A Child's Right will soon become A Child's Right, Inc.

There will be several fund raising events to help A Child's Right raise the funds to fully complete our 501c3 application.  The process has already started but we will soon need additional funds to meet several federal requirements for a 501c3 non-profit corporation. 

2008 will be an exciting year for this organization.  In 2008 A Child's Right will also form a much closer alliance with Children Need Both Parents, Inc which is led by Minister Ronald Smith.  A Child's Right will also once again be a major supporter of the upcoming 2008 Equal Parenting Bike Trek.  There will be three cyclists this year:  Robb MacKenzie, Robert Pedersen and Attorney Brian Downs, Esq.  We are very confident that the 2008 Equal Parenting Bike Trek will obtain even more press and media coverage compared to the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek!!  We were very impressed with the media coverage of the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek.

Thank you to all who have contributed to the success of A Child's Right, DaddyBlogger and the Equal Parenting Bike Trek over 2007.  Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Special Thanks to Darrick Scott-Farnsworth, the Executive Director of A Child's Right, and a major force of change in child custody laws! Darrick is an incredible leader, advocate and personal friend.  Thanks also to:  All ACR volunteers, Paul and Elaine Pedersen, Dr. Eric Pedersen, Marc Pedersen, Sgt.

The Liberator does an excellent job documenting the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek

The Fall 2007 issue of "The Liberator" which is published by the ACFC did a phenomenal job in reporting the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek with Robert Pedersen and Robb MacKenzie!  Several full page spreads with color were dedicated to this incredible story.  We are very thankful for the incredible job that The Liberator staff did on this event.  Each issue of this newspaper seems to improve by leaps and bounds!  You can order your copy of this newspaper through the ACFC.

2008 Equal Parenting Bike Trek Is Already Picking Up Momentum. Simply Amazing!

Twice as many sponsors! Twice as many commitments to donate! An additional cyclist added to the team! More advertising of the event! Two billboards to promote the event - locations are Battle Creek and Lansing. We are anticipating roughly 3-4 times the amount of media coverage!

DaddyBlogger.com Two Week Pause. WHAT!?!?

UPDATES

DaddyBlogger.com will be taking a two week pause starting Monday November 5th.  We have decided to do this for the sake of preparing for a potential lengthy and costly child custody case for Robert.  Those of you who have been following this knew that we were suppossed to get an answer to our proposal this past week.  We are assuming that the answer is no to Robert's proposal because the other party is now requesting to respond in writing which buys more time.  It seems that going to court is now inevitable because Robert offered everything upfront that he could.  In fact, many have told us that the accomodations we make are way too generous for the case we have.  We will not take such advice because the long-term goal is to make long-term peace for both families involved and that is the reason why Robert offered everything he could upfront. 

Because of this we will not be accepting a counteroffer; only the essential terms of our proposal with some minimal flexibility.  Since our time this week will be dedicated to the final stages of preparation for going to court we will be taking a two week pause on DaddyBlogger.com.  No this is not a joke.  We are very confident that if we must go to court that we will win; our team is excellent and we have prepared for far too long.  However, going back to court is the last thing that Robert and I want, especially with our baby boy on the way! 

So -

Please join us and pray for long-term peace for both families and the children.  We are sorry to disappoint every one over the next two weeks by not posting anything new, however we anticipate the next two weeks to be very intense from a preparation and time management standpoint.

We will have one single posting during this time in regards to promoting the upcoming Van Buren Equal Parening Symposium.  There are many speakers scheduled such as:  1) Minister Ronald Smith 2) Robert Pedersen 3) Jim Semerad 4) Carol Rhodes and many others!!  The media will be present at this event and the attendance is already looking very positive.  So stay tuned for this.

----------------------------------------------------------

2008 Equal Parenting Bike Trek Update

1) More than double of the sponsors already when compared to 2007.  Several are quite large and one is a magazine!!

2) We have obtained two billboards to help promote this event - One will be located on Columbia Ave in Battle Creek, Michigan and the other will be located on Cedar St in Lansing Michigan.

3)  We have added an additional cyclist - Attorney Brian Downs

4) We anticipate the media coverage to be almost double in scope including several national sources which we have been working on for some time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Did your court case go bad?  Want to reclaim your rights as a parent?  Do your kids miss you too?  The well organized and funded nationwide launch of class-action lawsuits will soon be upon us.  This is something that has been methodically planned for several years.  Please consider adding your name to the class action lawsuit against your county to restore your parental rights.  Visit the national page for more information.  If you live in Michigan visit here.  Congratulations to Ronald Smith for being added to the national board of directors!  This is another page you might want to visit for more information. 

2008 will be the year that changes everything - an even more impressive Family Preservation Rally in D.C., Michigan Equal Parenting Bill progression and the launch of the class-action lawsuits nationwide!!

Always remember - It is a child's God given, fundamental right to be loved, guided, educated and nurtured by both fit and willing parents - to deny this is wrong. 

Richar Farr of KRights Radio on Ronald Smith's TalkShow. Discussion on Undistributed Collected Child Support

Yet another excellent show for Ronald Smith on TalkShoe! This weeks guest was Richar Farr with KRights Radio. Robin Denison joins Ronald Smith as co-host. The topic of discussion is undistributed collected child support - so what happens to the money? Listen to this highly informative and energetic interview which exposes corruption within the child support agencies. Zero download time!

Also, if you have not visited KRights Radio with Richar Farr lately you will be surprised with the numerous changes and all of them make KRights Radio just that much more powerful!  A must visit!

Fathers4Justice, Equal Parenting Bike Trek and CRISPE YouTube Video

We received quite a few compliments on the editing of this video on our main video page for the Equal Parenting Bike Trek so we thought we would post it again on DaddyBlogger.  Fathers4Justice, Equal Parenting Bike Trek and CRISPE swarm a PA courthouse!

Fox 17 WXMI Written Story on the Equal Parenting Bike Trek

We will be slowly adding more picture and more of the media coverage of the Equal Parenting Bike Trek that we have not had an opportunity to place on DaddyBlogger.com or Cycling4Children.com.  This will be a slow process because the amount of video, photos and documented media coverage is still overwhelming  at this point.  Slowly we will get it up!

Following is the written story Fox News 17 WXMI did on Robert and the Equal Parenting Bike Trek:
