Bryan Lee McGlothin on Parental Abduction at DC FESTIVAL 2008

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:51:20 -0400

Bryan Lee McGlothin powerfully presented at the DC FESTIVAL 2008, Family Preservation Festival, on the issue of parental kidnapping. Through personal experience and inner-reflection, he touches on areas of his book, Have You Seen My Mother, a true story and first hand account of a parental kidnap. Parental Alienation and Parental Abduction are directly related.

"Once finding his mother, Bryan embarked on a difficult, heart wrenching journey of discovery; research at libraries and courthouses across the country as well as speaking to family members he had not seen in forty years, has brought to the surface, the ugly truth of the deception wielded by his father, for so many years, in the name of God. Bryan offers his, and his mother's bittersweet story."

Chad Gist & William Dunn: FSF FL, DC FESTIVAL 2008: Paternity Fraud and more

Chad Gist & William Dunn of Fathers Supporting Fathers Florida presented at the DC FESTIVAL 2008, Family Preservation Festival. This dyamite couple couldn't even wait until arriving at the festival before they had an article in their local newspaper. The Ledger, thanks to the great reporting of Shoshana Walter, published the article: Fathers' Rights Activist To Travel to Festival. As you can see in the article that was published August 13, 2008, before the festival, "Dunn and Chad Gist, the head of the organization Fathers Supporting Fathers, will lead a talk about false allegations and host a screening of the movie "A Father's Rights" at Upper Senate Park in the nation's capital Friday."

True to the papers word, Chad Gist and William Dunn came to Washington DC and delivered their speech on Saturday, August 16, 2008.

You can find their speech on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM7d98qc_fI

When I spoke with Chad Gist this morning he indicated that "we needed people to come together and do this," and solidified the message with "we are united and we are everywhere."

Chrissy Chrzanowski of SplitNTwo: Compelling, Emotional, and True

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:17:47 -0400

Chrissy Chrzanowski of SplitNTwo delivered a compelling, emotional, and true account of parental alienation before the crowds at DC FESTIVAL 2008 and now the entire Internet. Parental alienation is the mental manipulation of children, which can result in destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. Parental Alienation can occur in intact families, but is mostly seen in separated and divorced families. Parental Alienation is Child Abuse.

Chrissy's Speech Can Be Seen on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnFUJeDt8cI

Through the participation of so many dedicated advocates working throughout the United States and coming together in a united front, I have two things to say:

1. Parental Rights should be respected and protected by all.

2. We are united and we are everywhere.

The time for speaking to the choir is over, and all our efforts will be directed at content production, advocate training, and public outreach. We are united and we are everywhere. Respect parental rights or your election will enter our sights.

The National Family Preservation Festival 2008 (DCFESTIVAL2008.COM) was a great success. Bringing activists into the public eye, with the leaders like Brian Holladay of Fathers 4 Justice taking control and executing a spontaneous march and rallies throughout Washington DC. The video below is an independently created promotion of "Fathers-4-Justice", "Get Your Justice Live", and the ideal that "Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom."

Parental Rights Should be Respected and Protected by ALL!

The DC FESTIVAL 2008 brought activists and the public together due to the spectacular leadership of so many great people working together to MAKE an event happen. Don't wait for something to happen, make it happen my friends. Special thanks to all those that contributed, participated, and took action instead of waiting for it to happen.

Watch this blog after I get home from Washington DC for my official announcements and thank yous to the ones that made this entire thing possible! Let's make DC FESTIVAL 2009 an even larger success together!

News Media Across the Country Informed of Parents Day (July 27, 2008)

laryholland@sbcglobal.net (Lary Holland) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:39:21 -0400

Everyone has heard of Mother's Day and Father's Day, but few actually knew there was a collective federal holiday referred to as "Parent's Day" coming up this Sunday (July 27, 2008) until YOU let them know. Be sure to announce it to everyone and we appreciate you taking time out of your day to help make parents important once again. Please publish pertinent information from this message accordingly.

By operation of federal law (US Code, Title 36, Section 135), the fourth Sunday in July is officially known as Parents Day, and every level of local, state and federal government is directed by this law to officially recognize the importance of parents in the lives of children "through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts" - i.e., for once, government HAS to agree with us, and also put it in fancy writing for us, and do something "educational" about it, just for the asking... You can also see the same law here and here and here.

One mayor practically declared war on behalf of parents against government intrusion in this Proclamation that was issued compliments of the United Civil Rights Council of America.http://unitedcivilrights.org/members/ParentsDay/Proclamations/UT-SandyCity-Mayor.pdf

So as you are enjoying this weekend, know that it is up to you, the press, our churches, our families to remind everyone that government should respect and PROTECT parental rights to be just that...parents.

If you see a mother or a father, remind them that July 27, 2008 is in honor of them and encourage parents to work together on behalf of raising the next significant generation of children that will lead this great nation.

If nothing else, make mention of the National Civil Rights event for parents coming up this August 15 & 16 in honor of all those great parents out there. Many Legislators, Candidates, and Organizations are all in support of parenthood, so spread the word about tomorrow being such an important day. Check out the site as well to see information regarding several Constitutional Amendments being proposed and more.

Where we have a government that thinks it has the apparent authority to confiscate children at will, as we can see from the recent issues in Texas earlier this year, something needs to be done.

Sincerely,
Lary Holland

Fathers-4-Justice to Lead Organizations and Family Members in “Justice March” through Washington DC

WASHINGTON DC ———- Fathers-4-Justice announced today that they are leading organizations and family members in a “Justice March” through Washington DC on August 16, 2008. The origination point of the Justice March is scheduled to launch from the DC FESTIVAL 2008 Civil Rights Event at Upper Senate Park and continue to the United States White House.

Children’s and Parent’s Rights organizations from
across the nation are scheduled to congregate on Washington DC this
August 15 & 16 at the Upper Senate Park. Why? Because government
policies do not reflect what is truly best for children and good
parents. The event is bringing the major issues facing parents to the
legislators’ doorsteps, their backyards, and their offices.

The “Justice March,” which is just one of many
featured events of DC Festival 2008, will be led by Fathers-4-Justice
and will have several organizations that believe there is a basic right
to parent their own children in the ranks. “No Government office or
entity should have the power to interfere with fit loving parents
raising their children, but through an error in law many families have
that experience” states Brian Holladay of Fathers-4-Justice. He also
states that “America ’s families have had enough and want to ensure
that current and future politicians know they will be held accountable
for the damages they are causing.”

The march will start at Upper Senate Park (August 16, 2008 3:00PM
EST) and head through the National Mall between Independence and
Constitution Avenue . Turning right at the monument built to honor one
of our nations fore fathers, George Washington, the column will cross
Constitution Avenue and head for the White House following Fifteenth
Street . Fathers-4-Justice^® US (F4J^®) is a
501(c)(3) not-for-profit, volunteer army of fathers, mothers,
grandparents, and others dedicated to fighting for truth, justice and
equality in family law.

For more information about the Justice March or for information
about Fathers-4-Justice you may contact Brian Holladay of
Fathers-4-Justice at 440-388-4023 or visit the official F4J website at

Parental Rights Organizations Across the Nation to Encroach on Washington DC for Civil Rights Event

Parental Rights Organizations Across the Nation to Encroach on Washington DC for Civil Rights Event.

Oakland County, Michigan ———- Children’s and
Parent’s Rights organizations from across the nation are scheduled to
encroach on Washington DC this August 15 & 16 at the Upper Senate
Park. Why? Because government policies do not reflect what is truly
best for children and good parents. The event is bringing the major
issues facing parents to the legislators’ doorsteps, their backyards,
and their offices.

A coalition of numerous individuals, organizations, and agencies
that grows daily as August draws near, aim to bring solutions to many
crises that are affecting America in this landmark event. This event is
not to be confused with last year’s successful event, a rally held
under the name DC RALLY 2007 and organized largely by Minister Ronald
Smith of Children Need Both Parents, Inc. which is scheduled again for
2009.

“Where we have a government that thinks it has the apparent
authority to confiscate children at will, as we can see from the recent
issues in Texas earlier this year, something needs to be done.” states
Lary Holland, one of the organizers of this event. He further states,
“we are dealing with a fundamental liberty and civil rights issue that
has to be recognized and respected by our government, the protected
right of parenthood.”

Various groups across the nation aren’t willing to compromise
liberty and let their government run on autopilot any longer.
“Somewhere along the lines, the government stopped believing that the
Constitution was a restriction on them and not a restriction on the
people,” according to Holland. This event will also be welcoming a
number of cyclists that are pedaling bicycles from Michigan’s Capitol
all the way to Washington DC to support a child’s right to two parents.

For more information about this historic civil rights event,
individuals and groups may contact “Write to Parent” at 800-883-9619.
Organizations that have not secured their exhibition table can do so
through August 8, 2008 by using the toll-free telephone number.
Individuals and Organizations looking to attend and participate in the
event may obtain the most up to date for information on travel,
accommodations, and itinerary at the event website at www.dcfestival2008.com.
