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.

Society has done a wonderful job at claiming that "child support" is a special kind of "debt." Society has also done a wonderful job in convincing the public that people sentenced for owing debt to prisons nationwide is a good thing. Where is the societal value in placing a 51-year old man in PRISON for years on a debt that is likely going to cause a significant recitivism rate, especially since once this man gets out his employment is likely going to be minimum wage work? Who is really penalized by this? The taxpayers are penalized more than anyone, as well as this man's children.

The child support enforcement program was intended to pay back the federal government for welfare payments they were making to the States to operate their social welfare programs. What is odd, is that the program has morphed into a cumbersome and bloated bureucratic machine that doesn't benefit society, only those that are directly employed by the system. If anything, the programs are encouraging more out of wedlock births, more fights over money, and more dissolutions of marriage because it is now financially beneficial to separate. The government is simply glorifying the bad behaviors of society while punishing the tax payer. Read the below article and tell me where the value to society is.

Man to serve time for back child support

From Wire Reports

A 51-year-old Kosciusko man was sentenced to 10 years in prison with eight suspended and ordered to pay $68,215.87 in back child support. [This man will likely no longer be as marketable when he gets out of prison, therefore reducing his earnings potential and contribution to society dramatically.]

Dennis Kern was sentenced Wednesday, April 30, by Oktibbeha County Circuit Court Judge Lee Howard on charges of refusing to provide for the support and maintenance of his children.

The case was prosecuted by Mississippi's attorney general. [This AG should have been focusing on serious crimes.]

The court ordered Kern to start paying the owed child support payments 60 days after his release from prison. [Unlikely because most employers will not want ex-cons working for them.]

He will be on supervised probation once he's out. [More Fees for the System]

If our fine state is willing to send a parent that is behind but is currently paying to jail, who benefits?

What about the custodial parents who become
accustomed to receiving weekly payments that now stop while we -- the
public -- become responsible through public assistance?

Does
the public that is now paying to house the "deadbeat parent" in jail
benefit? At a minimum of $30 a day, which I'm sure is conservative, it
will cost us $10,800 to house one person a year. If a person is two
years at $20,000 and given a two-year sentence, they are now $40,000
behind and the public has paid almost $22,000 to house them in jail.

Do
the children that have lost a parent for that two years and get to say,
"My dad can't take me to Cub Scouts because he's in jail," benefit?

Do employers who lose employees because they are now in jail benefit?

The Kalamazoo Gazette, August 27, 2007, published a letter to the editor from Darrick Scott-Farnsworth. Darrick Scott-Farnsworth is the Executive Director of A Child's Right, an organization that supports the concept of equal custody and equal parenting.

I have personally met Mr. Farnsworth and value his opinions. He poses an interesting argument, and his argument is certainly well-supported by the facts regarding Michigan's, and this Nation's, various policies over the family. Most of the policies regarding family in America are focused on failing welfare services and creative schemes for states to acquire more federal funding.

Michigan fails children, fails parents, and essentially cannibalizes its' population for the survival of various bureaucracies.

The funding mechanisms behind state programs largely contribute to longterm negative consequences, like single-parent households and multiple-generations of welfare participants living off the tax rolls, instead of positive outcomes and participant productivity contributing to the tax rolls. We need to reshape this Nation's welfare policies to become entirely gender neutral and eliminate the rolls associated with the sexes. Making rolls equal will certainly be a step in the right direction that will force self-accountability and productivity on both sides of the "great divide."

Custody changes could help women

Some feminists and politicians complain about there being a pay gap between men and women, but fight tooth and nail against actually promoting any legislation that would truly do anything about it. It has been common knowledge for years that women, on average, do not make the same amount as men doing the same type of work because women tend to take more time off to raise children.

It is also common knowledge that children are denied equal time with both of their fit parents when it comes to custody disputes, with the majority of cases and custody time being awarded to mothers.

This denying of parenting time to fathers exacerbates the continuing pay gap between sexes because fathers are being coerced into maintaining full-time employment to make ends meet and pay bloated child support.

Furthermore, the government has fostered the overall belief that it is more important for men to work and earn then it is for women.

We must get the laws changed to recognize parents are equal and that children need both of their parents to develop and thrive. We must raise the importance of the father in the home by having a presumption of equal child custody law.

Lary Holland discusses the Critical Issues with Studio 1714, located in the heart of Flint's beautiful East Side.

Lary Holland discusses critical issues surrounding Equal Parenting, House Bill 4564 (HB4564), and Why Equal Custody hasn't happened yet with Studio 1714's Flint Talk / Flint Video Crew. Representative Brenda Clack is currently holding House Bill 4564 hostage, which will be discussed in upcoming shows. View the first of several discussions that are going to be released over the next several weeks regarding the Critical Issues surrounding the State of Michigan's policies over the family.

"The more you learn about it the more you hate your State," Steve Brewer, co-host of Studio 1714's Show from the heart of Flint's beautiful East Side.

"What people don't understand is the Government doesn't create anything, doesn't create finances, it just takes them from someone else... to continue what they are doing is going to have much more of a human tragedy behind it." John Wilson, co-host.

It's the silence and indifference of the good people, led only by the vitriolic actions of our governments, that are harming our children. Join with me to help change what is happening to our nation's children. Let's reign in free for all welfare programs like Title IV-D and help re-establish that all people are created equally.

While recently in the hospital recovering from a massive explosion and some burns I received a phone call from Jane Spies of the National Family Justice Association,

The NFJA's greatest goal is to help offer positive solutions to some of society's most difficult, yet most important, problems relevant to families and children. They see through the Title IV-D Money Machine Game!

(NFJA.ORG), in which we both discussed the current policy over the family at the federal and state level and how Federal Title IV funding stands in the way of equal parenting initiatives. She has been following some of my writings and she offered up some of her ideas, which I certainly also agreed with. The bottom line is that the National Family Justice Association also sees right through the Title IV-D Money Machine Smokescreen.

You can visit the National Family Justice Association website at http://www.nfja.org and you can obtain more information about necessary changes to Title IV of the Social Security Act at http://www.nationwideblueprint.com. It's time to reign in Federal Free for All Welfare Spending that is being abused by the States for revenue generation and bring programs back in line with supporting the needy not the greedy!

This is only one of hundreds of organizations that are coming together with a unified message that the "Government has come into our homes and we want them out!" This is also just one of the reasons that hundreds of thousands of parents, grandparents, and taxpayers are coming together on August 18, 2007 (my birthday) on the Mall in Washington D.C.

His support doesn't stop there and he supports issues relating to equal access to educational records and many of his own piers regarding the approach to equal custody.

"Children need a balanced diet of a mother and a father" says Minister Ronald Smith of Grand Rapids, MI., and the bottom line is that both Pat and myself agree. We are all working together to reverse the damage that our government has caused to the family.

Because of dedication from individuals like Pat McElligott, House Bill 4564 begin the forward trend back to Constitutional law with it being a "self-evident fact that all [individuals] are created equally" and that parenting is a Constitutionally protected right not to be infringed upon by the State unless there is SUFFICIENT proven reasons for the State to do so.

The current reason that the state uses is simply because it is profitable for the state to break up families through their own voluntary compliance of the state with federal grant programs. (See http://www.nationwideblueprint.com for more information about Title IV-D of the Social Security Act) With many individuals help through the state and nation, such a reason will no longer be acceptable!
