Jim Semerad Sounds Off On The James Rodesiler Paternity Case

Semerad, whose group supports McManus' bill, said the "intact families" argument assumes children are best off not knowing the truth.

"We are denying these children their heritage and, in some cases, their inheritance," Semerad said.

"If the woman is committing adultry and having a baby, the marriage has basically gone into the ditch, anyway," he said.

Michigan American Family Association Supports Michigan House Resolution NN (2008)

The American Family Association of Michigan has confirmed their support for Michigan House Resolution NN (2008).

The AFA Michigan joins a growing coalition of both Michigan and National based organizations that support the many benefits of Michigan House Resolution NN (2008).

Michigan House Joint Resolution NN would lead to a constitutional amendment recognizing a parent's fundamental right to direct the care, education, and upbringing of their children. The context of this right is larger than just custody cases as it would apply to intact families and all sorts of scenarios (health care, educational & religious practices just to name a few).

Who is Minister Ronald Smith?

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.

Documentary Exposes Family Court Corruption in America

Support?  System Down.  View the shocking trailers of this documentary which exposes the corruption of family court systems throughout America.  Family Courts compared to the mafia?  Fathers killing themselves because they were forced by family court systems to go from a full-time father to seeing their children only 4-6 days a month.  This is court sponsored child abuse!

A Child's Right is an official sponsor of this moving documentary.  We ask that you please buy a t-shirt for this documentary as a means of showing your support and helping the filmmaker.  Only $13, high quality and an ultra-cool design.  Do your part in helping this documentary reach the masses in America by buying a fundraising T-Shirt now!

Dance4Equality - A Must Visit Equal Parenting Rights Website and Organization

Dance 4 Equality was established in 2006 and is dedicated to the message promoting equality and fairness. This movement came into light as the founder, through experiences with a biased and unfair court system, has pledged to advocate not only for the equal protection of fathers, but for the rights of children, parents, men and women, and all races.

Dance4Equality is comprised of individuals and families that look to inspire and advocate for fairness through the powerful and spiritual movement of dance. We were very excited to learn about this organization.  United we all will end this madness!

House Concurrent Resolution 241 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 59

The United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate have introduced House Concurrent Resolution 241 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 59 respectively.  This is further proof that our elected officials are finally starting to hear our concerns.  House Concurrent Resolution 241 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 59 both express support for enacting joint custody laws for fit and willing parents.  This is another trend of positive news for those who want to end the current state of child abuse that is occuring all across the United States.

It is a child's fundamental right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated EQUALLY by both fit and willing parents.  To deny this is wrong.  To deny this is CHILD ABUSE!  It is sad that some ex-spouses have learned to hate their ex more than they love their children.

Keep in mind that these are federal resolutions and will add further strength to state level bills such as Michigan House Bill 4564 and Michigan House Resolution NN (2008).  Remember our cause is justified and the moral one.

Legislation is just one way to obtain our goal.  Another is through litigation against every county and family court system in America.  An excellent example of this is the well organized United Civil Rights Councils of America which is planning a well coordinated class action lawsuit against every county in America.

Another Equal Parenting Rights Activist Soon to Join A Child's Right

Anthony Caius Pedersen will be born literally any day now!  We are so excited we can barely contain ourselves! 

Angela and Robert Pedersen

P.S. Rumor has it that Anthony Caius Pedersen will be born with full battle gear as a patriot of smaller government and Equal Parenting Rights!  Government has no place in families.

Children have a fundamental and God-given right to be loved, guided, nurtured and educated EQUALLY by both fit and willing parents.  To deny this is wrong. Six days a month is child abuse.

Delete, of Michigan Father's Rights Coalition, educates Mike Huckabee on benefits of Equal Parenting Rights

Michigan activists are ON FIRE!  All across Michigan Equal Parenting Advocates are educating elected officials and Presidential candidates about the benefits of Equal Parenting Rights.  Delete of Michigan Father's Rights Coalition is seen below educating Mike Huckabee about how children benefit from equal parenting rights.  Delete was a critical part of the 2007 Equal Parenting Bike Trek.

Mike Saxton, a district advocate for A Child's Right and Dads and Moms of Michigan, spoke directly with Mike Huckabee.

Here is Mr. Saxton's account: "At a press conference today at Demmer Corp. in Lansing Michigan I had the opportunity to discuss shared parenting with Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.

First I asked if he supported the proposed "Family Preservation and Reconciliation Act" to which he replied he was unfamiliar. I was able to provide him with volume 34 #3 of The Liberator which contains the text of the proposed Act and also a brochure from Dads & Moms of Michigan.

Second, I explained that there were over 1 million non-custodial parents in Michigan and over 25 million in the US; if you were elected President what would you do you ensure that children have equal access to both fit parents, regardless of marital status? He replied that he supports shared parenting.

Third, we discussed Michigan's shared parenting bill HB 4564 and I asked if he would endorse it. He replied that he hadn't read it but that he does support shared parenting. Rep. Rick Jones was also present at the press conference and in response to my request has forwarded a copy of HB 4564 to Governor Huckabee's office.

I suggest that we all ask our Representatives and Senators to ask the candidates their stance on shared parenting, and for an endorsement of our HB 4564, as they accompany them on the campaign trail. Please check the evening news for coverage of the press conference."

Note the excellent use of the ACFC newspaper "The Liberator"!

Ned Holstein, M.D., M.S. Delivers 300 Falsly Accused Fathers' Stories

Incredible job by Ned Holstein, M.D., M.S. and his organization Fathers and Families!  300 Falsely Accused Fathers' Stories were hand delivered to Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney.  See the full story on Glenn Sacks' blog. 

We also appreciate Glenn's story mentioning the activity of A Child's Right at a recent Romney Rally in Battle Creek, Michigan.  See story below.

False Accusations of PPO violations and domestic violence are often used during child custody disputes as a way to remove the father permanently from his children.  This is common practice for certain women with personality disorders.  They learn to hate their ex-spouse more than they love their children.  To use this tactic is sick and another form of child abuse.

Denmark Makes Joint Custody Mandatory In Most Cases. America Supports Child Abuse.

America has an opportunity to learn from failures in Europe.  Many countries are creating mandatory joint custody (certain exclusions apply) laws and are becoming more family friendly.  Children have a fundamental, God-given right to be loved, educated, guided and nurtured by both fit and willing parents.  To deny this right is child abuse.

LAW SPARKS BOOM IN JOINT CUSTODY CASES

The legal system is preparing for a rush of fathers seeking joint custody of their children when revised parenting laws go into effect next week. The new parental law, which becomes valid on 1 October, is designed to give additional rights - and responsibilities - to both fathers and mothers. While current, decade-old legislation requires parents to reach an agreement before joint custody is granted, the new law establishes co-parenting as the norm - even after a divorce.

Under the new rules, joint custody can only be repealed if serious concerns for a child’s safety such as abuse come to light. The law requires that after a divorce, parents share a range of responsibilities ranging from taking children to school to ensuring the former spouse has information about school activities. Children themselves will also have more say under the legislation, as child welfare authorities will interview them on parental custody matters.

Experts are concerned, however, that the revisions could result in a flood of new law suits. Anja Cordes, chairman of the national organisation of lawyers dealing with custody cases, was a member of the committee, which drew up the law’s proposals. She stated that although the political will was in place to establish co-parenting after a failed marriage, feuding parents might lack the ability to put their differences behind them for the good of the child. ‘It will take time before parents learn to separate parenting with partnership and to stop seeking revenge through their child,’ she told Berlingske Tidende newspaper. She also predicted longer processing times for child welfare authorities in future cases, as parents who had lost custody cases in the past seek the chance to have their case retried. Anette Hummelshøj, the head of Department of Family Affairs, admitted the new law could place an additional strain on the legal system. ‘But our expectation is that when the courts have established a clear line for the legal area, a higher number of parents will be able to settle either inside or outside the courts.’

The Copenhagen Post September 26, 2007

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!

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.

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.
