Holstein Presents Romney with 300 Falsely Accused Fathers' Stories

Submitted by Matt on Tue, 2008-01-15 04:51

Story here. Excerpt:

'In response, Romney, who was governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007, said that he could not recall a circumstance where such a thing had occurred, but said, "If you’re familiar with such, let us know."

We appreciated Romney's offer, and decided to take him up on it. We only had a couple of days to act, since it is widely believed that Romney will drop out of the presidential race if he is not successful in Michigan's primary, which is Tuesday, January 15. Ned Holstein, Executive Director of Fathers & Families, put out an email asking for cases, and I posted my Call to Action! Romney Asks for Cases of Falsely Accused Fathers on Thursday. Your response was overwhelming, and on short notice we collected 300 cases to present to Romney.'

I'm not sure Romney will drop out of the race if he loses Michigan. He has so much money he might continue. I love the effort to educate him on the VAWA but must like most male politicians chivalry will dominate his decision on fathers rights.

Be careful with Mr. "crime fighter" Giuliani. During his tenor as NYC mayor he implemented some of the most harsh domestic violence laws. I'm looking for data to support my comment. Than again, his presidential ambitions are a long shot at this point. If he loses Florida, he's done.

McCain: I have no idea his stance on fathers rights.

Huckabee: He's a "values" candidate so I assume he supports the importance of a fathers role in a child's life.

Obama: He has discussed the importance of fathers during his campaign.

Hillary: She might be our best bet. If she becomes president [good grief!] her anti-male/father attitude will open some eyes. I really believe if Hillary takes the oval office she won't be able to hide her misandry and bigoted attitude towards father. Than again they'll be throwing snow balls in hell before I vote for her.

romney may have good reason to be asking these questions, or maybe not.

the Mormons went VERY quickly from one of the world's lowest divorce rates to the highest, right up there w/ the rest of amerika. and last time i tried to sit through church they were spouting that crap about evil men abandoning their children and bla bal bla, yadda yadda yadda. as a bachelor w/ no intention of getting married i felt as out of place as Ms. Gandy at a MRA rally. i believe even Steve Young made the same sort of comment about the church making no allowances for older male bachelors w/in the church.

Fast forward 10 years: all the "blame men" talk and the divorce rates are still looking like gas prices. maybe they are actually starting to ask real honest questions w/in the church. maybe romney has seen the 'LIGHT'. maybe some truth and honest dialogue about divorce and the corruption w/in family courts is taking place. maybe he sees that the exposure of the systematic corruption and destruction of the family, w/ the (tip of the iceberg) proof my fellow MRA's have provided, might be something the American people are waiting to hear.

or maybe, like what we have grown to expect from decades of past experiences, he just needs some data to grab and say how this is what is happening to women and we must make new laws bla bla bla....

his actions will speak loudly to me.

I know it's a long shot, but he would get my vote if I was in the U.S. Could you imagine a president that would take a stance against misandric BS? That would be a huge victory for our side. I really hope he wins. I'm gonna pray for him.
