Failed Policy of a Great Society in Modern Era



WHY IS THIS A CRITICAL ISSUE?

Harriet Tubman once reflected wistfully, “If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more.” Now, that telling quote has been resurrected by Janks Morton ostensibly with the hope of shaking another generation of African-Americans out of the doldrums.

Morton employs the sage adage during his prefatory remarks to What Black Men Think, a thought-provoking documentary which he not only produced and directed, but also appears in it periodically as narrator, commentator and interviewer. The picture paints an enlightening and empathetic portrait of African-American males by employing some rather surprising raw statistics to suggest that we all reconsider some commonly-held beliefs about brothers.

WHAT IS G.U.P.I. ABOUT?

Child custody and support laws have become more onerous over the last 50 years due to fewer parents staying together and women becoming equally as capable as men at earning a living outside the home.  Instead of reflecting these changes, the laws have lagged behind, continuing to favor mothers over fathers. The laws generally award primary custody to the parent who spent more time at home with the children and less time working, even if the difference was miniscule.

 The other parent is then ordered to pay a crushing amount of child support, sometimes on top of alimony. In a small percentage of situations, usually where the father was the primary caregiver, this situation is reversed and the laws punish the mother…

Although a few small changes have been made to the laws within the last few years, due to exposure and the efforts of advocacy organizations, there has not been significant progress. According to the U.S. Census Bureau84 percent of custodial parents are mothers, a figure that has not changed since 1983. This is unfortunate, because Canadian economist Paul Miller analyzed data on families and found that “parental gender is not a…predictor at all of any of the child outcomes examined, that is behavioral, educational or health outcomes.” The children often end up with “Parental Alienation Syndrome,” developing a dislike for the noncustodial parent bought on by the custodial parent.

Dear Daddy




WHAT IS DEAR DADDY ABOUT?

Dear Daddy is a feature length documentary about the  lifelong effects of fatherlessness on women.


The film follows the dramatic journeys of eight young women from the tough city streets of Washington,DC as they struggle to overcome poverty, poor educational systems, no healthcare, and the most difficult life circumstance they have been dealt… the absence of their fathers.

Dear Daddy is not only about the struggles to survive and navigate as a young woman of color, but at its core, it’s about the importance of a father’s role in the lives of their daughters.

Adopt 28th Parental Rights Amendment to U.S. Constitution - The Florida Parental Rights Memorial ~ #Vote2016

Cynthia Wheeler's photo.

We agree to meet with me tomorrow in Tampa. I will advocate for the creation of a subcommittee composed of low to middle income litigants that desire to participate in the process to fix problems that directly affect them and incorporating real world experience that no member of the Commission has directly.I am hoping that he agrees or presents my request to other Commission members and they agree to my request. Closed my don't get feed. Commissions in other states may have 3 members or more so to my knowledge there is no set rule that the Commission cannot add members. What harm could it do? California has a Commission and has HUGE civil court problems and other states. I think adding non attorneys/judges members reflective of the people the Commission was created to help will actually bring a very important missing component. I will let you know how everything turns out tomorrow or Saturday depending on what time I return. It is a 3-3.5 hour drive.




The Florida Legislature passed the Parental Rights Memorial, thus making Florida the fifth State in the Union to call on Congress to pass the Parental Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution!
 Mission accomplished!
