Angelo Lobo, director/producer of Support? System Down, has experienced this first-hand and describes this as a basic human rights issue and an attack on liberties provided by the Constitution!
Defenders of the Constitution, Libertarians, Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty activists - PLEASE READ CLOSELY!
Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty activists should be all over this one!! The first step in destroying a liberty based society is to weaken the family unit. Read Common Sense Revisited and you will understand my point better.
I am surprised that the Ron Paul and Campaign for Liberty folks have not picked up on how POWERFUL it would be to point out that the systematic attack on the American family is step one in reducing liberties in a free society. Let's just hope they see this post and incorporate this in their messaging.
Justice O'Connor, speaking for the Court in Troxel v. Granville, 527 U.S. 1069 (1999):
"The Fourteenth Amendment provides that no State shall 'deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law.' We have long recognized that the Amendment's Due Process Clause like its Fifth Amendment counterpart, 'guarantees more than fair process.' The Clause includes a substantive component that 'provides heightened protection against governmental interference with certain fundamental rights and liberty interest" and "the liberty interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children-is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interest recognized by this Court."
One of the best tools to expose the corruption of America's family courts and the attack on the American family is an upcoming documentary titled "Support? System Down. Most educated people are not aware of the fact that family courts PROFIT by creating a non-custodial parent after a divorce. They also profit by setting child support at the highest possible level; even if it destroys the non-custodial parent. Learn the shocking truth of Title IV-D and how the profit-motivated family court systems are attacking our fundamental liberties, our families and the constitution.
Support? System Down is a high quality, shocking documentary which outlines the attack on families, liberties, and the Constitution. Please review the incredible quality of this movie by viewing the four trailers . My personal favorites are "It's About The Kids" and "Corruption".
Ron Paul, Campaign for Liberty, Equal Parenting and Family Court Reform activists should place their support behind this powerful documentary. The Director/Producer of Support? System Down needs to raise additional funds to mass produce the final cut on DVD.
This can only by done by:
1) Buying the Sneak Peek DVD or an awesome looking T-Shirt
2) Making a donation at the documentary's website.
By helping in these two ways, you can help bring this documentary movie onto a mass produced DVD. It is vital to get this message out to the public and Support? System Down is a powerful way to do just that.
Buy the Sneak Peek DVD now and be sure to enter the code childright at checkout for two dollars off! Mail a copy to your elected officials, a judge, a child custody caseworker, your local child support office, etc.
**Ron Paul, Equal Parenting, Campaign for Liberty and Family Court Reform activists please forward this blog post to all that you know. Even better - blog about Support? System Down and link to this post with the two dollars off code**

A mother and her two children lived with a decomposing corpse on their only toilet for close to two months. On the advice of the mother's spiritual leader they were told to pray for the corpse to come back to life. If this happened in Michigan it just might be one of the few instances where the Friend of the Court might make a recommendation in the father's favor for child custody. All jokes aside that attempt to drive a point about the significant gender bias in Michigan's child custody cases - this is one sick momma.
The mother told the children that if they were discovered that the children would have to get jobs and go to public schools because the "grandmother" paid all the bills. Praying near the toilet for "grandma" to come back to life would somehow bring her back to life. Here is a thought for mom - GET A JOB and stop expecting handouts!
The damage to the children will be permanent. How could anyone recover from witnessing something this awful? Tammy Lewis and the so called spiritual leader are being held in jail for felony charges of child abuse. Why was this not caught sooner? What warning signs could have been caught in order to help the children?
Daddy Hunger - The Award Winning Documentary
Ray Upchurch, filmmaker of "Daddy Hunger", states “I never want to see another child fatherless and with a DADDY HUNGER challenging their ability to be happy and function with positive self-esteem and confidence. Look at the growing prison population, school systems, and communities. Generations and generations of fatherless children are suffering. The cycle has got to stop!”
Let us not forget another source which makes children fatherless in America - Federal Incentives Make Children Fatherless
