Dec 20 Dallas Premier of ‘We The Parents’ Film Exposing Destruction of the Family by Courts

Dallas Jewish Conservatives host the Texas Premier of 'We The Parents' vs 'The State-Sanctioned Destruction of the Family'. Reserve your tickets now HERE for the 6:30PM December 20^th event in Dallas, TX

Equal Shared Parenting is a huge topic. Kids are hurting under the current unequal family court laws that tear kids from equal time with fit, loving parents. Passing Equal Parenting laws is a platform plank of the Republican Party of Texas voted on by the delegates, but it is also a bipartisan issue that is supported by Democrats too. The latest equal parenting bill in Texas authored by State Representative David Cook garnered 2 dozen Republican and Democrat State Representative so authors, but it was not even able to get a hearing in the Texas House Family Committee.

The Equal Parenting movement is only getting bigger and stronger, with major states passing Equal Parenting laws each year, including Florida and Missouri just this year. Every state that votes on it passes it nearly unanimously, but it is the family attorney union that lobbies against the law because, well, families fighting in court is what some family attorneys thrive on to make money. However, there are many great family attorneys out there fighting for kids and families, and who advocate for Equal Parenting laws to pass.

There are now many equal parenting films and documentaries coming out exposing the corruption of the family court system that is tearing families apart. One such movie is 'We The Parents' vs 'The State-Sanctioned Destruction of the Family'

This film makes its public Texas Premier on December 20 in Dallas, TX and is Hosted by the Dallas Jewish Conservatives.

About The Film (50 min run time): The family of American dreams: House. Significant other. Children. And with a single signature…or a single lie…it’s all gone. Life is turned upside down as possessions, rights, a roof over their head, and worst of all, children are stripped away as they head into the abyss of the Family Court System. This is the scenario for millions of separated parents in the U.S., not to mention the shocking number of children growing up without a father.

The parents in this film open their hearts to speak candidly about their experiences, how it feels to be a child-less parent, why the problems exist, and what they’re doing about it. At the heart of the problem is a Family Court System devised and unchanged since the 1950’s. Further, corruption is centralized and apparent with billions of dollars changing hands as child support orders are made, and parenting time and parenting rights are absolutely obliterated.

These parents are not without hope. A fight is underway to eliminate the money-making industrialization of family court, as well as fighting for the simple presumption of 50/50 equal shared parenting.

Single Mother Kim Klacik supports TX Equal Parenting Bill to help Kids & Moms HB3379 & SB1702

see article online at www.texasgopvote.com/family/single-mother-kim-klacik-supports-texas-equal-parenting-bill-help-kids-and-moms-0015106

On April 19, 2023, Kimberly Klacik walked the halls of the Texas State Capitol. Much like her famous congressional campaign commercial where she walked the streets of Baltimore to take a stand against crime and societal ills, Kim came to walk the halls of the Texas Legislature to take a stand to help kids and society and mothers by fighting for equal parenting. Kim has seen how unequal parenting and fatherlessness has so drastically harmed kids and society in Baltimore. She knows that the majority of teen crime, school dropouts, teen pregnancy, teen suicide, and teen drug use, all come from unequal parenting homes and specifically homes where the child does not have both an equally involved father and mother. As a single mother she knows how unequal parenting harms women and puts them at a disadvantage.

When Kim heard about Texas Equal Parenting bill HB 3379 and how it has 27 bipartisan co-authors, she wanted to come to Texas to help shine a light on the need for equal parenting, and to advocate in favor of the bill.

Just like in Baltimore, Kimberly made waves in Texas too. As a black single mother advocating for equal parenting, she completely undercut the arguments of those few lobbyists who oppose equal parenting. The majority of men AND women in Texas and In America support equal parenting. The opposition of equal parenting are the Texas family law foundation lobbyists who oppose equal parenting because it will reduce conflict in court child custody battles, which leads to less money for attorneys. This has been proven in other states like Arkansas and Kentucky where court conflict has decreased following the passage of equal parenting bills. These lobbyists like to use a ridiculous argument of equal parenting only being supported by men who want to oppose women. That is why it was such a big deal to have Kim, a single mother, and the several other women, come walk the halls of the Texas Capitol last week in favor of equal parenting. Kim showed that the lobbyists are wrong. The majority of woman in fact do support equal parenting and they want their voice to be heard in support of equal parenting.

As a single mother, she knows first hand how vital the involvement of a father is for the lives of children, and how important equal parenting is for bringing equality to woman and helping single mothers.

Don’t take our word for it though, watch the following short video interview and hear from Kim Klacik herself:

Click Here to watch Video Interview with Kimberly Klacik on how Texas Equal Parenting Bills will help Kids and Moms

In the video, David Bellow interviews Kimberly Klacik, a single mother who came to Texas (from Baltimore, Maryland) to support the Texas Equal Parenting bills HB 3379 and SB 1702. Kimberly talks about how these bills will greatly help society because everyone benefits when kids have equal access to both fit and loving parents after the parents break up. Specifically, equal parenting will combat fatherlessness, help kids who are greatly harmed by unequal parenting, and help single mothers.

While at the Texas Capitol, Kim Klacik met with, or got to express thanks to, many State Representatives and State Senators who support equal parenting laws, including Senator Bryan Hughes, Representative David Cook, Representative Caroline Harris, Senator Angela Paxton, and Senator Mayes Middleton.

Harold Dutton, the Chairman of the Texas Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee, will decide if he will listen to the people of Texas and the 27 co-authors by allowing the bill to get a hearing and a vote, or he will decide if he wants to ignore the people and kill the bill that could help millions of lives in Texas. This issue deserves a hearing and a vote.

What is Equal Parenting and what are Equal Parenting laws?

With Equal Parenting Laws, kids in Texas would start off in court custody cases with a check box of equal time and possession with both mom AND dad, as long as they are both fit, willing, and able. This helps the kids by preserving their right to a loving relationship with both parents as the starting point when fit parents break up, as well as cuts down unnecessary court fighting over custody, when both parents are fit, willing, and able.

There is no risk to children as equal parenting would only be applicable in cases where both parents are fit and there is no domestic violence or child abuse (which the majority of child custody cases involve fit parents who just want to bicker in court fighting over who gets more time with the children instead of sharing the children). A judge would still have the ability to deviate from the equal parenting starting point based on just cause to justify deviation. Equal parenting laws are a vital issue that can help kids and unclog courts and also benefit society as a whole!

TX Equal Parenting HB3379 will Help Millions of Kids Harmed in Custody Battles

Call Chairman Harold Dutton and ask him to set a timely hearing for the Texas Equal Parenting Bill. Millions of kids and dozens of Texas Representative coauthors deserve for this bill to get a fair vote instead of being killed in committee.

Texas House Bill HB 3379 and SB1702 (Equal Parenting/Equal Responsibility) will lower court conflict and help fit, willing, and able parents more easily get equal time with their kids without having to spend thousands of dollars in bitter court fights. However, The BIGGEST thing Equal Parenting bills will do is Help Millions of Kids who are Hurting. There is no denying that one of the greatest issues we face as society is a nation without fathers, which Hurts Kids. The Stats and Facts of the negative effects of unequal parenting and fatherlessness is shocking and heart wrenching and we MUST help our kids NOW!

Kids Need Both and Mother and a Father in their lives EQUALLY. The Facts show that Kids and Hurting and Dying due to Unequal Parenting and Fatherlessness

• 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.
• 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.
• 85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average.  (Center for Disease Control)
• 80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average.  (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)
• 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average.  (National Principals Association Report)

-          Father Factor in Drug and Alcohol Abuse – Researchers at Columbia University found that children living in two-parent household with a poor relationship with their father are 68% more likely to smoke, drink, or use drugs compared to all teens in two-parent households.

-          70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average.  (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)

-          85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average.  (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)

-          Father Factor in Incarceration – Even after controlling for income, youths in father-absent households still had significantly higher odds of incarceration than those in mother-father families. Youths who never had a father in the household experienced the highest odds. A 2002 Department of Justice survey of 7,000 inmates revealed that 39% of jail inmates lived in mother-only households.

-          Father Factor in Crime – A study of 109 juvenile offenders indicated that family structure significantly predicts delinquency. Adolescents, particularly boys, in single-parent families were at higher risk of status, property and person delinquencies. Moreover, students attending schools with a high proportion of children of single parents are also at risk. A study of 13,986 women in prison showed that more than half grew up without their father. Forty-two percent grew up in a single-mother household and sixteen percent lived with neither parent

-          Father Factor in Child Abuse – Compared to living with both parents, living in a single-parent home doubles the risk that a child will suffer physical, emotional, or educational neglect. The overall rate of child abuse and neglect in single-parent households is 27.3 children per 1,000, whereas the rate of overall maltreatment in two-parent households is 15.5 per 1,000.

-          Daughters of single parents without a Father involved are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 711% more likely to have children as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a pre-marital birth and 92% more likely to get divorced themselves.

Unequal Parenting has DEVASTATED & HARMED Children – We must pass Texas HB 3379 & SB1702

The majority of teen crime, teen drug use, teen pregnancy, teen suicide, Teen School Dropouts, and even nearly all school shooters had unequal parenting homes. This Crisis is harming children and society. Texas family law doesn’t have an equal starting point. The current family law of unequal standard possession order incentivizes parents to fight in court over more time and use kids as pawns. Kids get hurt when parents fight instead of equally parenting. The family court starting point should be equal parenting when both parents are fit because this is best for the children. Kids have a right to equal access to both fit parents.

Sixty peer-reviewed studies prove that it's best for kids when they spend equal time with both parents. The science and medical professionals and university studies all agree kids need equal parenting. Furthermore, not only do we know that equal parenting helps children, we unfortunately also know that unequal parenting harms children and society GREATLY.

Kids Need Both a Mom and a Dad Equally, and the facts show that Kids and Society are hurting and suffering without equal parenting and due to Fatherlessness.

The Texas Equal Parenting Bill HB 3379 and SB 1702 will make the new standard possession order starting point be equal possession and access in custody cases where a Judge has determined both parents are joint managing conservators. When both parents are fit, the children should have a right to see them both equally as a starting point, and then a Judge still has the discretion to go down from there with just cause. Kids win! Less Court Conflict!

The unequal parenting system is hurting society and hurting children and it incentivizes fighting and bickering in court to get more time. This New Equal Parenting Law will make Equal Possession and Access the NEW Standard Starting Point in child custody cases when both parents are fit. This means a Kid starts of at getting to see BOTH good parents equally as the starting point without having to fight for it. This will cut out lots of fighting in court and cut down on harm to children.

Under HB 3379 and SB 1702, a Judge will still have discretion to go down from equal parenting based on written findings of issues that, for instance, if evidence shows it would harm the child’s health and mental wellbeing, or if the parents live 1000 miles away, etc. So Equal Parenting Laws do not take away from a Judge’s ability to still make decisions in child custody cases based on evidence of issues that would support not having exactly equal parenting.

Texas Equal Parenting bill HB3379 Has 27 bipartisan Authors - Give it a Floor Vote!

 Men – Women – Black – White – Hispanic – Republican – Democrat

TX HB 3379, the Equal Parenting Bill, brings Texas together from all races and political beliefs to HELP KIDS and society. The people deserve a floor vote, but the bill will die if it doesn’t get a timely hearing.

Many Women Reps have said they will VOTE YES for this Equal Parenting bill including Dr. Alma Allen, Elizabeth Campos, Caroline Harris, and Terri Leo-Wilson. Don’t let the paid lobbyists Amy & Steve Bresnen SILENCE the voices of the many women who support equal parenting by denying these women, and men, a fair up or down floor vote. The people want and deserve a floor vote! Last session the Equal Parenting Bill was killed by a late hearing, and the lobbyists bragged about delaying the bills that would have hurt the income of their law practice (less fighting means less money). Surely kids and society are important enough to get a timely hearing. Equal parenting will eventually pass like in other states, and the lobbyists will go down in history as opposing kids by opposing the right for kids to see both fit parents equally. Let History show that you did not also oppose kids.

In a time of such great division in politics, TX HB 3379 is bringing both sides of the isle together to have a major positive impact on kids and on society. This is one of the most widely supported, most bi-partisan bills in the juvenile, justice, and family issues committee this Texas Legislative Session. This issue is not about politics, this issue is about the massive need to fix a broken system that is hurting children and incentivizing parents to fight in court. This is about creating equality and stability for children with both of their fit and loving parents after the parents break up. These bill authors represent millions of people who support the fact that kids need both parents in their lives equally if both parents are fit, willing, and able. All scientific and medical studies and experts agree that kids with equal parenting are more stable and healthier across all measurable metrics.

Breaking News – VIDEO: Riot Police Protect Speakers from Mob at UNT in Denton, TX

Conservative speaker and Texas State Representative runoff candidate Jeff Younger and others had to be swept away by police as an angry mob swarmed the building and inside the room where Jeff Younger was speaking to the Young Conservatives of Texas.

Updated: video added below showing protestor assault Jeff Younger by spitting on him.

Rustin Wright was at the event and he described being escorted out and locked in a room surrounded by police protection, as the angry mob could be heard shouting outside.

Joseph Lowrey was at the event and described police, possibly snipers, on the rooftops and a line of a dozen more police cars arriving as they were lucky to get out of the building and away from the angry mob.

Jeff Morgan posted on Facebook asking for prayers as they were taken into police protection.

Below are some of the video clips showing the chaos as it unfolded:

The angry mob was not there to debate or discuss the issues, and they were not there to support the first amendment right to free speech. The mob of hundreds were there to create violence and disruption and to shout down Jeff Younger from being heard. It was as if this was not America and was instead a communist country where you can only have one opinion and differing opinions get you drug out to the street and executed.

I can respect different opinions and can respect people showing up to peacefully protest or express their free speech, and to engage in discussion or debating or speaking out about what they believe. I cannot respect what happened here and it is downright un-American. They did not like someone’s opinion so they took over the room and screamed and spit on the speakers in an attempt to completely silence opinions that differ from their own.

Jeff Younger was not there to oppose gay people. I don’t think he cares what people want to do with their own lives as adults. He was there to speak about something that even many gay people completely agree with him on. He was there to advocate against parents being able to physically or chemically castrate young boys, children, in an effort to do elective sex changes. That physical, irreversible, life changing procedure is something that the individual child should have the right to decide on their own when they become an adult if they want to have the procedure. No parent should make physical life altering elective medical procedures for a child, and no child is capable of making that decision themselves until they are old enough to make decisions for themselves and understand the decisions they are making. Kids can’t even vote or own guns or even smoke until a certain age, and they should certainly not be able to decide to cut off a part of their body in an elective procedure until they are an adult, and no adult should be able to make that decision for a child either as the decision belongs to that child once becoming an adult.

These child gender mutilation procedures are now declared to be child abuse as declared in a recent opinion by the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Marcelo Molfino JP campaign bankrolled by corrupt Democrat Bob Wortham

Marcelo Molfino JP campaign bankrolled by corrupt Democrats. Democrat DA Bob Wortham has given thousands to Molfino according to campaign finance reports. Molfino is running as a Republican but where will his allegiance really lie? It is time Jefferson County Republicans stopped the cycle of corruption. Bob Wortham is one of the most corrupt Democrats in Jefferson County. Wortham let the BISD corrupt Democrat school leaders off the hook with Molfino at his side. Wortham refused to charge Democrat Sheriff Zena Stephens who took 5k under the table money from a convicted gambler who Wortham knew had an illegal gambling ring and never prosecuted him for it, all with Molfino by his side. When an officer in Port Arthur filed a lawsuit against Wortham for refusing to file charges against Molfino and then retaliating against the officer, the lawsuit states that Wortham told the officer that Molfino is his boy. When the DA leadership put out a termination letter against Molfino for lying and stealing, which led to Molfino's resignation, Wortham went to the PA news and stated that Molfino was not in trouble and didn't know why he resigned. Wortham lied to the public about the termination of Molfino. The sitting DA would boldly lie to cover for Molfino, and then he gives thousands of dollars to Molfino to win a Republican campaign? Jefferson County Republicans must stop this corruption in Jefferson County. Molfino will be an extension of the Democrat Wortham yall have known is corrupt. You can't even trust that Molfino is being honest about his separation from the DA office and Molfino is bankrolled by Democrat Bob Wortham. Molfino can't be trusted as a Republican and he can't be trusted in general.

Marcelo Molfino criminal violations in Jefferson County Justice of the Peace election campaign

Disgraced former Jefferson County District Attorney investigator Marcelo Molfino committed criminal violations in his Justice of the Peace election campaign. This after he was recently fired for stealing taxpayer funds by falsifying his time card, to which the DA leaders determined he then lied to them and was unfit to be an officer of the court. Molfino might throw around money to others but that doesn't excuse his criminal behavior and it is stolen money he is throwing around. After filing to run for office, Molfino refused for months to file his semi annual campaign finance reports to reveal his finances which is a criminal misdemeanor and civil violation of law. What was he hiding? Will leaders and citizens demand he repay the money he stole from taxpayers? How can he run anything if he has been found to have stolen taxpayer funds and then isn't even competent to file campaign finance reports?

Peaceful Rally and March for Equal Parenting at Texas State Capitol May 24 - HB 803

Peaceful Rally and March at Texas State Capitol in Support of Equal Parenting HB 803: The Last Frontier of Equality 

Why is this popular and vital bill (Texas House Bill 803) being stalled? Why is the JJFI Committee ignoring the cries for Equality from kids and parents and legislators? 

 

When and Where: 

May 24, 2021 at 10AM at South Side of Texas State Capitol 

 

Why: Equal Parenting is important for kids who are hurting without equal access to both fit and loving parents. Equal Parenting is important for women to achieve true equality, and for fathers who frequently get cut out of the lives of children, and it is important for veterans who fought for their country only to come back from was and not get equal rights. With 22 bi-partisan Co-authors and massive support from most Texans, it is hard to believe that the members of the Texas JJFI Committee stalled the bill and has not allowed it to go the House floor for a vote. There were 150 parents who came to the hearing last month in support of HB 803, and there was very little opposition to this bill which would create equality and greatly help kids and society, which studies show are greatly damaged with unequal parenting. Why are the people being ignored? 

We will have a peaceful rally at the Texas Capitol in support of Parental Equality and the Rights of Kids to see both of their fit and loving parents. Media is welcome and encouraged so that the general public is aware of this important bill and the fight for equality and a better society. 

Was it stalled by the three attorneys on the JJFI committee at the behest of the attorney lobbyists who only want to keep a system that created conflict with parents fighting and hurting their kids as they go to court over and over and try to get more time than the other parent for no reason even though both parents are fit and good (equal parenting does not apply to unfit parents such as domestic abusers or parents who live to far from each other to be workable etc). Why would anyone stand against equality and an equal starting point for kids to see both of their parents which all studies show is vital to their health and wellbeing? Equal Parenting would cut down on conflict in family courts and encourage fit parents to just get along and share their kid for the best interest of their kid. Equal Parenting helps low-income families who cannot afford expensive attorneys and get forced with less time with their kids, or spend all their money trying to beg a judge to give them equal time. Equal Parenting is important for fathers (and mothers) who don't get to be involved in the lives of their kids even though they are fit loving parents, simply because the current unequal family laws separate kids from one or the other parent for no other reason except wanting to hold onto an outdated unequal system of law and the standard possession order that needs changed.

District Attorney Declares Marcelo Molfino UNFIT to be an Officer – Termination Report Released by Jefferson County DA Bob Wortham

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 5/5/2021:

Document released by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s office show that the heads of all DA departments met with DA Bob Wortham and determined that Investigator Marcelo Molfino was to be terminated for lying, among other violations, and they found him to be unfit to serve as an officer of the court.

This DA Office Memo shows Marcelo Molfino was to be Terminated for Lying, Wage Theft, Violation of Policy, and Being Unfit to Be Officer. This is after a multi-year investigation by David Bellow. Thousands of cases could be called into question after this proof of Molfino's falsifications has been revealed.

The heads of the Departments within the DA’s office then typed up and signed this termination recommendation with a detailed description of their findings. I obtained this signed document through an open records request. I have attached this document to this article.

Marcelo Molfino claims he resigned with no issues, and the local news even claimed Molfino resigned with no issues, but that was just simply another lie by Molfino. As the document attached clearly proves, Molfino resigned after he was already set to be fired based on signed findings of termination by the heads of the District Attorney’s office. To report anything other than that is deceiving the public about a public servant who way lying and stealing and fired for it. Resignation in lieu of termination or a forced resignation is legally considered being fired.

This ends a half-decade saga, and vindicates me, David Bellow. I originally blew the whistle on Marcelo Molfino wage theft several years ago when I discovered that he was fraudulently taking comp time that didn’t seem to be earned, so that he could get paid by the taxpayers while he was doing illegal side jobs during his government day shift. The Texas DPS actually determined that Molfino had violated the law by practicing without a license with his side jobs, but the DA, his boss, refused to prosecute and overlooked the county policy violations such as side work not being cleared with the county so that there is no conflict of interest.

Marcelo Molfino then retaliated against me after I blew the whistle him. While still being investigated by the State, Molfino brought bogus charges against me and he himself even wrote, and falsified, the arrest warrant. It was a massive conflict of interest and a clear retaliation to try to shild himself from the criminal probe I initiated against him.? I fought back and all charges were eventually dismissed. The Texas Rangers then brought an investigation against Molfino and the DA’s office for Perjury and Official Oppression against me. They were going to bring charges and even convened a grand jury against the sitting DA office, but Molfino escaped charges due to the statue of limitations having just run out. Marcelo Molfino didn’t learn though. He went right back to using unearned comp time to steal money from the taxpayers.

Earlier this year, I did an open records request, and that is when I uncovered that Molfino finally slipped up in covering his tracks. He put on his time card that he was taking comp time and he listed the date the comp time was earned as a date that he could not have earned comp time because he was already getting taxpayer emergency pay to stay home and not work on that day. Furthermore, that day he said he earned comp time, he was in another city doing a side job that was not even cleared by the county.

That is theft of taxpayer money. I brought my concern to the District Attorney Open Records officer and requested more information and documents. Next thing you know, Marcelo Molfino resigns unexpectedly. Some did not believe what I was saying because Molfino gets involved in the community so as to appear to be an honest man, so I then did an information request for the records. That is what brings us to this article right now, and the attached county document that shows Marcelo Molfino was set to be terminated for the very same things I had turned him in for several years ago. The disbelief can be laid to rest. The documents show that this man who presented himself as honest was actually using his power and position to steal taxpayer money and retaliate against those who challenged him.

A community has been freed from a corrupt investigator who had intentionally used his power to oppress dozens of people over the years. One black man, Omar Daw, even spent 3 years in jail until the US Attorney released him based on Marcelo Molfino having been involved with an informant planting a gun in the Omar’s car. Molfino would frequently get parents in child custody family court cases to hire him and pay him money, and Molfino would then turn around and bring some criminal charge involving the ex of the person who paid him, which would give a leg up in family courts to the person who Paid Molfino. Molfino even testified under oath to getting paid $1500 cash from my ex-wife, Courtney Hudson. It was a family court, criminal enterprise run by Molfino and nothing short of bribery and public corruption. That is how I first came to know Molfino when my ex-wife, who admitted to being violent with me and leaving our one year old son in cars in parking lots, hired him because she was wanting to keep me from seeing my son even though I was by all accounts an amazing loving and involved father who has never even been accused of not being a good father. Molfino tried to go after me, but I fought back and dug for the truth, and now I am happy to say that I have been vindicated. The false charges Molfino brought against me have long been dismissed, but now I can finally show that what I was saying all along about Molfino was true now that Marcelo Molfino’s own department heads determined he lied and was unfit to be an officer.

This chapter of corruption in Jefferson County is finally coming to a close.

 

Is there a Conflict with Texas Representatives paying for Lobbyists to Kill Equal Parenting Bills?

The Texas Family Law Foundation spent 3/4 million dollars to pay lobbyists Steve and Amy Bresnen to kill Equal Parenting bills in the past 5 years. Is it a conflict of interest for a Representative to be on the JJFI committee that might kill an equal parenting bill, while at the same time paying dues that fund these lobbyists to kill equal parenting bills? 

Investigative Reporter Wayne Dolcefino has just released a video report about the Texas Family Law Foundation and the JJFI Committee. this video raises questions of if there is a conflict that is killing Parental Equality in Texas which is hurting kids and families.

See Video Report here:

https://youtu.be/iUQ174oHqec 

Rep. Ana-Marie Ramos and Rep. David Cook and Chairwoman Victoria Neave, please stand with the people of Texas and don't follow the misguided path of the for-profit lobbyists. Show you are not just a legislator in their pocket to kill and Equal Parenting bill that the people overwhelmingly want and that Kids need. Call for a vote on HB 803 and pass it out of committee so it can get a vote on the floor instead of just being killed in committee at the behest of the lobbyists over the desires of the people and 22 bi-partisan co-authors.  

These lobbyists brag about using their influence to delay these bills so they die, even though they would otherwise pass overwhelmingly on the floor, such as HB 803 Equal Parenting Bill. There is no question that the bills the TFLF support or oppose all come down to whether or not the bill will increase or decrease revenue for attorneys. They tried to use dirty tricks this session with a letter saying that equal parenting is only about dads who want to go against women, but these lobbyists were shut down swiftly by a counter letter showing that women are at the Capitol daily advocating for equal parenting because it helps moms too and most importantly it is best for kids and society. Emma Johnson with Moms for Shared Parenting even makes a compelling case that women will not get true equality and close the pay gap until courts have both parents chare in the duties of raising a child instead of just telling a women to stay home and raise the child after a divorce, even though the woman must also work too. The Bresnens knew of these women fighting for Equal Parenting this session, but chose to ignore and silence these women to promote their agenda.

Is it a conflict of interest for a Representative to be on the JJFI committee that might kill an equal parenting bill, while at the same time paying dues that fund these lobbyists to kill equal parenting bills? These lobbyists look out for the income of the attorneys they represent, that is the bottom line, they don't look out for families.

Rep Ana Ramos and Rep David Cook are new reps and they are family attorneys. The website lists them both as members of the TFLF. I fear they might have been fed the standard lies by these lobbyists because they sure did talk the points of the family law foundation lobbyists at the April 26 HB 803 Hearing. Points that have been disproven over and over again and points that go against the will of the majority of Texas who support and want equal parenting and parental equality. There are even 22 bipartisan co-authors of HB 803 and we can't even get a vote on this equal parenting bill? The TFLF are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of these freshmen reps who do not know the history of even last session's equal parenting bill that passed out of committee 7 to 1, and the TFLF arguments were soundly defeated by a woman, and mother, State Representative Gina Calanni.

For instance, Rep Cook used the old TFLF talking point and insisted that you can already get Equal Parenting in Courts, but this is something that has been thoroughly vetted and disproved even in last session's JJFI Committee. Rep. Gina Calanni did a fantastic job of getting the TFLF attorneys to admit it might cost 50k for a good attorney to go to court and try to get equal parenting or even just to get a judge to give expanded standard instead of the standard possession order. Rep. Calanni rightfully stated that the current system is not good for low-income people who cannot afford attorneys and not good for families. Why are we making good fit parents have to fight and bicker in have conflict over who gets more time with kids, instead of just having a starting point of equal parenting for parents who the court deems fit joint managing conservators? Rep. Cook also insisted on the TFLF idea that there already is near equal parenting time in the law, but that has been thoroughly disproven too. Rep. Calanni last session even blasted the TFLF attorneys for insisting there was already near equal time, but then the TFLF attorneys could not even come up with the numbers how much time one parent got over the other in the current system. Fortunately, Rep Calanni did the math and some years it is only 88 overnights in an entire year for one parent with their child with the every other weekend standard possession order where a child doesn't get to see one parent except one weekend every 2 weeks. That is not good for a child. Even worse for Rep Cook, he is opposing the Texas Republican Platform by standing in the way of Equal Parenting.

Rep. Ramos used the old TFLF talking point that it isn't good for kids to go back and forth, even though it has been thoroughly disproven over the years as well. EVERY study and expert over the past couple of decades has shown that equal parenting time is best for children in every measurable metric, regardless of having to go back and forth. This is because it is the separation from one parent that does the greatest harm to children and leads to drastically worse outcomes for children who do not have both parents in their lives equally. The separation from a parent hurts a child, not the going back and forth between 2 loving homes. In fact, with equal parenting schedules you can have even less going back and forth with week to week with one back and forth a week vs. the standard possession order which gives one parent 2 hours every Thursday which is a back and forth all in a one afternoon time span.

Rep Ramos and Rep Cook and Rep Neave, I believe you were elected with good intentions of doing right and representing your constituents and I believe you can rise above the conflict and do the right thing for the people. Don't believe the lies of the TFLF and don't follow the path of being another Rep that these lobbyists swayed to kill a bill that the people want and the kids need. The people are speaking out and they want equal parenting. Only the paid lobbyists or attorneys who profit from conflict are against it. It is profits vs the people. Please take a stand and show you don't just do what the Texas Family Law foundation lobbyists say to do. These lobbyists brag that they have swayed reps in the past to kill equal parenting bills. Please call for a vote on HB 803 and please vote for HB 803. That will show you are not a part of this group of lobbyist's profit agenda, and it will show you stand with the people of Texas and it will show you stand with minorities and low-income families and women and kids, all of whom will benefit from equal parenting, in addition to helping fathers get equal time with kids.
