Lary Holland sends along this press release:
Oakland County, Michigan â€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€Ã¢â‚¬â€- Children’s and Parent’s Rights organizations from across the nation are scheduled to descend 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 aims to bring solutions to crises which are affecting American families 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.â€Â
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 who 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 “Right 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.
I don’t think a protest is going to elicit anything but the bird from the idiots who “own” your chuldren.
I do, however, think that a few hangings might do the trick.
Is it wrong to wish they do it naked? That always seems to draw more attention to teh cause. I mean, what’s the use of having a demonstration without a little voyeurism going on? Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and a proper bicycle seat!
For decades government has slowly eroded the rights of parents and families. The time has come to stand up and demand justice. UNITED WE STAND!
terrorists attacked are families on 911 and we went to war. why is what the family courts are doing any different. they are directly attacking are children. when your out in public and someone tries to take your kid you will fight till the death to save your child. why is it different in the family court. there once was a time not long ago this misuse and abuse would not have been tolerated, we would have been seeing judges on the end of a rope. our government was never meant to be stronger than the people, and im afraid that it is now much stronger than the people. protests are good and should continue, however it may be time to consider a more direct militant approach. if there is anything in this world worth killing for it is are children.
There should be Millions of people at this event. If you have not experienced the corrupt Family Court System in this country there is a Great chance you will. Look at our movement as sort of an insurance policy. Get the laws changed now before your soon to be ex reaps the huge incentives the government is about to bestow on them. All the ex has to do is want a divorce and you have just become a visitor in your childrens lives. Fight now because after you have lost everything including your kids, you will be labeled as someone who just does’nt want to pay child support. Shame on the elected officials and attorney’s who profit off your children and foam at the mouth everytime you spend the money to fight in court. My kids were kidnapped while I was at work on a Saturday morning. I agree with Josh. If that Judge tried that while I was home the outcome would have been very different. I would not miss this event for anything. Invest in your childrens future BE THERE TOO!
I was born in America, that at one time meant something. It meant I had RIGHTS. I have found over the past few years our rights dwindle every day. They have taken our jobs, our money, our freedom to express ourselves. Now they want the one thing that God gave us, our children.
The DC Festival for 2008 is not an event, it is THE event. We talk all day long but we need to back that up.Can anyone think of a better reason to take a road trip? You would find a way to go to race or a sporting event, ect. Please find a way to stand up for your kids. If we don’t do it, it won’t get done. Show me what you are made of. Lets all meet in DC.
I believe that the feminists are for the Most blame, walking up and down the halls of congress demanding that women be given more rights than Men and Fathers. And putting laws into place, like VAWA bill that descriminates against Men and Fathers, and gives women and mothers choices to dominate
over Men and Fathers, and to take OUR children from us, and make us pay. This kind of control Must stop. Fathers Must take back control over HIS children, and be able to have the same rights as women, and mothers. Mothers must take responsability, and NOT have the option to either abort the child, or give the child up for adoption, they should NOT be allowed this. This is definately Descrimination against Men and Fathers!!!Down with feminism, and down with ALL of the commercials that portray Men and Fathers as stupid, lazy, deadbeats, and unresponsable. I am for Men and Fathers rights. So stand up Fathers, and dont let the feminists push us around anymore!!!
The time is now,Aug.15-16,Washington D.C. for Every One to come to the aide of all our children.
For way too many years our government has been removing children from loving parents and using them as their money profit maker since AFDC began via the New Deal which was instituted back in the late 30’s.Reform of AFDC came about naming it, Welfare Acts,then added Title 42 – Chapter 7 (Social Security) – sub-chapter IV – Grants to states for aid and services to needy families with children and for child welfare services -Part D: Child Support and Establishment of Paternity,Part E:Federal Payment for Foster Care and Adoption Assistance.Payments to their recipients based on only a one parent house hold and non married parents of children.Our own government found that this is a profitable business for them.By performing this they manufactured laws statutes for states/judges to use in all of our nations family courts establishing custody and creating what they call a Custodial and Non Custodial parent.In order for the states to receive federal dollars,incentives each state had to adopt the policy and require child support payments via dollars from the non custodial parent who become just a visitor to their own child(ren).The states based incentives created these single parent homes and/or forced removing children from loving parents based on hearsay and placing them under state control, placed into foster care and then out for adoption.They have No checks and balance,they do not believe in Equal Parenting,they are enjoying their business profit so they keep on bitterly defending their plunder, ref:The Law Defends Plunder http://bastiat.org/en/the_law.html , The person who profits from this law will complain bitterly,
If you have not experienced family court yet,you will, and when you do you will realize what goes on.
Now is the time for all of us to reinstate our We The People,Constitution,Bill Of Rights, checks and balance by presenting ourselves In Person to them on their front steps in our nations capital Aug.15-16,2008 and inform them all that they need to respect and defend
our protected right of parenthood.
As everyone comes together for this National Civil Rights Movement I can already see so many people willing to come together and make this a part of history. It is infinitely more valuable to fight for the rights of others, than to fight for your own. Remember that my friends. Together we will fight for the rights of each other and we cannot be stopped. So many groups have so much in common with what we all promote that it is time to march on top of Washington DC and carry the message. If you want to get involved, click the link to the website and hit “GET INVOLVED” and just pick something, because if you are able to read this… you are able to Get Involved!
I echo the person up above I used to be proud to be an American, because that meant that I had freedom well no more. We HAVE to stand up and FIGHT for our KIDS!!! Our kids are being damaged in foster care. This is NOT about Father’s rights/mother’s rights/grandparent’s rights it is about the RIGHT OF THE CHILDREN to have BOTH parents and extended family involved in their lives. It is about the right that we have as families to not have the government stealing our children just for the money that they can make! If we are gonna be heard we have to put all our indiviual agendas aside and march on D.C. for the CHILDREN! The children who don’t know their families because they were stolen from their mom’s and dads , the children who don’t know their father’s because the mother’s lied about them, for the grandparents who want to be in the children’s lives and are not allowed, for all the children who are lost and alone in the system where there is an aunt, uncle, sibling, grandparent, cousin who would be ready and willing to take them in instead they are with strangers. For the GOOD foster parents who do it for the kids and NOT the money, who are falsely accused, because they dare to speak up against the system! People we need to wake up do we really think that if this doesn’t stop that it will just go away? What about those 400 kids seized in TX because of religious beliefs? What is next if you homeschool your kids they will be taken? ( that already happens some places), if you temporarily unemployed and you have hit hard times your kids will be taken? ( this already happens way to much), If you drive a car that is more than 3 years old your kids will be taken? If you don’t have a PS3 in your home your kids will be taken? See how ridiculous it gets? ( I was actually told by a social wrecker that my home wasn’t fit, because my kids didn’t have a TV and nintendo in their bedroom) Remember in Nazi Germany Hitler did not just sieze power he started with laws that changed the way the government worked and then he took control. If we don’t watch it that will happen to us. Remember what Martin Luther King said, “all that is takes for injustice to prevail is for good men to do nothing” well people here is our chance to do SOMETHING for the children stand up and fight for ALL Children please!!!!
Blessings,
Misty
As the grand father for a multi generation family, I wish your Rally all the success in the world. Our country was developed by Family Generations working and living together. Yes, children need both parents, if possible. But one must not forget about other family members working together to make a stronger family. I have the vision the “Parent Raise Families, Not Laws. I even vision Families uprising against the Big Business of Government. I am also the webmaster of NFPCAR-National Foster Parents Coalition for Allegation Reform. http://rscraps.com/NFPCAR/ Yes, this was started by foster parents, who were falsely accused. But we grown with bio family members and many others. We are helping each other in a time of need and offering suggestion for Family Reform against Goaliath, Government Family Agencies. God Bless, GranPa Chuck
For years fathers fought alone. For years families abused by CPS fought alone. For years foster parents accused of abuse fought alone. The only group the government has recognized so far is protective mothers.
Our government can not assist one group if it takes rights away from any other group, in this case fathers. And fighting each other is counterproductive.
EVERY group deserves truth, justice and equality. Every group deserves due process. Every group deserves a government in control, of itself! I thank God that all other groups are coming together to demand their family rights.

CIVIL RIGHTS EXECUTIVE
DC FESTIVAL 2008
Whoa dudes, we’re on your side.
Please make an effort to be in Washington, DC for this event. I don’t think there are many people in the US who haven’t seen the Family Court system destroy a family they either know or are related to. What happened in Texas can happen to you. Family Court driven by femifascists, corrupt and greedy judges, money hungry lawyers and malicious custodial parents are destroying America one family at a time. Stand up and be heard. Stand up for shared parenting between fit parents, demand penalties for making false allegations, demand a stop to the organized and systematic criminalization of fathers, and support the dismantling of the support enforcement system. Give us back our constitutional rights and our rights to due process.
You are exactly right Paul! What happened in Texas, 400 children swooped up because they were associated with a routine type but false police report… The government knew it did not have such authority but acted anyways. It took many people fighting back to get those children back. Be in Washington DC to make your public statement! Also, you can check out the Get Involved section of the website http://www.dcfestival2008.com and choose any one of those things to do to help… the best things… they are free in life.

Children need to see both parents equal amounts of time.
DCFESTIVAL2008. Be there: http//www.dcfestival2008.com
JUSTICE IS COMING!
The U.S. taxpayer has been taken for decades now that the father in the family can be replaced with another male or the mother’s choosing. There is a report online that the taxpayer is taken by the single parent household and unwed births to the tune of $112 billion a year.
If that is not enough you see in Gloucester Massachusetts (Although the pregnancy pact cannot be found to be confirmed among seventeen high school young women) the teen pregnancy rate skyrocketed from three births to 12 or 17 pregnancies. The school has an on campus Day Care Center. In Flint, Michigan there is the same set up in a Job Crops Center. They need to put a Day Care Center in the school because of the increased births by unwed mothers in the job training program. These teens are not your best and brightest.
In Michigan the High School drop out cost the state taxpayers $2.5 billion dollars a year. This is both state and federal funds. It cost the state taxpayers $2 billion a year to incarcerate the inmates in the Department of Corrections. Most of the inmates have an eight grade education or GED that they may received in prison and they are more likely to come from mother headed household than a father headed household.
This is not a Michigan only crisis. The state of Colorado is experiencing the same in rate of decline in High School graduates. The city of Los Angles is experiencing the same with is high school graduates. Although there are more enrolled there are fewer graduating. The city of New York similar experiences the same results as the Michigan, Colorado and Los Angles schools. The U.S. use to have one of the high rates of high school graduates. Not any more, 17 of thenation’s largest cities had high school graduation rates lower than 50 percent. Colorado leads the nation in children in poverty, a 73% increase since 2000. They have no legislation for Joint Physical Cusotdy as well.
In my family I expected to receive a High School diploma. In my step son who’s mother (my ex-wife) allowed him to fail two grades and switched his school in order that he not feel bad about failing. He went to summer school every year to try and pass the grade he was in, but apparently he played around instead of doing his classwork. My daughter on the other hand has between a 3.5 to 3.8 GPA. I told her “C’s” where for average students and you are not average.
Society on one hand is telling teens that drinking and having sex is the thing to do and show that you are an adult. The example of this is a television show called “One Tree Hill.†My daughter told me about this show which is a teen soap opera. Television has too much an effect on the young. The teen parties had drinking and an open bar at the parent’s home like they were adults. I did not mention the sex.
The model should be marry the mother, buy a house and raise your children. Instead groups like the Family Section of the State Bar of Michigan and the National Organization of Women will oppose legislation to make both parents equal in raising their children. The National Organization of Woman fights for Equal Marriage in other words, same-sex marriage. This is not biblical, but against the principles this country has formed on. Therefore all good father will fight for what is the future generations in this country and the DC Festival 2008 is a continued expression of the right to be a parent against the forces that try to weaken the bedrock of the family. One father, one mother and the children of that union.
I would like to thank the people that are getting these events started. They are HEROS. I am a divorced mother who worked everything out with my ex no friend of the court involved but my fiance is not so lucky, I have been by his side for over four years dealing with an ex wife who uses our court systems to her advantage to the fullest. They allow her to lie, fabricate, and manipulate stories. And she finds enjoyment in it as she posts it on her myspace all the time.
I still sit in shock how this is possible that a parent is aloud to keep a fit and willing parent away from their children. It is disgraceful how we our suppose to live in the land of the free but yet our God given right to be a parent can be taken away from us and a dollar amount put on our childrens heads. Its funny what the power of money can do, it can put our childrens emotional health and needs at the bottom of the barrel. We vote these people in that make these choices and we need to get them out!! We’re mad and we’re not going to take it!!!
The Name of the report I stated in a earlier post is “The Cost of Divorce and Unwed Births.” There is another report by the U.S. Department of Justice released in the last thirty days titled “Girl Study Group, Understanding and Responding to Girl’s Delinquency.” as predicted in another U.S. Dept. of Justice report, “Female Offenders in the Juvenile Justice System” the single parent household is producing more female juvenile offenders and sooner or later they will show up in the adult criminal offender system. The rate of young females involved in criminal offenses are increasing at a higher level than males. If these young people are not getting the lessons at home to be resposible citizens they will get them in the Department of Corrections, which the taxpayers are paying for. It is far less expense raise the children at home with two parents or equal parents as we the taxpayers have to fight for Joint Physical Custody. While every father will not want this those that do should not be prevented to do so. However the special interest groups including the so-called Michigan Friend of the Court, Family Section of the Michigan State Bar, the so-called domestic violence industry (which with not admit that the U.S Department of Justice was reported that domestic violence has declined between the years 1993- 2004); nor admit that children have a much greater risk of being abused by the mother’s household guests than the father, will continue to oppose legislation to reduce the cost to all taxpayers for the government to intervene in incarcaration and justice programs. Our child have enough problems with people on the Internet with its sexual predators who use vehicles like Craig’s List to find young victims. If fathers don’t stand up for their children who will? That is the reason we fight and attend and show up at events like the DC Festival in August 2008.
For countless victims of government oppression against both families and children, the family rights movement’s scheduled “DC Festival 2008”, August 15th & 16th, across the street from the Nation’s Capitol, couldn’t come at a better time.
With the timely arrival of the Equal Parenting Bike Trek cyclists, in conjunction with featured speakers from across the country, and on a variety of important topics, plus live musical entertainment, awards and other ceremonies, numerous organizations represented at their official booths all around the park grounds, and an atmosphere of festivity in support of parental rights, a formal parade March on Saturday afternoon, from the Festival location, through the National Mall, and finally to the White House, the expected crowd of 4000-5000 strong at DC Festival 2008 will be directly positioned for making a huge and dramatic impact, quickening the change events for real reform in America.
Come join the amazing festival atmosphere in downtown DC this August, and catch a rideshare with others going from your area if needed. All details on this MEGA event are developing fast here:

Already officially supported by the United Civil Rights Councils of America (http://unitedcivilrights.org) and several other leading organizations, with more support being added daily!
Do NOT miss this event. The time HAS come. Be there!

A tip of the hat to these freedom riders who are biking to DC for their children and our children.
Good luck to the guys riding bikes to DC. It is time that the people of this country wake up to the fact that the government is running wild and taking away their god given rights to be loving parents each and every day in our family courts.
It’s time to end this unjust system … for our children and our future.
First and foremost, I want to personally thank those that took the time so far to comment on this soon to be history civil rights events. Political candidates, Organizations, Agencies, and individuals are sending in letters of support from around the country. This is a great sign. People have had enough and are willing to put pen to paper to help support an event of this size. Be sure to check out the “GET INVOLVED” section of dcfestival2008.com and pick one thing and do it well. You are all heroes when you take action against a government that has otherwise forgotten that it is the one that has limits.
Of all threats to the American family there is none greater than the institution in this country called Family Court where defendants are routinely denied due process and judicial discretion supercedes those rights guaranteed to citizens of the United States by our Constitution. Where States profit by essentially kidnapping children by excluding one fit and caring parent. Children have a right to the caring and nurturing of BOTH fit parents! The standard of Equal Parental Rights must be upheld and encouraged by government and without provable evidence of parental misconduct equal custody should be the accepted norm. If you have not yet experienced Family Court then there is a high probability that you or someone you know will have their civil liberties trampled in the near future. This is a system that desperately needs to be changed for the benefit of all children and families.
This event is going to take the nation by storm. We need to unite to become one voice to be heard and make changes in the kidnapping system. I will be there and I would expect that if every family who was effected came we would have an overload of people at this event. The time is now. Many people say they want change well here is your chance. Do something be there. The more people come out the more talk will stir in Washington. It’s time to make them walk on egg shells the way they have done to us in our own homes. It’s an election year which means they will be effected by our vote!
