Bryan Lee McGlothin powerfully presented at the DC FESTIVAL 2008, Family Preservation Festival, on the issue of parental kidnapping. Through personal experience and inner-reflection, he touches on areas of his book, Have You Seen My Mother, a true story and first hand account of a parental kidnap. Parental Alienation and Parental Abduction are directly related.

"Once finding his mother, Bryan embarked on a difficult, heart wrenching journey of discovery; research at libraries and courthouses across the country as well as speaking to family members he had not seen in forty years, has brought to the surface, the ugly truth of the deception wielded by his father, for so many years, in the name of God. Bryan offers his, and his mother's bittersweet story."

Chad Gist & William Dunn of Fathers Supporting Fathers Florida presented at the DC FESTIVAL 2008, Family Preservation Festival. This dyamite couple couldn't even wait until arriving at the festival before they had an article in their local newspaper. The Ledger, thanks to the great reporting of Shoshana Walter, published the article: Fathers' Rights Activist To Travel to Festival. As you can see in the article that was published August 13, 2008, before the festival, "Dunn and Chad Gist, the head of the organization Fathers Supporting Fathers, will lead a talk about false allegations and host a screening of the movie "A Father's Rights" at Upper Senate Park in the nation's capital Friday."

True to the papers word, Chad Gist and William Dunn came to Washington DC and delivered their speech on Saturday, August 16, 2008.

You can find their speech on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM7d98qc_fI

When I spoke with Chad Gist this morning he indicated that "we needed people to come together and do this," and solidified the message with "we are united and we are everywhere."

Last night on the GET OFF THE BENCH talk show we indicated we were going to send out special announcements regarding final destination DC FESTIVAL 2008 after we spoke with our awesome Equal Parenting Bike Trekkers last night. This is that message. Print this email off as a task list if you have to, it is important. WE all have to get this stuff done. This email is intended to be redistributed today by leadership to County and State groups as well as to direct action activists that are ready to move beyond the keyboard.

Volunteers. We need several volunteers asap!!! Please fill out this form: FORM SITE FOR VOLUNTEER SIGN UP - digest readers email me at dcevents@laryholland.com for direct link.



We need people to notify the organizations listed at this site that a group supporting Parental Rights are going to be in Washington DC.

1. click one of the links near the top of the spreadsheet, then log each organization that you email information to about the festival. Remember, the point of our advocacy efforts are not just to meet one another, but to recruit and notify outside organizations and agencies that we exist. Your help is invaluable to this end! We simply cannot do it all. We have to get more volunteers.


2. If you have questions, contact splitntwo@yahoo.com, amothersfight@yahoo.com, or loop_hole_justice@yahoo.com. They will be able to explain answers to any of your questions in the next 24 hours. Don't wait!


We have had around 23 states contribute something! This is awesome and we have done this in just under 60 days, and now we really have to pull off a miracle. We have raised more than 6 times the past efforts for this event, but have still fallen short with organizational benefactors waiting to get involved. You are part of that miracle of why we have been successful up to this point and we have made great strides demonstrating that individuals can make a real difference.


We can do some more and it can start with a donation, telephone call, or volunteer position. I think you will agree. Make a point to contact at least two people in states that have not contributed yet, and urge the importance. We need to get more states involved for this building block event and because many states have not hit their groups minimum. This hurts the event in a bad way and we have to cure this over the next 24-30 hours. Every person can help recruit $5.00 - $10.00 donations for the states that have not gotten involved. We want at least half the states to on the board as this is truly a NATIONAL issue. Let's prove it.


Also, look into any membership fees that you might have submitted to organizations and see if those organizations have contributed financially to a parental right's event in 2008. If not, this is the perfect event for larger organizations to step up to. We also have a need for speakers in select areas to complete the programs. If you sense any organizations are silent, with a "wait and see" approach to their support, then it stands to reason they will "wait and see" on legislative activities as well. People hate it when I make a statement like this, but as advocates, sometimes we have to take time and spend it advocating to our organizations. Speaking to ourselves, although important, impedes our ability to sway legislators. This is important when reviewing which organizations to support in the coming year after the election. I don't know about you, but I am done with the wait and see approach to advocacy. It gets us nowhere and results in more time away from our children.


I typically have supported activities of most known organizations and even I will be reviewing which ones I financially and physically support for the coming years and hope you will to. Remember the prediction email that I sent out? Conceptualize, Visualize, Materialize!


Here is something to consider: "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." I have been trying to help all invent a future where we have equal access to our children and help as many as possible individually as possible. Are we "waiting and seeing" and failing to invent the future? Parental Equality seems like a worthy issue to take up and fight.


Final letters of support need to get into me asap. Email them per the website under Get Involved at the top (#6 on the list). Go to the website and click "Get Involved" at the top and please get your individual, organization, and agency support letters for the event in. All the details are there. Recruit others to do the same asap. This is about delivering our voices post election! Let's get this done as soon as possible.


Despite all odds, we have made it this far, lets finish the home run stretch tonight on the conference call. We are short a tremendous number of physical items as a result of too few people stretching themselves to far. We need your help and expertise in key areas. You know someone with skills, get them on the call tonight.


Live Call In: 724-444-7444

Talkcast id: 43507

No Pin? Just hit 1+#


Bring as many people as you can to the conference call tonight. It is important!


Also, flood the various yahoo groups with your Travel Arrangements, proposed stopping/mini rally points, and lodging details. Don't sit in silence, start reaching out to other people in your state! There are still some people that are making direct requests to just a few people instead of getting connected in their own networking circles and advocating. You should get your car pool requests spread out to and we know they are coming from every state. The only reason not to post is so you can say you didn't find one. No easy way outs, we have thought of all the excuses, so each of you PLEASE POST YOUR ITINERARIES. It is time for you to hold the hands of others instead of a few holding your hands. Everyone has the opportunity to lead and be a part of history. Don't wait for someone else to do what you are more than capable of doing. Show our government how serious you are about making every event a successful talking point in State and Federal circles.


Please follow through with the entirety of this message. Sure it is long, but how long have you had to wait to get government out of your homes? Let's work together to affect this election cycle. Everything is right here for us to carry the message Nationally, Regionally, and Locally. As we have to do is act my friends. The opportunity this year will escape us for at least 2 more years. Contribute as a volunteer or as a financial supporter.


Sincerely,



Lary Holland

Fathers-4-Justice to Lead Organizations and Family Members in “Justice March” through Washington DC

WASHINGTON DC ———- Fathers-4-Justice announced today that they are leading organizations and family members in a “Justice March” through Washington DC on August 16, 2008. The origination point of the Justice March is scheduled to launch from the DC FESTIVAL 2008 Civil Rights Event at Upper Senate Park and continue to the United States White House.

Children’s and Parent’s Rights organizations from
across the nation are scheduled to congregate on Washington DC this
August 15 & 16 at the Upper Senate Park. Why? Because government
policies do not reflect what is truly best for children and good
parents. The event is bringing the major issues facing parents to the
legislators’ doorsteps, their backyards, and their offices.

The “Justice March,” which is just one of many
featured events of DC Festival 2008, will be led by Fathers-4-Justice
and will have several organizations that believe there is a basic right
to parent their own children in the ranks. “No Government office or
entity should have the power to interfere with fit loving parents
raising their children, but through an error in law many families have
that experience” states Brian Holladay of Fathers-4-Justice. He also
states that “America ’s families have had enough and want to ensure
that current and future politicians know they will be held accountable
for the damages they are causing.”

The march will start at Upper Senate Park (August 16, 2008 3:00PM
EST) and head through the National Mall between Independence and
Constitution Avenue . Turning right at the monument built to honor one
of our nations fore fathers, George Washington, the column will cross
Constitution Avenue and head for the White House following Fifteenth
Street . Fathers-4-Justice^® US (F4J^®) is a
501(c)(3) not-for-profit, volunteer army of fathers, mothers,
grandparents, and others dedicated to fighting for truth, justice and
equality in family law.

For more information about the Justice March or for information
about Fathers-4-Justice you may contact Brian Holladay of
Fathers-4-Justice at 440-388-4023 or visit the official F4J website at
www.f4j.com.

Parental Rights Organizations Across the Nation to Encroach on Washington DC for Civil Rights Event.

Oakland County, Michigan ———- Children’s and
Parent’s Rights organizations from across the nation are scheduled to
encroach on Washington DC this August 15 & 16 at the Upper Senate
Park. Why? Because government policies do not reflect what is truly
best for children and good parents. The event is bringing the major
issues facing parents to the legislators’ doorsteps, their backyards,
and their offices.

A coalition of numerous individuals, organizations, and agencies
that grows daily as August draws near, aim to bring solutions to many
crises that are affecting America in this landmark event. This event is
not to be confused with last year’s successful event, a rally held
under the name DC RALLY 2007 and organized largely by Minister Ronald
Smith of Children Need Both Parents, Inc. which is scheduled again for
2009.

“Where we have a government that thinks it has the apparent
authority to confiscate children at will, as we can see from the recent
issues in Texas earlier this year, something needs to be done.” states
Lary Holland, one of the organizers of this event. He further states,
“we are dealing with a fundamental liberty and civil rights issue that
has to be recognized and respected by our government, the protected
right of parenthood.”

Various groups across the nation aren’t willing to compromise
liberty and let their government run on autopilot any longer.
“Somewhere along the lines, the government stopped believing that the
Constitution was a restriction on them and not a restriction on the
people,” according to Holland. This event will also be welcoming a
number of cyclists that are pedaling bicycles from Michigan’s Capitol
all the way to Washington DC to support a child’s right to two parents.

For more information about this historic civil rights event,
individuals and groups may contact “Write to Parent” at 800-883-9619.
Organizations that have not secured their exhibition table can do so
through August 8, 2008 by using the toll-free telephone number.
Individuals and Organizations looking to attend and participate in the
event may obtain the most up to date for information on travel,
accommodations, and itinerary at the event website at www.dcfestival2008.com.
