Minister Ronald Smith is the founder of Children Need Both Parents, Inc. Ronald Smith has lit Michigan on fire and given the equal parenting rights movement a much needed boost of energy and passion. Ronald Smith is also the author of the book "Cheated". He is someone I consider a very close friend.

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!
