I left a nice comment there-

Children's "Protective" Services agents belong to UNIONS.

Which union?

Many of them belong to the SEIU. (Service Employees International Union).

This was a real SEIU graphic I cobbed off
the internet in 1999.  The original words were-
Public Services You Can Count On.

Do you see any possible problem with CPS union members kidnapping kids and holding them hostage, while making the parents jump through all sorts of ridiculous hoops (just like hazing)?

Do you see any possible problem with CPS agents terrifying parents into signing CONTRACTS that compel people to submit to CPS agents whims? Do you see any problem with these contracts being ADHESION CONTRACTS? (Contracts that require all sorts of things by the signer, and NO requirements for the person forcing the contract).

Do you see any problem with the courts involved with CPS cases are Administrative Law courts A.K.A. "Civil Courts" A.K.A. "Kangaroo courts" A.K.A. "China Courts" A.K.A. unconstitutional courts of NO DUE PROCESS , because child abuse is NOT a crime?

CONFER: Government encroaching on parental rights

November 7, 2011
By Bob Confer
Niagara Gazette

Column by Bob Confer — Once the government has its foot in the door through the federally sponsored Home Visiting Program, it will have carte blanche to manage all facets of child care. Failure to comply with the “suggestions” provided will likely result in intervention by family courts and other publically provided social functions under the guise of child protection, ultimately inducing the destruction of that family unit. That’s a heady outcome from a program sold to Congress — and the people — as being voluntary.

One of the goals of the program is to improve parenting skills and child development. That, in itself, is a purposely nebulous endeavor: What exactly defines good parenting and a well-developed child and who sets the criteria? Looking at the social engineering that is foisted upon kids these days, some of the desired outcomes are obvious. FULL STORY

"As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight." --Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

In 'universal' flu shot push, medical industry admits current flu shots are useless

Tuesday, November 08, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The medical community is in the process of unveiling a "universal" influenza vaccine that it claims will prevent all flu strains with a single jab. The only problem is that, in the process, the system has inadvertently admitted that current flu shots are medically useless because they fail to target the correct flu strain in many cases, and they do not stimulate a natural flu-fighting immune response even when the strain is a match.

A recent report by CBS 11 News in Dallas / Fort Worth explains that researchers from the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have identified a compound they say spurs the growth of a key protein known as REDD-1, which prevents cells from becoming infected. By injecting this compound into patients, REDD-1 will increase, say the researchers, and thus effectively prevent any strain of flu from taking hold.

But what about current flu vaccines? Dr. Beatrice Fontoura, one of the head researchers involved with the new universal flu shot, explained to CBS 11 that it works differently than current flu shots because it "stimulates our own (immune) response which is already there and boost[s] it to fight an infection."

In other words, flu shots being sold today at pharmacies across the country do not actually promote natural immunity at all, which begs an important question. If current flu shots do not boost the immune response, then what, exactly, are they good for?

Not much, according to a recent study published in The Lancet. Though the mainstream media widely reported that the study's findings showed an effectiveness rate of 60 percent for flu shots, actual data in the study reveal that flu shots help about 1.5 out of every 100 adults. This, of course, translates into a measly 1.5 percent effectiveness rate http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_influenza_vaccines_effectiveness.html

And yet, for years, medical professionals everywhere have been hounding the public to get their flu shots or else face horrific sickness and even death. And those who continue to avoid the flu shot based on concerns about its safety and effectiveness have been routinely dubbed "anti-science," or worse.

Ironically, the CBS 11 piece about the universal flu shot also contains an interview with a woman who admits that she stopped getting the flu shot because it made her sick every single year. Once she stopped getting flu shots, she stopped getting the flu. So why, again, do we even need a universal flu shot?

Shoddy records stall drug probe at Florida Department of Juvenile Justice

By DARA KAM AND MICHAEL LAFORGIA
Palm Beach Post Staff Writers
Updated: 12:24 a.m. Friday, Nov. 4, 2011
Posted: 9:53 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, 2011

TALLAHASSEE — Shoddy record-keeping by the Department of Juvenile Justice is hampering the agency's own investigation into the dosing of jailed children with powerful antipsychotic drugs, the department's head told a top state lawmaker this week.

In a letter to state Sen. Ronda Storms, Secretary Wansley Walters wrote that the in-house review was taking a "frustratingly long time" largely due to a "lack of electronic medical records."

With no centralized database, officials have no easy way of telling how many jailed children are taking antipsychotic drugs or whether the drugs were prescribed properly.

Storms, who met with Walters on Tuesday for an update on the drugging probe, said Thursday that measures should be taken to improve the department's records system.

"What I was surprised by and what (Walters) is surprised by is there is no easy record-keeping in DJJ to determine who is doing what," said Storms, R-Valrico, head of the Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Committee. "That is a problem. And the fix to that is relatively easy in my opinion."

Florida's inability to access its own medical records was a key finding of a Palm Beach Post investigation published this spring. The series showed that the Department of Juvenile Justice plied children with heavy doses of powerful antipsychotic drugs, and that a third of the psychiatrists hired to prescribe drugs for jailed children had taken payments or gifts from drugmakers.

In May, responding to The Post's stories, Walters ordered internal investigators to scrutinize the department's use of the potent medications, which can cause serious health problems in children. But the effort, Walters wrote Tuesday, is moving slowly because investigators are slogging through paper records from more than 124 jails and homes statewide.

Although Storms and Walters agreed that DJJ medical records should be easily searchable, they apparently have different ideas about how such a system should work.

Storms said she wants the department to tap into the Florida Safe Families Network, a case management database the Department of Children and Families operates. The system is supposed to track prescriptions for mind-altering drugs.

In September, Walters' department asked the legislature for about $3.5 million to pay for an electronic medical records system and $37,200 to set up a child psychiatry hot line for phone consultations.

Storms said she wasn't holding out hope that the legislature would approve new computer systems at a time when lawmakers are looking to slice $2 billion from the budget. She said she feared such a proposal "has a snowball's chance in this environment."

As DJJ's internal review drags on, the effort is churning out information that wasn't previously available, Walters' letter suggests.

A look at 4,153 children in state custody on a single day in September, for example, revealed that about 20 percent were taking mind-altering drugs.

Walters also wrote that her department spent about $2.7 million in the past two years on psychotropic medications, which include antipsychotics.

Juvenile justice spokesman C.J. Drake said Thursday that Walters' views DJJ's use of antipsychotics as a "critically important issue."

"The information we provided to the senator underscores the seriousness and urgency with which we are dealing with it," Drake said. "We want everyone to know that we don't support the misuse of psychotropic medications to treat the young people in our care."

Truth comes out: 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic 'deaths' of children were actually caused by MRSA

Monday, November 07, 2011 by: S. L. Baker, features writer

(NaturalNews) Remember two years ago when every news show featured hysterical reports about the so-called H1N1 pandemic and how the supposed killer flu was striking down healthy kids? True, many previously healthy children became critically ill, developing severe pneumonia and respiratory failure. And some tragically died after being diagnosed with H1N1. But was that really the accurate explanation of what caused their death?

According to the largest nationwide investigation to date of the flu in children who became critically ill, scientists from Children's Hospital Boston have found another reason to explain the severity of the youngsters illness. It turns out that it most likely wasn't H1N1 alone that caused healthy children to become so ill many died.

Instead, these kids were unknowingly infected with something else. That additional infection, the superbug known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), spiked the risk for flu-related deaths 8-fold in children who were otherwise believed to be totally healthy before they became ill.

Almost all of these children who were found to be infected with the superbug were immediately treated with vancomycin, considered to be best treatment for MRSA. Yet they died despite being administered this powerful antibiotic and their deaths were blamed on the flu. But the new research suggests it was the MRSA that played a huge role in killing these children.

"There's more risk for MRSA to become invasive in the presence of flu or other viruses," study leader Adrienne Randolph, MD, MsC, of the Division of Critical Care Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston. Said in a statement to the media. "These deaths in co-infected children are a warning sign." He added this is especially alarming given the rising rates of MRSA infections being carried widely among children.

"It is not common in the U.S. to lose a previously healthy child to pneumonia," Randolph said. "Unfortunately, these children had necrotizing pneumonia eating away at their tissue and killing off whole areas of the lung. They looked like immunocompromised patients in the way MRSA went through their body. It's not that flu alone can't kill - it can - but in most cases children with flu alone survived."

Mississippi Personhood

AFRA EDITORIALS By Leonard Henderson

November 6, 2011

Mississippi Personhood

This story regards the new Constitutional Amendment Mississippi is considering-  Initiative 26 would define personhood as "every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof."

A Woman's Right to Choose-

That's sure a worn out phrase, isn't it?  The phrase has been belligerently shoved down our throats every possible way ever since it was coined in the 1960's.  It's one subject the believers are perfectly comfortable being total bullies about.  It may be the First Commandment of the goofy Earth-worship religion.

Pretty much until the moment a baby's entire head is exposed to the world, that baby can be "aborted". Theoretically that's a "Woman's Right to Choose".

After that moment, a woman loses ALL rights to her baby and all authority over her baby. That's when ALL of the support of the woman's "Right to Choose" ceases.

Because we now live in a fully-implemented socialist Nanny State.

Am I exaggerating?

How about a different angle on a mother's Rights over her baby?  Is parenthood nothing but endless responsibilities and no authority?

It really has come to the point that a parent has NO authority over what happens to her children in public school.

Now would be a good time to point out that America's children HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

They have all been supplanted by the new "The Best Interest of the Child". See "Best interest of the child- A new "Civil Right"-  Furthermore, the role of "Mother" has been reduced to "Birth mom" or "Bio mom" and she has NO RIGHTS over that child whatsoever.

She has only RESPONSIBILITIES in the rearing of that child- completely subject to accusations of unfitness by anyone, even anonymously made to Children's "Protective" Services for "investigation".

CPS agents are NOT police. They take NO Sworn Oath. Their "investigations" are no such thing. They are more properly named "validators". They are going to make any allegation "stick" to the accused.

CPS agents operate under NO ethical constraints whatsoever and they have universal immunity and impunity from being caught LYING, even PERJURY in the unconstitutional court of NO Due Process.

Why? (you might be asking).

Because Child Abuse is NOT a crime. See- What Happens in the FOG

It's a lot worse out here in the real world for families than most people realize. In fact few people realize it until THEIR FAMILY is in the meatgrinder- and there aren't many lawyers who have a clue how to fight it.

So, the idea of stopping abortion by granting full Constitutional Rights to the unborn isn't going to help much. There are Billion$ to be made by government kidnapping the children, holding them hostage, and making them Legal Orphans.

Just think of it as a "Retroactive Abortion".

So if Mississippi is proposing to give Constitutional Rights to the newly-conceived, how about ensuring those children get their actual real Constitutional Rights before they turn 18?

DST ends- How about forever?

So, tomorrow morning, Sunday, November 6, the god-forsaken Daylight Saving Time ends for the year. BFD.

I really hate- HATE "Daylight Saving Time". I am old enough that I clearly remember when this god-forsaken demon plot from the pit of Hell was shoved up my nose.

It was the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Just when the war in Vietnam was heating up, and us young guys had nothing to look forward to but die in Nam, the government added insult to injury with the DST law.

As far as I was concerned, DST was part of a plot to destroy America. (Tongue not really in cheek). I wrote letters to the Editor of the local newspaper about it.

After the DST fascists did cram DST up our noses, I put an ad in the local paper every spring announcing that I was NOT observing DST (Tongue not really in cheek, but people thought I was being comical).

So once again, I have opportunity to say as clearly, explicitly and succinctly as possible-

I viscerally and organically hate, hate, HATE Daylight Saving Time. Just stop messing with the clocks. Leave it alone. Changing clocks back and forth is a symptom of mental illness. Good old fashioned Standard Time is- oh I dunno, STANDARD TIME, which was the original idea of good enough. If you want the official time to be an hour earlier, move 500 miles east.

So, for those wondering, 2011 Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 a.m.

How Many More of these "Unavoidably Unsafe" Drugs Will Become Mandatory?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 05 2011

For more than a century pharmaceutical companies have created and enjoyed a lucrative monopoly on health care in America.

They've done this by forming alliances with doctors and politicians and scientists inside and outside of government.

In this manner, slowly but surely, they've managed to steal basic human Constitutional liberties from you, especially your right to choose what is best for yourself and your children when it comes to drugs and vaccines.

Through it all, Barbara Loe Fisher and the National Vaccine Information Center have been fighting to help you keep your rights to make your own health care decisions.

But it's getting harder: these corporate entities are digging their heels in deeper and deeper, with the goal of taking your health liberties away from you through forced vaccination.

Here, Fisher lays out the harsh facts on this most important issue. Read it and weep. Then take swift action!

By Barbara Loe Fisher

In America today, there is an unprecedented assault on the human right to exercise informed consent to medical risk-taking.

It is being led by one of the most powerful and wealthy corporate empires in the world: the global pharmaceutical industry.

What is at stake for Big Pharma is a one trillion dollar market for prescription drugs and vaccines.1 What is at stake for the American people is our health and our liberty. FULL STORY

Law would nullify constitutional protection in sexual harassment cases

A draft of a new law being circulated by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., would cement a new standard of proof in sexual harassment cases on college campuses, replacing the "beyond a reasonable doubt" needed for conviction with only "a preponderance of the evidence."

Leahy's version of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 would put into federal law the new standard of proof established by Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali of the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, or OCR, in a "dear colleage letter" earlier this year.

"God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work." --Barack Obama

Note: This is not satire from The Onion. Apparently, Barry has actually conferred with the Almighty and determined that He approves of the so-called jobs bill. And here we thought that Leftists were the great defenders of that mythical "Wall of Separation."

Regarding Obama's assertion, White House spokesman Jay Carney later claimed, "Well, I believe the phrase from the Bible is, 'The Lord helps those who help themselves.'"

Hilariously, an official notation at the bottom of the White House's own transcript notes: "This common phrase does not appear in the Bible." Not only did Carney flub the defense, he ended up making an argument for the opposition. In other words, the supposed biblical principle isn't, "God helps those who get help from government first."

POST FALLS, Idaho – Two foster parents have been arrested after a two-year investigation into the death of a toddler in their care.

Jeremy M. Clark and Amber M. Clark were arrested on Thursday morning.

A medical examiner in nearby Spokane County ruled the death of Karina Moore a homicide in 2009. The Clarks claimed the toddler fell down a flight of carpeted stairs in their home.

Moore's biological mother filed lawsuits in both federal and state courts claiming unspecified damages against the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. She has previously said she believes her daughter's death could have been prevented.

On Friday the Clark's are expected to appear in front of a Kootenai County judge, until then the indictment and other documents in the case have been sealed. FULL STORY

Man pleads guilty to illegally trafficking kidneys from Israel where they were later transplanted into American patients at prestigious US hospitals

Friday, November 04, 2011 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, an Israeli citizen living in Brooklyn, NY, has pleaded guilty to illegally purchasing kidneys from desperate Israelis, and trafficking them back to the US for transplant in patients at prestigious, but unnamed, American hospitals. Rosenbaum has also reportedly pleaded guilty to conspiracy for illegally brokering kidney sales.

According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), desperate kidney patients collectively paid Rosenbaum $410,000 to purchase kidneys harvested from Israelis who had sold them for a mere fraction of this amount. Rosenbaum's lawyers claim that all the donors agreed to give up their kidneys, but a 1984 federal law prohibits knowingly purchasing or selling organs for transplant.

Rosenbaum allegedly bought the kidneys for as little as $10,000 each, and resold them for a minimum of $120,000 each. FULL STORY

We have speculated for many years about so many kids "disappearing" from foster care, never to be heard of again. You don't suppose CPS is harvesting THEIR organs for transplant? We have no doubt CPS really is THAT EVIL.

Colorado Supreme Court removes attorney-client confidentiality from children in some cases Ruling splits kid advocates

By Karen Auge
The Denver Post
POSTED: 11/03/2011 01:00:00 AM MDT
UPDATED: 11/03/2011 08:30:34 AM MDT

In a decision that child advocates are calling landmark, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that conversations between children and the attorneys who represent them in custody and neglect cases are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

The decision, which stems from a 2005 case involving alleged sexual assault on a child, has divided normally unified children's advocates.

Some say the ruling will erode the crucial trust between a child and a guardian ad litem. Others argue that the decision confirms that the attorneys' duty is to do what's best for the child, even if the child doesn't agree.

"I think where we come down on this is disappointed," said Stephanie Villafuerte, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, which represents children, primarily those in foster care.

Villafuerte said she feared the ruling would have a "chilling effect" on what troubled and abused kids — many of whom already have had their trust betrayed by adults — will confide in their attorneys.

"Kids are going to be mortified," she said.

But Linda Weinerman, executive director of the Office of the Child's Representative, a state agency that contracts with the state's 234 guardians ad litem, said the Oct. 24 ruling affirms the approach her office has used throughout its 11 years.

Weinerman said that as a guardian ad litem, her approach was, "I'd tell kids I'm representing you and I will not tell things you don't want me to tell unless I think they are things that will affect your safety. My job is to protect your safety."

In Colorado, a guardian ad litem is an attorney appointed to represent a child who has been abused or neglected, or is in foster care. In some instances, they are appointed for kids who have been accused of crimes or are at the center of a custody fight.

The Nation’s Priorities and Children: How Well Do They Go Together?

The Nation’s Priorities and Children: How Well Do They Go Together?
Posted on November 3, 2011 by Children's Monitor

On Friday, October 28, the Urban Institute hosted “The Nation’s Priorities and Children: How Well Do They Go Together.” The event brought together a panel of Urban Institute scholars from various disciplines to discuss what it will take to come to national and state budget decisions that invest at the level needed for the youngest generations to succeed, especially in light of diminishing states roles in funding children’s programs and services.

Among the panelists were Olivia Golden, former Assistant Secretary for Children at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Charles Kolb, President of the Committee for Economic Development; and Margaret Simms, Urban Institute Fellow and Director for the Low-Income Working Families Project. The discussion was facilitated by Judy Woodruff, Senior Correspondent for PBS’ NewsHour.

The key points made during the event were that a child born poor is five times more likely than other children to be poor between age 25 and 30. Also, childhood poverty cost the United Statesat least an estimated $500 billion per year. In her article, Persistent Childhood Poverty’s Double Whammy, Simms points out that “childhood poverty that won’t let up takes a heavy toll on early adulthood… Letting kids languish and enter adulthood unprepared means that American’s labor force won’t be as productive as it could be and that these children’s children will likely be condemned to lifelong poverty too.” She suggested investing in early childhood development as a key ingredient in altering their futures.

Families often face various challenges that contribute to their impoverished conditions including finding stable child care, working demanding hours, language barriers, location of employment via proximity to home, and affordable housing. These were all suggested as areas for improvement.

Golden noted that public spending on children appears to be the reverse of what would make sense. She said, “Today, we have more spending on older children than younger children. Although research proves the reverse is needed.” Charles Kolb agreed that we under-invest in younger children. He suggested we support the private sector to assist government in implementing children’s programs. The panel also discussed the ongoing Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction negotiations, and questioned to what extent, if any, investments in children were being taken into consideration. As the deadline nears for the supercommittee to complete its work, Congress must think carefully about the recommendations to invest in and/or cut programs that directly impact vulnerable children and families.

The more I looked at this story and several links, it appears to me this story is just plain garbage, trying to bluff congress on DEFUNDING a bunch of this stupid stuff.

I am sorry I even put this garbage on the AFRA News.

Call Blitz - Clarification -- November 3, 2011 In our email of November 1, Mike Farris urged you to call your lawmakers to support the proposed Parental Rights Amendment. Based on the emails and phone calls we have received since, it seems some clarification is in order on a number of things. First, even if your lawmaker is marked as a 2010 Cosponsor on our webpage, that does not mean he/she is a cosponsor now. It does mean you will probably find their office receptive to your call because they have supported us in the past. But as long as the name is listed in black letters and not in blue letters, your lawmaker is not yet a cosponsor and needs to hear from you. (A color key has been added to the right column of your state page to help you remember in the future.) Second, we are urging congressmen and senators to sign on as original cosponsors – meaning there is no bill number yet. We seem to have confused even some congressional staffers with this one. So when you call, emphasize that you seek an original cosponsor – one whose name will be on the resolution when it is introduced – and that for that reason we do not yet have a bill number. Third, although there was a bill number and there were cosponsors in the last Congress, none of that carries over. This is a re-introduction, and the Amendment starts from scratch. Right now we have one cosponsor in each chamber (lead sponsor Trent Franks in the House, lead sponsor Jim DeMint in the Senate) and no bill numbers. Don’t let our efforts from the last Congress confuse you. Finally, even if your lawmaker was a sponsor in the past and you know he or she will be again, they need to hear from you. Those who are friendly to the Amendment may not know to contact Rep. Franks or Sen. DeMint to sign on – they won’t know it’s time – unless you call and tell them! Now that we’ve cleared that up, we really need you to call your lawmakers today. Below is a sample script, followed by a point you might add if they hesitate. (To Your Congressman:) Hello. My name is ____, and I am a constituent of Congressman ____. I am calling to urge my Representative to support the Parental Rights Amendment as an original cosponsor. Please contact Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona and ask to be included on the Amendment when he introduces it in the House in the next few days. (To Your Senator:) Hello. My name is ____, and I live in (your state). I am calling to urge Senator ____ to support the Parental Rights Amendment as an original cosponsor. Please contact Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and ask to be included on the Amendment when he introduces it in the Senate in the next few days. If they seem hesitant, you might also include: The issue of parental rights polled extremely well last year.

What Every Parent Must Know: This Occurs Before the Age of 6

Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 03 2011



By Dr. Mercola

Common sense would suggest that, if we are giving our children more than five dozen vaccinations from day of birth to age 18, we are over-vaccinating our children.

Yet, authorities continue to insist that "more is better" when it comes to vaccines without providing adequate scientific evidence to justify that assumption.

If you follow the CDC's recommended vaccination schedule, your child will receive 49 doses of 14 vaccines by the time he/she is 6 years of age.

And by the age of 18, the CDC recommends that children should have gotten 69 doses of 16 vaccines.

When I first started practicing medicine in 1985, it cost parents $80 to purchase vaccines for their children (plus the cost of a doctor's visit) to comply with the CDC's recommended childhood vaccination schedule.

Today, you'll pay $2200 to purchase all government recommended and mandated vaccines for a child (plus the cost of office visits) because the numbers of vaccines recommended for children have tripled in the past three decades.

Sadly though, the short term financial costs to fully vaccinate your child according to the CDC schedule may actually pale in comparison to the costs to your child's long-term health.

The list of problems related to today's vaccines, and vaccine policy, is long and troubling.

Senator Gillibrand Introduces Every Child Deserves a Family Act

Senator Gillibrand Introduces Every Child Deserves a Family Act
YaMinco | November 2, 2011 at 4:30 PM

Yesterday, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Every Child Deserves a Family Act (S. 1770), which would prohibit any entity that receives federal assistance and is involved in adoption or foster care placements from discriminating against prospective adoptive or foster parents solely on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. One major goal of the legislation is to increase the number of foster and adoptive placements available to children in the foster care system. Currently there are an estimated 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system, and more than 107,000 children currently waiting to be adopted, but Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) couples or individuals who want to adopt or become foster parents still face discrimination in more than 30 states.

In announcing the introduction of the Every Child Deserves a Family Act, Gillibrand stated, “By removing all barriers for LGBT families to serve as foster parents, New York State has increased its foster parent pool by 128,000 prospective parents. This legislation would open thousands of new foster and adoptive homes to children ensuring they are raised in loving families.” The house companion bill, H.R. 1681, was introduced by Representative Pete Stark (D-CA), back in May.

November is recognized as National Adoption Month, a time to raise awareness about the adoption of children and youth from foster care. To date, Representative Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) and Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) have introduced bicameral resolutions supporting the goals and ideals of National Adoption Day (November 19) and National Adoption Month.

I emphatically vote NO on these things.

S. 1770-

H.R. 1681-

I left this comment there-

American Family Rights Association (http://familyrights.us) strongly OPPOSES this Orwellian-named bill. The family every child deserves is their OWN biological family or kin.

The law about Kinship placement [42 U.S.C. § 671(a)19)] has been absolutely gutted from it's original content to the point now that merely suggests CPS "consider" Kinship placement. There's no money in Kinship placement for CPS, so guess what CPS' first choice is?

With CPS wrongly removing so many kids from their homes (in violation of the children's Fourth Amendment Right), placing children in residences with homosexuals is now viewed as necessary?

List just a few of the things environmental and health advocacy groups would have banned on the "precautionary principle," if only they'd had the chance:

Fire: too hot, hazardous, and burn-y

The wheel: dramatically increased risk of vehicle accidents

Electricity: can cause electrocution; creates obesity in people who sit too long in front of TV sets

The internal combustion engine: burns potentially planet-destroying fossil fuels.

The internet: might be used to disseminate dangerous information casting doubts on Man-Made Global Warming and/or pouring scorn/mockery on well-intentioned environmental and health advocacy groups thus impeding their noble battle to make the world entirely safe for everyone.

2004: Aransas County Court-At-Law Judge William Adams took a belt to his own teenage daughter as punishment for using the internet to acquire music and games that were unavailable for legal purchase at the time. She has had ataxic cerebral palsy from birth that led her to a passion for technology, which was strictly forbidden by her father's backwards views. The judge's wife was emotionally abused herself and was severely manipulated into assisting the beating and should not be blamed for any content in this video. The judge's wife has since left the marriage due to the abuse, which continues to this day, and has sincerely apologized and repented for her part and for allowing such a thing, long before this video was even revealed to exist. Judge William Adams is not fit to be anywhere near the law system if he can't even exercise fit judgement as a parent himself. Do not allow this man to ever be re-elected again. His "judgement" is a giant farce. Signed, Hillary Adams, his daughter

The nonprofit group has obtained critical documents via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that exposes the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) role in deliberately lying about and manipulating a key Danish study that showed a clear link between vaccines containing mercury and autism.

Safeway drops sandwich theft charges

By JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER, Associated Press – 12 hours ago

HONOLULU (AP) — The Safeway supermarket chain is declining to press charges against a Honolulu couple whose arrests over stolen sandwiches led state workers to take their 2-year-old daughter and sparked nationwide outrage.

Safeway told Honolulu police Tuesday that it won't press charges against Marcin and Nicole Leszczynski, company spokeswoman Susan Houghton told The Associated Press. The couple were arrested last week when Nicole, who is 30 weeks pregnant, ate a sandwich while shopping and walked out without paying.

Their daughter Zofia was taken away by state Child Welfare Services officials. She was returned to her parents 18 hours later. FULL STORY

Red Alert: The Vaccine Responsible for Half the Awards for Injury and Death

Posted By Dr. Mercola | November 02 2011

Pertussis vaccine in the combination DPT shot for diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis that is supposed to prevent whooping cough has been associated with brain inflammation, permanent brain damage and infant death since it was used on a mass basis in the U.S. starting in the late 1940's.

A 1985 book DPT: A Shot in the Dark by Coulter and Fisher book described the questionable safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, which was replaced in the U.S. in 1996 by an acellular version (DtaP).

Recently, there have been reports of B. pertussis whooping cough outbreaks in California among both vaccinated and unvaccinated children and adults.

In fact, in 2010, the majority of confirmed or suspected reported whooping cough cases were in vaccinated people.

In an eye-opening report, the Watchdog Institute found that DtaP vaccine immunity only lasts about three years.

In addition, there is evidence that bacterial organism that causes whooping cough has evolved to become vaccine resistant, which is another big reason there is a rise in reported cases of B. pertussis whooping cough.

The DtaP vaccine, although reported to be less reactive, can still cause brain inflammation and brain damage in some individuals.

Powerful Profile of a Pertussis Vaccine Victim

While infants and young children are at greatest risk, NO ONE is exempt from the potential serious complications of vaccination, one of which brain inflammation after DPT or DtaP vaccinatoin. FULL STORY

Centennial Series: The Progressive Movement

This is the fifth article in our Centennial Series, as we count down to the Children's Bureau's 100th anniversary next year. These articles address some of the social issues, practices, and policies at the turn of the last century that laid the groundwork for the creation of the Children's Bureau.

The beginning of the 20th century ushered in dramatic changes to American society that resulted in a number of new social and political movements. The post-Civil War years were characterized by social upheaval brought on by massive immigration, the shift from an agrarian society to life in new urban communities, and an economic depression. Corruption stemming from industrialization and the creation of big businesses, growing inner-city poverty, educational disparity, child labor, and class strife began to cause angst among much of the American public. This was fed by the rise of popular journalism, as newspapers and magazines made it possible for more people to keep abreast of what was happening across the country. One outgrowth of this dissatisfaction was the Progressive Movement, a political effort to address and remedy these social concerns by looking to the government to right injustices.

The Progressives were, for the most part, the new, urban middle class—doctors, lawyers, ministers, journalists, teachers, college professors, engineers and social workers—and their spouses (Sage, 2010). They viewed government as the solution to many of the social and moral problems of the day. In response to the Progressive Movement, many new Federal and State government programs were created or enhanced in the early 20th century. In fact, the Progressives touched almost every sector of life and were responsible for a number of "firsts" among government programs, for instance: FULL STORY

So, depending on what YOUR definition of Progressivism is- There's the root of what started this insane, malfeasant, totally out-of-control CPS tyranny that is destroying the American family. I personally think the root of CPS is the Communist Manifesto, and what it says about families and educating the youth

CDC: Deaths From Overdosing On Painkillers Tripled Since 1999

By Sophie Quinton | National Journal
November 1, 2011

More Americans now die from overdosing on pain killers than from overdosing on heroin and cocaine combined, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Tuesday.

“Narcotics prescribed by physicians kill 40 people a day,” CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden told reporters in a conference call.

Deaths linked to opioid pain relievers such as OxyContin, Vicodin and Opana have become an epidemic, Frieden said, adding that the rate of deaths has more than tripled in the past decade.

“Epidemic-- that’s not a word that I or the national public health community uses lightly,” said R. Gil Kerlikowske, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Kerlikowske later noted that in 17 states, more people die from overdosing on painkillers than in motor vehicle accidents.

The rising rates of misuse put a burden on both hospitals and insurers. Roughly half a million emergency room visits were linked to opiod abuse in 2009, according to CDC data; health care costs associated with opiod pain killer abuse cost insurers $72.5 billion each year. FULL STORY

Call Today to Preserve Parental Rights -- November 1, 2011 A chilling report from Brazil should serve as a warning to all American parents. Recent events reveal what happens when a nation abandons its traditional constitutional standard of parental rights and adopts the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). On October 19th, the Education and Culture Committee of the Chamber of Representatives in Brazil unanimously rejected a bill that would have legalized homeschooling in that country. Families who dare to homeschool in Brazil are prosecuted and kept under government surveillance according to a recent story by Julio Severo on LifeSiteNews.com. Severo’s article traces the text of the Brazilian Constitution which contained provisions in the 1937, 1946 and 1967 versions that specifically affirmed the home as a place of education for children. However, the 1988 Constitution quietly removed these provisions at the behest of “leftist politicians,” according to Severo. This Brazilian journalist exposes the role that the CRC has played in this attack on fundamental parental rights. [An]other serious threat to the families’ rights in the education of their children has been the Child and Adolescent Statute (CAS), which is a direct product of the United Nations Children’s Rights Convention. CAS imposes many state interferences in the Brazilian families and their children, especially in the educational and health issues. CAS has been used by the Child Protective Services of Brazil to enforce the state ban on homeschooling, harass families and their children and put them under legal hardships. Finally, Severo calls for a new constitutional provision for Brazil to restore the traditional protection of parental rights in education. The parallels to the United States are unmistakable. The rights of parents to direct the education of their children were traditionally recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court as a high-level constitutional right. However, recent decisions of the Court have undermined that traditional standard and have unleashed a flood of federal appellate cases declaring that parental rights are lower-level rights which may be easily overridden by the government. Justice Scalia heads the list of jurists who have proclaimed that parental rights are not legally protected at all. At the same time, there are twin threats of the United States adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Obama administration has repeatedly called for the ratification of this dangerous treaty which would supersede all state laws about families including laws which give parents control over the educational and medical decisions of their children. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court and lower federal courts have shown an increasing tendency to employ this UN treaty as valid legal precedent despite the fact that it has never been ratified by the Senate. We must not be the last generation of American parents who are truly free to raise our children. It is time to tell Congress to stop stealing our children’s future. It is bad enough that they have buried our children and grandchildren in debt for tomorrow so that they can buy votes today. We cannot sit by and watch America become Brazil. We cannot passively tolerate the erosion of our constitutional rights while the courts and the diplomats conspire to force us into a regime of international law. We must fight groups like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood who have attacked the Parental Rights Amendment. And we must educate those we would call friends who simply fail to recognize the absolute imperative of protecting the traditional sovereignty of the American family. These other groups have millions while ParentalRights.Org’s annual budget is under $500,000. Despite our tiny budget, we are the organization that successfully prevented ratification of the CRC. However, we have only stopped it for this term of Congress. The only permanent solution to all of the threats we face is the Parental Rights Amendment. I urge you to do three things. First, call both of your U.S. Senators and urge them to become original co-sponsors of the Parental Rights Amendment. Senator Jim DeMint from South Carolina has agreed to be the lead sponsor. (Find their contact info by clicking on your state at ParentalRights.Org/States.) Second, call your Representative in Congress and urge him or her to become an original co-sponsor of the Parental Rights Amendment. Rep. Trent Franks from Arizona, who chairs the Constitution Sub-Committee, has agreed to be the lead sponsor. Third, please make a generous donation of $50, $100, or even $500 to Parentalrights.org. Whatever you can give will sustain our efforts in this crucial time. What you do today will determine the future for generations to come. Will we have a family-based culture? Or will we, like Brazil, turn all decision-making over to government officials who think they know best? It is urgent that you act right now. Important meetings are taking place in Congress even as I write that will affect the Amendment. Please don’t close this email or webpage before you pick up the phone and call. America or Brazil? It’s your time to act. Michael Farris President, ParentalRights.Org

What You Must Know about the Latest Vaccine Safety Review by IOM

The report was released by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which is part of the National Academy of Sciences.

They've been around for over 100 years. The institute analyzes health policies and issues advice to the US government.

They're funded not just by the government but also by pharmaceutical companies and independent philanthropic organizations and individuals.

They are considered a very prestigious scientific body in the world.

In the last three decades, the IOM has reviewed vaccine safety several times.

Their first reports came out in 1991 and 1994.

However, the latest report on this issue, released in August 2011 is very significant, and many still do not understand its true importance.
