John, This is an excellent idea!


Now we need a plan to follow it up. Designing the poster isn't that
difficult (though if anybody has experience with DTP and particiularily
Scribus the help would be appreciated). The thing is going to be
gathering the names and pictures to put up on these posters. Although
we could do it nationwide, I'd like to focus the posters so that they
are more localized.

I think this is a top-notch idea as well. I don't know much about
graphic design but I'll give it a think.

I've also had an idea in my head for a while about making little comic
books, like the sorts that Jack Chick produces for Christian
proselytizing. Again the problem is that I'm a better writer than an
artists, and comics need good pictures.

So, how to gather names and pictures?

That's something I am going to have to explore. I might try to do
something on the NCPRevue web site. We might have to filter out names
though through a background check. I hate to do it, but we really
wouldn't want this to come back and bite us in the ass.


Where is this going to be posted? I'm assuming you'll want local area
as much as possible, so which area is important.

I'd want to put these up in the same particular area that they are
putting up the "Deadbeat" posters. With the grocery stores, I could
envision finding out where these places are, then spreading out with
fliers and posting them on the windshields of cars.


Also, could there be legal repercussions for putting up pictures of
children (even one's own children for a NCP) in a public place? You
know the family courts will stoop as low as it takes.

I know that. Originally I was thinking about doing visitation
violators, but focusing on the CPs might lead to defamation unless you
are VERY careful about that. This way, they can't really complain. The
message is "my parent misses me" something that's almost impossible for
the other side to even disprove, as it is an emotion.
What I'd really like is to get parents with joint "legal" custody (now
that would be a laugh to use that term on our side for once) who are
being denied visitation.
Now, I am not a lawyer, I haven't even played one on TV. And in as bad
as some of them are, we may want to ask a lawyer, maybe one that
specializes in father's rights, would there be any sort of an invasion
of privacy with this just to be on the safe side.
