"dead beat" parent round-up
 

Just heard on the news they pulled another "round-up of dead beat parents"
here in Tucson. They named it "Operation Child-support". Channel 4 news
reported all the standard "politically correct" bull**** and used the term
"dead beat parents". I guess that's more 'correct' than dead beat dads but
no matter what, the reality is that out of the 21 people still sitting in
jail as of this evening, (the "round-up" was at 5am), there is *one* woman.
The token woman.

I'm writing an e-mail to Channel 4 (www.kvoa.com) , hoping to enlighten them
a little as to the reality of dead-broke dads. I can't find the story on
their website yet. They just aired it so maybe it's not on it yet.

With all the talented writers and ranters we have here I'm hoping we can all
send them a bit of enlightening e-mail. Who knows? Maybe somebody will be
listening?

Ya know, I've been wanting to do this for years and never seem to find the
time/motivation (I confess). You are right--We do need a bevy of well-written
editable(?)letters posted here that could be sent to various media /government
outlets. Umm...Kenneth? :-)

I'll bet you a beer (of your choice) that better than 90% of these men where
destitute, down-on-their-luck, unemployed, fathers.

It would be better to help these men (and the single woman their 'snared')
to find employment, then to jail them for failure to support their children.

I predict, that soon, there will be no one to use as a scapegoat any longer.
That very soon, there will be no one to point a finger at, save for the very
agencies (federal, state, and local) which create such problems to 'solve'.

time/motivation (I confess). You are right--We do need a bevy of

----------------------------
I agree. I have started and stopped over and over a 'standardized' letter
that could be used for that purpose but I am not as good a writer as many
here. I receive the ACLU action alerts that are letters about various
subjects that I can add comments to and then I send it to my Congressmen via
fax or e-mail. These letters are well written, they don't sound like
ranting and raving yet they get the point across very well. If you want to
see some examples go to the ACLU website at www.aclu.org and check them out.
Can anybody here write a right-to-the-point type letter without using the
terms propaganda or nazis? I couldn't.

I'll post a copy of the e-mail I sent.
