1. Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit - filed by attorney Leon Koziol
----------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Jack Frost <fr33j6ck@yahoo.com>
This press release went out a few days ago. Attorney Leon Koziol
(http://www.LeonKoziol.com/) has been fighting for Fathers Rights for
quite some time. He is a civil Rights attorney that became involved in
his own custody battle and saw first hand what family court and nys
law does to families.
"In what may be described as the most sweeping challenge to date
upon our nation's draconian child control laws surrounding Title
IV-D of the Social Security Act, New York Civil Rights Advocate
Leon R. Koziol, J.D. has filed a comprehensive test case in United
States District Court in Albany, New York. Named in the action are
judicial and law enforcement officials, including New York's Chief
Justice and Unified Court System. The lawsuit, served upon select
parties this week, takes aim at “custody” and “child support” laws
which alienate children from their parents as part of a government
money generating scheme. A 39 page, 24 count civil complaint sets
forth the manner in which lawyers and forensic agents feed off of
manufactured controversies in domestic relations courts to harm
parent-child relations and the financial stability of mainstream
households. According to Koziol, it is a process which is harming
the productivity of an entire nation."
See the link for the entire complaint.

2. Chicago Rally -- what happened on Oct 23rd.

Submitted by: John F <f4j.john@yahoo.com>
It rained all morning, we had about 12 - 13 people. 4 groups
together. The rain cleared up around noon. I spent alot of time
contacting the media, to have no one show up. So I will be making a
youtube video I am sure. I would like to send in a story to the media
as well, I just do not have that much time right now.
I have a court case to get ready for which takes away my time right
now. I have some pictures on my facebook page. It was a great spot
for a rally though. A lot of horns honking!

4. F4J Protest and video - what happened in Ballston Spa, Oct 2nd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by Jack Frost <fr33j6ck@yahoo.com>
Here is a video I put together of the last protest Oct. 2nd.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXMt9MxTYeE
This was the first protest where I had a police presence. I was in the
street handing out Fathers4Justice business cards. I was not
interrupting traffic and the public was very supportive. I even
received 17 dollars in donations although that was not my purpose. My
purpose was to bring awareness to the injustice that happens in Family
Court especially to Fathers and the relationship with their children.
A eventually got out of the road as was requested by the Ballston Spa
policeman. I moved to the other side of the street to continue my
protest on the sidewalk. I saw the Ballston Spa policeman pull up
very fast and he was shouting into the mike of his radio. I thought
this was a little over the top for a one man, one grandmother
protest(she was the one taking the pictures, she is in her 60's). I
got some pics of me protesting right next to his vehicle. After a
short time a trooper driving very fast pulled up on the other side of
the parking lot and then yet another trooper showed up.
The accompanying video is a little tongue-n-check at the heavy handed
response from the local Ballston Spa policeman and the troopers who
were called for backup. Kind of reminds me of how fathers are treated
like criminals in family court. Loving fathers are not criminals.
All the police stayed until the protest was over. You can see the
Ballston Spa policemen taking down my license plate. I later learned
he was after my name and address as I got the 911 recordings. The
troopers never asked me for identification and I certainly wasn't
hiding it. More unnecessary heavy handedness - the war against loving
fathers continues beyond the court room as we all know.
5. Idea of equal parenting going out of style? - William L Spence
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: William L Spence <wls@redshift.com>
Is the idea of equal parenting going out of style?
There have always been some fathers who hold that patriarchy is the
natural condition of the family and father sole custody when the
parents break up is always the the best arrangement for children, but
I think I've been seeing a new trend among fathers in which equal
joint custody is ridiculed and fighting hard in court to win full
custody is urged.
The claim that's being made is that there's no family court gender
bias and that by bringing forth quantities of `evidence' embarrassing
to the mother, and tampering with court appointed evaluators, a father
can reliably win in court. Other than instruction to give it
lip-service, little is said about what's good for the child: defeating
the ex' gets the entire emphasis.
The cases that are exhibited as successes supporting this point of
view all involve mothers who were clearly unfit to parent, and in
which it appears the child protective agency going against the mother
had much more to do with the result in court than the father's
cleverness or aggressiveness. Nevertheless the approach and
`understanding' of how family court operates offered, is appealing to
many fathers with a much broader variety of types of cases, and
despite the fact that most are in fact not readily receiving sole
custody or even orders giving them anything approaching equal amounts
of parenting time or decision making power.
A notable segment among them are fathers who's child was conceived in
a very casual relationship or one-night stand with the mother, who
then complain that the mother's pattern of frequent changes of
romantic partner should disqualify them as parents, and who expect to
receive sole custody immediately upon establishing a steady
relationship with or marrying another woman, even with a desultory
record of contact with the child.

I got your message and VERY sorry to hear what happened to you and
your child. I can't imagine anything worse for you or him, and I hope
you will not just walk away and affirm the great indignity by which
you have both been treated.
What happened to you is any parent's worst nightmare. I don't know
how anyone deals with it. Pardon me if I challenge you to try a
little more. You are welcome to post your story to our Hall of Shame,
http://www.AKidsRight.Org/shame.htm
As long as our goal is "beating" them -- well, you are never sure if
you will succeed or if it is worth the effort and sacrifice.
But it is fully in your power to demonstrate to yourself, to your son,
and to others how much you love your son and what a great injustice
was done. I guess you have been on the list for a while, I encourage
you to take a look at NonViolent Action again.
Regarding "they terminated your rights?" Is that an oxymoron? How
can they terminate something they never had control over? Was the
black's right to freedom "terminated" because they were kept as
slaves?
I know taking action can be difficult, especially the sacrifice
required. But as far as the present system goes, we are victims of
our own timidity -- this guy says it well.

It is amazing how docile people are! They will actually allow the
government to take their children and/or decide which parental
rights they keep. It is rare that the government has to use even
the threat of force - people comply with having their hearts
ripped out, just because they think they should. It's the 21st
century, people! Join an equal parenting group! You are not the
government's little dog, and they have no right to snatch your
"puppies" when they feel like it.
They are violating you and your children through you, and if you
are not a criminal you are much better for your children than any
government. Your natural commitment to your children is the
awesome power that keeps the human race going. Respect yourself!
Stand up and fight for your parental rights, which are the best
protection of your children's best interests. There is only one
other person who has an equal right to parent your children. Work
things out with him or her, and keep the government out of it.
Even if you think it is too late for yourself. If you would like to help
others, let me know.
