We have been holding lots of small rallies that aren't on the website. We held one today with about 13 people with signs, a bullhorn, and tons of fliers, at the Democratic Convention. We challenged the democrats for losing sight of their values, for becoming femicrats, and for driving so many men out of their party, and we informed hundreds of them, perhaps thousands, about fathers' rights and paternity fraud. We were both outside and inside.

Tomorrow Warren will speak at a church service, a homeless center, and a dinner (three separate events). This is an exhausting campaign but it's very worthwhile and we thank everyone for their support.

We're getting the issues out one small event at a time.

09-13 & 09-14: This 2-day Daily Activist Challenge is to catch up on helping Farrell! I know its not always convenient to do a small bit of activism every day, so lets all take advantage of the extra time on the weekends to catch up. The challenge is to pick 10 challenges from the archives which you haven't yet done and do them over the weekend. The reward will be knowing you've put some real effort out in helping the movement and Farrell's campaign. Good luck!

What a thing to see in a typically FHM/Maxim - oriented site. I love it I love it I love it. Note, some points are made that even veteran male advocates forget sometimes. Good stuff."

I love the line:

"I don't really blame myself for what happened, but I still haven't entirely forgiven myself for the hurt that people experienced when they lost their jobs, lost their counsellors, lost their services."

Huh?

Donna Laframboise gives us a bit more detail here:

Bob Geldof, formally of the punk band the Boomtown Rats, has decided to speak up for deadbolt dads. Sky News tells us that...

"He was speaking at the launch of a new book on the subject, Children and Their Families, to which he which he has contributed a chapter.

He told the audience, which included Cherie Blair, parents should get equal "50-50" access to their children, as in Denmark."

Yep, you got it. A German court ruled that a man divorced from his wife owes her new husband part of his pension after she died. So a man is paying the man his wife hooked up with after she dies because she hooked up with him after they divorced.

Why does Yahoo! News keep putting stuff like this in the Oddly Enough category when it ought to be in a new category called Civil Rights Violations of Men category?

Again, stay single. Here and abroad."

While there are some side effects, this new treatment shows great potenial. It does look like the way ahead. "In a study published in the journal Urology, Japanese researchers tested a new method that uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to deliver intense sound energy to destroy the tumor without damaging the surrounding tissue."

This just in from the Farrell Campaign...



"CARLSBAD, Ca. At the Los Angeles Convention Center at 10:30 a.m. on

To quote: "If a deeply-rooted military tradition of male-only draft registration is to be ended, it should be accomplished by that branch of government which has the constitutional power to do so and which best represents the 'consent of the governed' - the Congress of the United States, the elected representatives of the people"
Hmmm, I got a few opinions about this, but let's read the article for now.

Neil Steyskal writes "Today, Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reviewed a new novel about a fraudulent sexual-harassment lawsuit: "You Look Nice Today," by Stanley Bing. It sounds like a good read. Here's the amazon.com
review"

Jolly Stainsby, a member of the father's rights group Fathers-4-Justice, has tied himself to a crane from which he intends to stage week long protest of the way father's rights are treated in court. See this Echo&Exress News article for more details.

The Times Recorder reports that "Money that Jonathan Sims paid for child support -- for a child that was determined through DNA testing not to be his daughter -- was finally returned to him last week by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services through the Muskingum County Child Support Enforcement Agency"

Code Monkey writes "This month's Men's Health magazine includes an article about the way men are overwhelmingly portrayed as idiots and losers in today's sitcoms. While the author doesn't do much more than complain about this situation and offer examples of it, I do think this is a good sign that the issue is being discussed in a maintstream mag like Men's Health. The media does have an impact on our culture and we should care about the consistently negative portrayals of men as incompetent jerks on TV."

mens_issues writes "I have created a new Yahoo! Group called Warren Farrell for
governor. The web address of the group is:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WarrenFarrellForGove rnor/

Please join this group and support Warren in his bid for governor of
California. Even a couple of hundred members would bring this group
into the top ten California politics groups, making it more visible
to those seeking such groups on the web.

Anon User Writes: "One of the greatest dangers men and fathers face today is the way restraining orders based on false domestic violence allegations are used to drive fathers out of their children's lives. There have been numerous documented cases of decent fathers being arrested for sending their children birthday cards, attending their son's Little League games, or calling their own children at the wrong time of the day. Last night Craig, a Seattle father of two who was sentenced to three months in jail for returning his ex-wife's phone call, told his story on His Side with Glenn Sacks on KRLA 870 AM in Los Angeles and KKOL AM 1300 in Seattle/Tacoma.
