALLSTON SPA, NY - WEDNESDAY, NOV 24, 1100-1300 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: Jack Frost Not to be deterred by the heavy handed response [from a prior protest detailed below] we have a protest scheduled for this Wednesday at 11:00AM-1:00PM. This is the first midweek protest we are doing in Ballston Spa, NY, usually I do them on the weekend because I'm working. It will be at the corner of route 50 and West High street. Anyone interested in participating please contact me. cell: 518-321-9928, home: 518-693-6315, email: fr33j6ck@yahoo.com. I am also quite active on facebook. Feel free to do a friend request. http://www.facebook.com/j6ckfr0st [3] In Solidarity, John (Jack) Frost Fathers 4 Justice - Leadership Council New York Chapter. 861 North Hudson Ave. PO BOX 801 Stillwater, NY 12170 4. F4J PROTEST AND VIDEO - WHAT HAPPENED IN BALLSTON SPA, OCT 2ND. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by Jack Frost Here is a video I put together of the last protest Oct. 2nd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXMt9MxTYeE [4] This was the first protest where I had a police presence. I was in the street handing out Fathers4Justice business cards. I was not interrupting traffic and the public was very supportive. I even received 17 dollars in donations although that was not my purpose. My purpose was to bring awareness to the injustice that happens in Family Court especially to Fathers and the relationship with their children. A eventually got out of the road as was requested by the Ballston Spa policeman. I moved to the other side of the street to continue my protest on the sidewalk. I saw the Ballston Spa policeman pull up very fast and he was shouting into the mike of his radio. I thought this was a little over the top for a one man, one grandmother protest(she was the one taking the pictures, she is in her 60's). I got some pics of me protesting right next to his vehicle. After a short time a trooper driving very fast pulled up on the other side of the parking lot and then yet another trooper showed up. The accompanying video is a little tongue-n-check at the heavy handed response from the local Ballston Spa policeman and the troopers who were called for backup. Kind of reminds me of how fathers are treated like criminals in family court. Loving fathers are not criminals. All the police stayed until the protest was over. You can see the Ballston Spa policemen taking down my license plate. I later learned he was after my name and address as I got the 911 recordings. The troopers never asked me for identification and I certainly wasn't hiding it. More unnecessary heavy handedness - the war against loving fathers continues beyond the court room as we all know. 5. IDEA OF EQUAL PARENTING GOING OUT OF STYLE? - WILLIAM L SPENCE ----------------------------------------------------------------- Submitted by: William L Spence Is the idea of equal parenting going out of style? There have always been some fathers who hold that patriarchy is the natural condition of the family and father sole custody when the parents break up is always the the best arrangement for children, but I think I've been seeing a new trend among fathers in which equal joint custody is ridiculed and fighting hard in court to win full custody is urged. The claim that's being made is that there's no family court gender bias and that by bringing forth quantities of `evidence' embarrassing to the mother, and tampering with court appointed evaluators, a father can reliably win in court. Other than instruction to give it lip-service, little is said about what's good for the child: defeating the ex' gets the entire emphasis. The cases that are exhibited as successes supporting this point of view all involve mothers who were clearly unfit to parent, and in which it appears the child protective agency going against the mother had much more to do with the result in court than the father's cleverness or aggressiveness. Nevertheless the approach and `understanding' of how family court operates offered, is appealing to many fathers with a much broader variety of types of cases, and despite the fact that most are in fact not readily receiving sole custody or even orders giving them anything approaching equal amounts of parenting time or decision making power. A notable segment among them are fathers who's child was conceived in a very casual relationship or one-night stand with the mother, who then complain that the mother's pattern of frequent changes of romantic partner should disqualify them as parents, and who expect to receive sole custody immediately upon establishing a steady relationship with or marrying another woman, even with a desultory record of contact with the child. 6.

I got your message and VERY sorry to hear what happened to you and your child. I can't imagine anything worse for you or him, and I hope you will not just walk away and affirm the great indignity by which you have both been treated. What happened to you is any parent's worst nightmare. I don't know how anyone deals with it. Pardon me if I challenge you to try a little more. You are welcome to post your story to our Hall of Shame, http://www.AKidsRight.Org/shame.htm [6] As long as our goal is "beating" them -- well, you are never sure if you will succeed or if it is worth the effort and sacrifice. But it is fully in your power to demonstrate to yourself, to your son, and to others how much you love your son and what a great injustice was done. I guess you have been on the list for a while, I encourage you to take a look at NonViolent Action again. Regarding "they terminated your rights?" Is that an oxymoron? How can they terminate something they never had control over? Was the black's right to freedom "terminated" because they were kept as slaves? I know taking action can be difficult, especially the sacrifice required. But as far as the present system goes, we are victims of our own timidity -- this guy says it well. Submitted by: Eric Tarkington It is amazing how docile people are! They will actually allow the government to take their children and/or decide which parental rights they keep. It is rare that the government has to use even the threat of force - people comply with having their hearts ripped out, just because they think they should. It's the 21st century, people! Join an equal parenting group! You are not the government's little dog, and they have no right to snatch your "puppies" when they feel like it. They are violating you and your children through you, and if you are not a criminal you are much better for your children than any government. Your natural commitment to your children is the awesome power that keeps the human race going. Respect yourself! Stand up and fight for your parental rights, which are the best protection of your children's best interests. There is only one other person who has an equal right to parent your children. Work things out with him or her, and keep the government out of it. Even if you think it is too late for yourself. If you would like to help others, let me know. -- John Murtari ____________________________________________________________________ Coordinator AKidsRight.Org jmurtari@AKidsRight.Org A Kid's Right to BOTH parents" (315) 944-0999(x-211) http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ Links: ------ [1] http://www.LeonKoziol.com/ [2] http://www.scribd.com/doc/42942978/Koziol-Files-Federal-Court-Civil-Rights-Lawsuit-NYS-Chief-Justice-Others-Named [3] http://www.facebook.com/j6ckfr0st [4] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXMt9MxTYeE [5] http://www.allaboutfam.org/ [6] http://www.AKidsRight.Org/shame.htm ========================================= http://www.AKidsRight.Org/ A Kid's Right to Both Parents! --- Newsletter@kids-right.org To REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE LIST go to: http://kids-right.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
