Good People & People of Faith, Many of you have heard about one of the best documentaries regarding Family Rights. It shows the damage our present "systems" of Family Law cause to the entire Family. "Support? System Down" was released a few years ago and you can see some excellent trailers at the site (http://www.SupportTheMovie.com/). It will be showing in Cherry Hill, New Jersey (just East of Philadelphia), on June 20th. See complete details on time & location below. I plan to be there and hope to see some of you! These events give us a nice opportunity to meet face-to-face. It tells "our" story, both Mothers & Fathers, in a way other people can understand. There was a theatre showing in my home town and my friends & neighbors came away saying, "John, now I understand how bad things are. I never realized ...." I must also add I'm very thankful to the producer, Mr. Angelo Lobo, when I was jailed in July <http://www.akidsright.org/support_jm.htm#tube>, 2006 and had a feeding-tube stuffed up my nose -- the in-jail interview by Angelo with his cameraman helped insure my 'safety' as a prisoner (also part of the film). ***The Unitarian Universalist Church of Cherry Hill NJ http://uucch.org/ will be showing the film Support System Down on Thursday evening, June 20th (the Thursday following Fathers Day).*** Arranged by Jeff Golden (jeffface@aol.com <mailto:jeffface@aol.com>, President of FACE, http://www.faceNJ.org/). Don't hesitate to contact Jeff if you have any questions regarding the showing. ----- UUCCH will have a special showing of the film, "Support System Down" which explores flaws in the current child support system - Thursday, June 20, 7 p.m.Discussion and light refreshments will follow: 401 N. Kings Highway, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 <http://goo.gl/maps/r81hG>(click for a map & direction). Much has been said about civil rights regarding gender, race, and sexual orientation.Yet many of us have implicitly supported a system that benefits itself only by separating one or both parents from their children: even though each of us knows nobody loves us more than our parents, and, as parents, there is nobody we love more than our children.Please join in watching a film that takes an honest look at the support system in place and its consequences.Is the right to relationship between parent and child unimpeded by government a civil right? UUCCH has said it wishes to become an area beacon providing multi-denominational leadership around social justice issues. This is certainly an opportunity to do so. In many ways it is also an opportunity for the church to continue its journey to return to its core values. Best regards & hope to see you there!
