ABOUT US:

The FAMILY PRESERVATION FESTIVAL is the DCRally2008...


A CELEBRATION...

DCRally2008... is a celebration. It is a festival honoring the "family" and the families of our nation. We recognize that the "family" is the cornerstone of our society and the family must be cherished and protected.

A COALITION...

DCRally2008... is a coalition of men and women, mothers, fathers, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, veterans, churches, professionals, businesses, organizations as well as friends and neighbors from all walks and creeds coming together united in the common cause of protecting and preserving the family and honoring the fundamental right of the parent-child relationship.


The PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP...

DCRally2008... recognizes that the parent-child relationship is the most important and significant of all relationships in our society. From this most basic relationship other relationships flow. We highlight and honor our most important fundamental right, the parent-child relationship because it is the heart of family. This fundamental relationship determines, in greatest measure, the success of all other societal relationships and ultimately equates to and is the pulse of the success of America.

CONCERNS...

DCRally2008... will address the concerns that parents face regarding the incentives for divorce and the state's unjustified interference and intrusion into the private and protected zone of the family life. The involvement of both willing and fit parents is an important consideration for the healthy development of our children.

DCRally2008... will address the plight of families who face unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations of abuse and/or neglect and offer viable solutions that help families, not hinder them. The state has an obligation and a responsibility to assist families without destroying familial relationships. The family and familial relationships deserve respect and the protection of government beginning with respect and protection of the parent-child relationship.

DCRally2008... will address the unjustified unwarranted medication of our children, oftentimes without parental consent and with total disregard to the long term affects such medication produces.

DCRally2008... will address the foster care and adoption crisis facing America.

AND PLEASE, LET US NOT FORGET...

DCRally2008... reminds America that children are our greatest resource and children deserve to know who they are based on their ability to maintain familial bonds and blood ties.

DCRally2008... reminds America that paternity fraud is fraud and that the establishment of paternity and the nurturing of both paternal and maternal relationships result in a substantial decrease in every aspect and measure of the social ills which plague this nation.

INTERGENERATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS...

DCRally2008... reminds America that the extended family is a source of economic and emotional strength for children. Children have an inherent need and right to intergenerational relationships. These relationships strengthen the family and they strengthen America.

VETERANS ARE OUR BACKBONE...

DCRally2008... reminds America that oftentimes veterans are treated with disrespect, indifference and contempt in matters relating to familial issues. Yet veterans are the backbone of America and they deserve this nation's respect in all matters.

WHAT AMERICA NEEDS... SOLUTIONS...

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to declare August 18 th “Family Preservation Day”. ‘Family' is the foundation of our society, our culture and our nation and preserving the family is a cause second to none.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to issue a formal apology to the Vietnam veterans for the disrespectful manner with which they were treated upon arrival home. A congressional apology is long over due and is appropriate. America 's healing begins with an apology.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to pass the Family Preservation and Reconciliation Act (FPRA). FPRA is of vital importance to America and to families because FPRA formally recognizes and protects the fundamental right of the parent-child relationship. FPRA allows parents to parent children. Parenting our children according to our own cultures and ethnicities is essential in restoring the melting pot called “ America ” to its status of greatness. Passage of FPRA will also substantially reduce foster care and adoption fraud both of which presently plague America.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to re-evaluate and amend specific aspects of Title IV. The unintended consequences of certain provisions of Title IV have created incentives for states to maintain adversarial rather than reconciliatory protocols when dealing with families. Reconciliatory protocols must be the base line not the exception.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to re-evaluate and amend the Bradley Amendment. This Amendment, which may have been well intended at its inception, like Title IV has unintended consequences which defy logic, reason and fundamental fairness.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress to re-evaluate and amend the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). No one of sound mind (men and women) believes that violence in any form should be tolerated. However, the current manner by which VAWA is interpreted and utilized both as a funding stream and as an advocate's tool produces unwarranted abuse to men, women, children and families nationwide.

DCRally2008... is asking the Federal Congress and the State legislatures to support and implement public policies that promote familial preservation and reconciliation, hence civility, in all matters involving the family and all therein because that's the best option for America.
