FATHERHOOD TEST CASE
Gentlemen,
Mr. Le Roy Marshall's
children were taken from
him by the courts 7 years ago, robbing him of his fatherhood and his heritage,
robbing his children of their father and a happy childhood, creating yet
another single-mother household (at a cost to taxpayers in excess of $1
Million over the lifetime of that single-mother household), and exposing
his children to a life of poverty, crime, and social pathology. The mother
used fertility drugs prescribed by welfare agencies without Mr. Marshall's
knowledge or permission, took his children from him without his permission,
then demanded that both Mr. Marshall and the taxpayer subsidize her for
her crime to society. Neither the courts, district attorneys, attorney
generals, Governor Wilson, the California Department of Human Services,
President Clinton, nor DHHS recognize or even acknowledge this crime to
society nor the vital importance to children of their fathers. The federal
courts have amply demonstrated (with their decisions in Murray Steinberg's,
Rich Gorish's, and Dr. Paul Schapiro's cases) that they shall continue
to be inadequate at playing any responsible role in restoring fatherhood
to the nation. The Signatories to the Fathers' Manifesto, the
Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the West Angeles Church have been
requested to combine their efforts to determine the means necessary to
restore active fatherhood to Le Roy Marshall, and to restore his children
to a father-headed household. Our assistance in developing a strategy by
which this is accomplished is required. Accomplishing this creates the
test case for all men to follow to reestablish their important roles as
fathers, thus it is crucial that we are accurate, thorough, and correct
in implementation. Major General Celes King, III, State Chair of CORE,
has already committed to this effort. It is hereby proposed that:
 | 1) Upon filing by a biological father of the attached form with the County,
certifying that a mother on welfare has denied him access to his children,
that welfare benefits to the mother be terminated immediately, and that
the children be placed in the immediate care of their biological father. |
 | 2) The recordation of the "Fathers' Manifest Reaffirmation and Declaration"
in each county be declared sufficient and necessary legal notice to the
court of our determination to remove the judicial system from its destructive
role with children, families, and fatherhood. |
These two 7 year old children be immediately removed from the custody of
their mother and placed in Mr. Marshall's immediate care and responsibility.
Please take the time now to review the following, correct any errors, recommend
any additions, and consider all positive and negative consequences to society,
education, religion, fatherhood, the taxpayer, motherhood, and to Mr. Marshall's
children, if they are removed from their mother's custody and placed in
his immediate care and responsibility.
POSITIVE CONSEQUENCES
