A friend of mine this morning sent me a link to http://www.citizensrule.net demonstrating that yet another group sees through the Title IV-D Smokescreen as a free for all welfare spending program. In a two page site, they present a very simple case very similar to what I and others have been doing: "The Problem is, the title IV-D program no longer works in tandem with the entitlement programs, and is improperly and unlawfully administered."
According to Federal OCSE Publication: Child Support Report (January 2007) there are 60,000-plus child support "professionals." As you can see their interest is purely financial and to sustain an ever-growing liberal welfare bureacracy that includes controlling the middle and upper-class families by forcing their inclusion into a voluntary federal block grant program to maximize and bolster participation numbers.

The Solution
Citizens Rule has developed a simple and fairly low cost solution to the IV-D problem. Vast numbers of parents and their children can be liberated from the oppression of IV-D tyranny by simply convincing five people that there is a due process deficiency. Because the U.S. Supreme Court has a history of hearing only those cases with a significant legal or social implication for the nation, the court will address only a handful of legal issues each year. Fathers unjustly labeled an "absent parent" must face a challenge to convince the Supreme Court that the lack of due process in America’s child support enforcement system warrants their attention.
Citizens Rule has a plan that could compel the Supreme Court to examine the sufficiency of protection afforded under the IV-D child support system. This due process challenge to Minnesota’s IV-D enforcement program will be nearly identical to a due process challenge brought in Michigan, California, or any other state.The IV-D Solution will show the Supreme Court that parents are routinely denied due process when the state takes charge of their children, under the jurisdiction of a federally funded child welfare program. The difficulty in reaching the Supreme Court is self-evident when one sees that the billions of dollars, already unlawfully taken from fathers, has funded the creation of powerful special interests groups such as state and local bureaucracies, radical feminist organizations, disreputable family law attorneys, and greedy private collection agencies. These interests will undoubtedly unite in opposition to any action taken to restore the rule of law in domestic relations. The IV-D Enigma Solution leverages the community much the same way that the African American community in Montgomery Alabama rallied together to challenge a state law requiring segregated seating on public buses. The Supreme Court probably would not have heard the Gayle v. Browdner case (ruling segregated buses were unconstitutional) if the African American community had not joined together in an effective boycott of the city buses, bringing it to the attention of the nation. Citizens Rule has a plan that will inspire and motivate parents to come together to peacefully protest their unjust conscription under title IV-D provisions. There is no lawful reason for a parent to be classified as an "absent parent" without proof that he has abandoned his family to welfare, and forcing the states to adopt the due process requirements now lacking in their IV-D programs will shut down the federal stream of money to the states, and compel the federal government to clarify their requirements for funding under the Social Security Act. If you want to be a part of the solution, contact Citizens Rule. We need to join together to send an effective message across the country, brought by simple motions in cases like yours.
