These are very serious crimes being committed against innocent people. Very little these people do is legal. They are operating a kidnapping and extortion racket under the color of law.

Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, 18 U.S.C. § 242. This provision makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.

For the purpose of Section 242, acts under “color of law” include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official’s lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.

THE OFFENSE IS PUNISHABLE BY A RANGE OF IMPRISONMENT UP TO A LIFE TERM, OR THE DEATH PENALTY, DEPENDING UPON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CRIME, AND THE RESULTING INJURY, IF ANY.

Due to the fact that there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of deaths, directly attributable to the abuse suffered at the hands of these criminals, the death penalty is likely warranted in every Family Court and Child Support Agency from coast to coast. No guarantee of immunity should be allowed to protect these criminals from the rule of law.

Most Americans want an end to the war in Iraq. Most would agree that the way to end the war is to cut off funding. Only one problem, no one wants to be perceived as the people responsible for demonstrating a lack of support for our troops.

I think most of us realize that cutting off the so-called child support would end this war on fathers and children, the only problem being that no one wants to be perceived as the people responsible for demonstrating a lack of support for their children.

God only knows how long the war in Iraq will continue. God only knows how many lives will be lost, because we wrongly equate the desire to end the bloodshed, with a lack of support for our troops.

How long are we going to allow this war on fathers and children to continue because we lack the courage and determination to cut off the funding?

No one should confuse child support with helping their children; it’s financing the war on fathers and children.

We should encourage people not to hire attorneys:

We need to organize people to vote. Here is a great idea from Indiana CRC:

I don’t think it does us any good to argue about who is doing more to bring about change. My perception of what needs to happen is different than yours. It will probably take a wide range of efforts. I think we need to stop paying, and I’m doing my best to strictly limit the amount I contribute to this extortion racket. If what Carol Rhodes said is true, (that each dollar collected brings in fifty in matching federal dollars) then I’ve denied these criminals over $5,000,000 from the feds, and I’m proud of that. Money is the motivation for everything these people do, and we need to stop paying the extortion.

While you spend time denouncing efforts of the activist, I caution you that there is a danger in your activism and that is that you may experience a severe case of Carpal Tunnel because it appears that the extent of your efforts is limited to your keyboard.

If you have nothing positive to add to this movement then do us all a favor and do some research and get involved in something worthwhile. There are however a few like yourself who stand only to criticize the efforts of men that not only make a statement, but will be the catalyst for change, you should find those of you with like minds and buy popcorn and maybe a beverage and watch TV on August 11th and 18th as we make this statement nationally.

Minister Ron Smith

The national child support debt is in excess of 102,000,000,000 (billion) dollars and growing. Multiply that number times 50, ( that’s $50 dollars collected in matching federal dollars for every dollar collected in so-called child support according to Carol Rhodes) and you get the astronomical figure of 5,100,000,000,000 (Five Trillion One Hundred Billion) dollars.

What’s the old saying, “money talks – and bullshit walks” … or maybe in this case it rides a bike.

Doesn’t anyone wonder why this guy is getting attention? Most bike riding exhibitions are for charity. Is this a plea for charity, or are we demanding the equal protection of our laws?

If there is a “movement” in father’s/men’s rights, it’s the millions of good men who have refused to pay anymore of this extortion, not the handful of politically correct patsies, who will participate in this farce.
