"Effort & Courage are not enough without Purpose & Direction."  President John F. Kennedy

Our Goal

Federal Civil Rights Legislation
The right of parents & children to associate is an "inalienable" right. Equal access and participation is assumed.
Anyone finding this right challenged has the protection of a jury, and required proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

A brief essay on Family Rights

Read: The Family Rights Act

A child has a right to be with their parents, a parent has a right to be with their child. As one of our most important rights -- it should not depend on what State you live in or a local law:

First steps: Introduction of the Family Right's Act into Congress,
Congressional Hearings into Family Law Reform.

Someone robbing a 6 pack of beer from a convenience store is entitled to: representation by Counsel, strict rules of evidence, and a Jury which must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. Don't you think you deserve the same standard before you are separated for years?

Each state had the ability to establish its own criminal code and procedures, but was still required to remain within the U.S. Constitutions guarantees of: a presumption of innocence, real proof, and the protection of a Jury. There has been an explosion in well intentioned Family Law produced in each state, but without the firm guidance of our Constitution. The words "best interest of the child" have been used to justify any state action.

WE ARE NOT calling for MORE FEDERAL INTERFERENCE, but less. The recognition of established constitutional protections to protect families. We only ask the same principles used to protect liberty, also protect the bond between parents and children (probably an even more valued freedom):

Our Approach

Non Violent Action
"I came to see for the first time that the Christian doctrine of love, operating through the Gandhian method of nonviolence, is one of the most potent weapons available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom."(Martin Luther King)

The key to our success is a non-violent approach based on Non Violent Action. Please follow the link and read about a very positive approach! We are not loud, rude, or vindictive.  We treat everyone with kindness and respect -- especially people with whom we disagree (which includes the other parent, lawyers, and other officials in the "system").

We have held up the ideal that people willing to demonstrate: Faith, Love, and Personal Sacrifice can be the means of effective social change. More specifically, that Parents can promote Family Law reform by demonstrating: 

1) Faith in a loving God, 

2) Love for their children, former spouses, and other "brothers and sisters", and 

3) Willingness to make Personal Sacrifice, 

NonViolent Action allows you to demonstrate through "unambiguous physical action" the depth of your Faith and belief in your "cause." It is a positive demonstration of love given at sometimes tremendous personal cost.
