Several Michigan Representatives have demonstrated that they indeed support the importance of parenthood and have declared it in writing before the legislature.

An Amendment to amend Article I of Michigan's Constitution (1963) and that "PARENTS AND LEGAL GUARDIANS HAVE A NATURAL AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO DIRECT THE CARE, EDUCATION, AND UPBRINGING OF THEIR CHILDREN. NO GOVERNMENT ACTION SHALL BURDEN, ABRIDGE, OR HINDER THIS NATURAL, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT UNLESS IT IS IN FURTHERANCE OF A COMPELLING GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST AND IS THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE MEANS OF FURTHERING THAT COMPELLING GOVERNMENTAL INTEREST."

Any Dishonorable ANTI-Family Representatives that are against this bill should not be reelected and the following Honorable Reps including John Stahl should be honored publicly for being supportive of the most basic building block of society:

A fairly comprehensive summary has been created on a standalone page for a summary of all eight stages that should be printed out and circulated amongst leadership in various social advocacy groups. The eight stages will help create healthy debates on both sides regarding respective organizational goals. Most of the information is reprinted from various websites covering the works of Bill Moyer. Even if you don't believe in the politics of Bill Moyer, you can believe in the framework and use it to help advance your organization's position.

What we are facing today, much like others in the past, is a simple civil rights violation. This is how you get heard... Let your legislators know that you are fed up and not going to take it anymore! Demand equal rights and equal treatment, meaning equal access to your children!

The Equal Parenting Symposium was a success and will be airing on local public access television in the coming week around the metro Detroit area. The most recent symposium was in the City of Pontiac, in Oakland County. Politicians, Professionals, and interested citizens from all over the state appeared for presentations by Jim Semerad (Dads and Moms of Michigan), Dr. Michael Ross (Family Rights Coalition), Lary Holland (Family Court Problems), Jay Fedewa (Family Rights Coalition) and Minister Ronald Smith (Children Need Both Parents, Inc.).

As video becomes available, it will be uploaded and shared here! Also an audio podcast will be available later this week of the speeches that were given and available for sharing and download. This event was a success and even more people are now educated about the funding mechanisms of our Friend of the Court systems, the steep rewards that are provided for the creation of absent parent households, and the devastating effects of family court on our economy.

Thanks for the Family Rights Coalition, and the other members of the symposium for helping make this event such a success!
