Those of you who live in Michigan please go to this bill and then contact each one of the sponsors of this bill. If you know someone in Michigan please ask them to contact these sponsors. Let the sponsors know that we appreciate their support but now is the time to get movement on the bill. The sponsors need to present the bill via a legislative forum in the House and or the Senate Office Buildings. Also they need to pressure their Judiciary Committee colleagues to have a hearing or move the legislation to another committee or to the floor for a vote.

Gingrich and Santorum Create War on Fathers

http://ping.fm/8ClVK
Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum led the effort to make the states create non-custodial parents and lock-up poor fathers. Title IV-D was modified to say that ALL mothers who are on welfare who could possibly ever be on welfare are to get tax payer provided Child Support enforcement. Those mothers who are on welfare where to have their child support orders turned over to the state to enforce with encarceration and confescation of property their tools to enforce bloated income sharing support orders.

Have we created a Matriarchy that is bankrupting nations, abusing children?

Have we created a Matriarchy that is bankrupting nations, abusing children?

The new feminism (second wave [the radicals]) who have to be a part of everything male while acting in a misandric fashion are creating a sadistic Matriarchy across the globe. If Men and women split everything 50/50 and women get 50% of the man's 50 and 7/8ths of the remaining twenty five
percent as special entitlements that equals 97.25% - maybe that is why females make the majority of retail purchases.

I can envision men reading this crossing their legs, wringing their hands uncomfortably almost whining: I hope they read the rest of this, check out the links, STOP, breathe and then reflect: the truth is in the studies. We have for decades lazily subscribed to urban myth even though lies have been
proven and dispelled:

Apparently the Jewish community is concerned with a dwindling male membership <http://dadsofmichigan.blogspot.com/2011/07/end-of-jewish-men.html>
The end of Jewish Men are not the Protestant and Catholic Communities facing the same situation?

Not all single mothers are sadistic but images of Britney, Lindsey and Casey should wake us up a little simply look up female violence on You Tube . "`Oh say it is not true" exclaim the gentlemen twisting in their seats, perhaps, but this material is not made up <http://antimisandry.com/abuse-dv/>
Bringing Attention to Abuse By Females it is true Google has tried to censor such material as hate speech preferring homosexual friendly comments (sorry their editorial preference and a true statement simply ask bloggers).

All mothers probably are not that violent despite the ones we have seen grabbing their children by the arm in the grocery store, we do know (even if we are afraid to discuss it) at least some moms utilize the electronic babysitter, we have been talking about it for decades, but could it lead to this: <http://westmichigandad.wordpress.com/2011/07/13/should-parents-of-obese-kids-lose-custody/>

Should parents of obese kids lose custody?

* We know Fathers petition Courts for custody, joint custody, shared custody, parenting time, access to their children everyday, and, everyday leave the Court Room broken hearted despite the evidence demonstrating the criticality of fathers to their children's development,

The Public Broadcast System actually airs programming that touches upon religion, last weekend I listened to a Catholic Bishop lamenting the injury upon all of those poor families that the current budget debacle will cause.
I am certain the Bishop truly had in mind social injustice to less fortunate people _ I truly believe the Bishop had no conception at all he really is lamenting a minor loss in funding for the enabling of single mother homes whilst depriving children of their fathers.

There is no logic in promoting Fatherhood whilst denigrating Fathers. There is no logic in promoting a social system that separates children from their fathers whilst costing America three hundred thirty-six billion dollars annually Sex, <http://dadsofmichigan.blogspot.com/2011/07/sex-money.html>

Below is the email I am personally sending to the entire Iowa House on HF 345.  Please feel free to use my research in your email.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Dear Iowa House of Representatives,

 

I'm hopeful you will allow children the opportunity to have equal access to both parents by voting in favor of HF 345.

 

Click here for a thesis explaining in-depth the legality need along with the social need for a rebuttable presumption of joint physical care here in Iowa.  

 

A few key points that I would like to stress are as follows:

 

•         Joint physical care or shared parenting is when both parents share physical placement of the child(ren). Simply defined, joint physical care allows the child(ren) to live with each parent 50% of the time during the year.

 

•         In all thirty-three comparative studies in the U.S. comparing the outcomes of children in joint physical care to those in the care of only one parent found that children in joint physical care have better outcomes (Bauserman, 2002).

 

•         The percentage of all births that were to unmarried women more than doubled between 1980 and 2008. In 2008, 41 percent of births were to unmarried women, up from 40 percent in 2007. Increases have occurred for women in all age groups, with the largest increases measured for women in their twenties (America's Children in Brief: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 2010).

 

•         Mothers win primary physical care in 84.4 percent of the cases (Support Providers: 2002, 2005).

 

•         According to recent studies, approximately 40 percent of child victims were maltreated by their mothers acting alone; another 18.3 percent were maltreated by their fathers acting alone; 17.3 percent were abused by both parents (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2007).

 

•         On specifically neglect, a study found that children living with just one parent, under any living arrangement, had significantly higher rates of Harm Standard neglect with 27.0 per 1,000 children compared to those living with two married biological parents with 4.2 per 1,000 children (Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-4), 2010).

 

•         Research by Dr. Judith Wallerstein and Dr. Joan Berlin Kelly revealed that 50 percent of mothers either saw no value in the father's contact with his children and actively tried to sabotage it, or resented the father's contact (Wallerstein & Kelly, 1996).

 

•         According to the U.S. Department of Justice, an estimated 2.11 million persons under the age of eighteen were arrested in 2008, where 1 in 10 arrests were for murder and 1 in 4 arrests were for robbery, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. The report further showed that Iowa (92% reporting coverage) reported 252 juvenile violent crime arrests, 1792 juvenile property crime arrests, 396 juvenile drug abuse arrests, and 52 juvenile weapons arrests (Juvenile Arrests 2008, 2009).

 

The negative impacts of fatherless children cannot be ignored. Please support HF 345 which will create a rebuttable presumption of joint physical care and help ensure that Iowa's children gain access to both parents!

 

Sincerely,

Bryan Iehl
