Making a Real Difference!!!
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/politicallyactivedads/
"You can be a Politically Active Dad!" Why you should join us? 1. Over 1,000 "Politically Active Dads" are pro-active in supporting the Million Dads March and Fathers Day March in Washington, D.C., on Father's Day, Sunday, June 18th! We will fight for equal parenting. "United we stand, divided we fall", is our core belief. 2. "Politically Active Dads" are engaged in an email/telephone and personal meeting campaign, to contact every Legislator in every state, province and country. Our problem is worldwide and "Politically Active Dads" can be found in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and the list goes on. 3. "Politically Active Dads" targets for defeat, politicians that are not listening to us. Recently, in Canada, our group worked in a coalition of groups on the "Defeat Anne McClellan Campaign". We were successful in defeating Deputy Prime Minister McClellan (Former Justice Minister). 4. "Politically Active Dads" are working on the US elections in 2006 and 2008; and preparing to fight another election in Canada, expected for 2008. 5. "Politically Active Dads" are supporting Barry Lillie's program called "You are Still a Dad", which is part of the group "Kids & Dad". Barry's group provides services, like mediation, parenting plans and counseling...at no charge! Our group helps Barry continue his work by running a corporate fundraising campaign, a Golf Tournament in June, each year. 6. We sponsor event like the "Coalition Building Conference", which was held in Chicago, last September. Leaders from several groups attended, to better coordinate our mutual efforts towards a common goal - Equal Parenting! 7. "Politically Active Dads" held a March to Parliament in Canada, last May & June 2005, with some 40 people participating. Members of Parliament and members of the Ontario Legislative were lobbied at Queen's Park in Toronto, at their community offices and on Parliament Hill. We gained considerable media attention to the plight of Canadian Fathers, with television, radio and print interviews, over 17 days. 8. We need you! Please join us and work with the 1,000+ Members of "Politically Active Dads!" http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/politicallyactivedads/ Thank you! In Solidarity, Wayne Cook Father of Nicole, Lara & Cristina...Denied 18 Years!!! http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/politicallyactivedads/ |

That is the single most powerful thing you can do to get their attention, put them all on notice that's it's not safe to ignore the issues! |
