Ohio NBC 4 Contines Updates on Fathers 4 Justice Crane Protest. There have been unconfirmed reports that police agencies may be mobilizing to take the crane by force to remove Donald Tenn, the last remaining father from a Crane in Columbus Ohio.

Paul Fisher was arraigned earlier this morning after climbing down from the Crane Monday evening for Felony Vandalism, under the accusation that bolt cutters may have been used to gain entry to the crane site where two Fathers 4 Justice members climbed atop a 100ft Crane.

According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.05 under Section (E) the applicable Felony could a be fourth or fifth degree offense brought against the protesters. These technicalities affect the severity of punishment. Along with other overriding provisions of ORC 2929.11 there can be a fine of up to $2500.00.

According to Ohio Revised Code 2909.11 pertaining to felony sentencing ..."The overriding purposes of felony sentencing are to protect the public
from future crime by the offender and others and to punish the offender. To achieve those purposes, the sentencing court shall consider the need for incapacitating the offender, deterring the offender and others from future crime, rehabilitating the offender, and making restitution to the victim of the offense, the public, or both."

Additionally, no matter the outcome of either trial, a conviction, or restitution assignment, nothing in these statutes prohibit the bringing of a civil action for additional damages against any of the alleged suspects or their associates which has been expressly preserved in the Ohio Revise Code under pertinent and numerous sections.

Two quotes come to mind immediately after reading some of the information are these: "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" according to George Orwell, but that is quickly followed up by the philosophy of Voltaire in his statement that "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong."

NBC 4 in Ohio recently covered a developing story with Fathers 4 Justice. Two Fathers 4 Justice members are camped on top of a 100ft crane near Ohio State University with a banner that states "Stop the War on Fatherhood."

A link to the story can be found here: http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/news.apx.-content-articles-CMH-2008-09-29-0002.html

According to the article:

"The fathers said they will come down when the governors from both
states agree to a non-partisan investigation into the family court
system in their respective states."

In the words of my father "I hope they packed a lunch." Groups and even some legislators have been calling for investigations in the improprieties of family courts for years.

One of my favorite sites out there on the Internet "Protein Wisdom" posted a link to our Current TV spot from the Michigan Equal Parenting Rally. Their website boasts a large national audience and people are seeing whole-heartedly what Michigan Leadership is doing to the Michigan Family. I tend to agree with the Michigan Taxpayer Association that Speaker of the House Andy Dillon should indeed be recalled. Michigan State Representative John Stahl is quoted in summary that "Speaker Dillon believes that your children are all wards of the state."

Be sure to contact your State Legislator and let them know that your children are not wards of the state and that your right to direct the care, education, and upbringing rests with you and not the politicians. You can use the following contact sheet to call every one of the State Legislators and "tell them to stop allowing House Leadership to Stall House Joint Resolution NN." Just two to five minutes of your day can make a difference for Parental Rights everywhere.

Lansing, Michigan. Several Michigan State Legislators voiced their positions and willingness to "press the button now" to allow voters the chance to approve a landmark parental rights amendment to the Michigan State Constitution. "Michigan Legislators and Family Rights Organizations from West Virginia, Florida, Ohio, and Michigan were present and in support of House Joint Resolution NN, which is the first of its kind nationwide," according to Lary Holland, Executive Director of Write to Parent, Inc.

Michigan's House Joint Resolution NN in pertinent part: "Parents and Legal Guardians have a natural and fundamental right to direct the care, education, and upbringing of their children. No government action shall burden, abridge, or hinder this natural, fundamental right unless it is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest."
