Fathers Groups Go Front and Center at Los Angeles Courthouse

Fathers 4 Justice, Los Angeles (F4JLA) and the National Coalition For Men,
Los Angeles (NCFMLA) stood front and center this morning at the entrance to
a downtown Los Angeles Courthouse. The corner of 1st St. and Hill St. is
always a bustling intersection and this morning it was a little busier than
usual. All across America, today is Fatherless Day, and folks are taking to
the streets to call attention to the way family law and family law courts
mistreat Fathers.

The Hill St. Courthouse is the site where many a famous Hollywood celebrity
has experienced the pangs of divorce and family law tyranny.

Picketers with their large signs were on the sidewalks by 7:15 a.m., and by
8:00 a.m., there was no ignoring their presence in front of the courthouse.
Folks from all across Southern California showed up for this event. Protest
organizers were surprised and pleased when Harry Crouch of the California
Men's Center San Diego pulled into the parking lot to join them. Crouch
drove over a hundred miles to join the protest. Sons, daughters, 2nd wives
and others also drove long distances and made other sacrifices to join this
protest and express their strong dissatisfaction with family law and family
law courts.

Passing cars honked horns in support of the signs they saw. About ten of the
protesters wore carpenter's aprons that they used to hold the flyers and
buttons they were handing out. One protestor handed out over 40 buttons in
under 5 minutes. "Father's Day button," he said as the people walked by. He
continued, "Sunday is Father's Day, but today is Fatherless Day. Dads are
driven from their kid's lives by these courts, and then blamed for being
absent." The button this protestor was handing out said simply, "Honor the
Father." Over the course of the 3-hour protest, the protestors gave away
hundreds of fliers and hundreds of buttons.

At the end of the 3-hour protest, the protestors marched to the patio area
between the Superior Court building and the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisor's building. It was only about a month and a half ago that one
Supervisor held a news conference on the other side of the country building,
announcing a L. A. County crackdown on "Deadbeat Dads." Fred Sotile,
President of F4JLA read a short speech in the lavish patio area, denouncing
the unfair treatment Dads receive at the hands of their government.
Protestors loudly proclaimed their support of his statements.

Even though the crowd was not as big as the leaders of the protest would
have liked, it was significantly bigger than their Father's Day rally last
year in a L. A. County park. With continued hard work and perseverance
Father's rights advocates are hopeful that they will double, or triple, the
size of their protest next year - if one is necessary. Sadly, there is much
fear that government still does not get the message that Father's rights
advocates are sending, that the war on Dads will no longer be tolerated.
More and more Dads, and their relatives, and friends are speaking up,
demanding that this tyranny end.

The days of treating Dads like second class citizens is over!

The true Dead Beats are the ones sitting in office who spend the money and
don't pay for anything.

I noticed one guy holding a sign that reads "Enforce visitation as strictly
as child support". Is he for REAL? You certainly wouldn't see ME promoting
fathers as "visitors". They cry for equality, yet they hold signs that
advocate the opposite!
