"In this country the paternal family is treated as though it doesn't exist. Following divorce or the end of a relationship, fathers are routinely stripped of their children and subsequently paternal grandparents have no rights to see their grandchildren. It is formula for a disaster and a disaster it is. This conference addresses the death of the traditional American Family. Join me in attending this conference and restoring the essential and positive role of fathers and grandparents in the lives of our children."

"For myself and all others that are similarly situated, attendance at and participation in this upcoming conference on families is a MUST. If you are interested in making a change for the better please join me at the Detroit Metro Airport Marriott June 16, 17 and 18, 2005. "

"What better way to start the summer of 2005 than to be at the Families and Fathers Conference in Detroit? This is going to be the hottest ticket this year with the largest gathering of Fatherhood leaders to ever assemble in the history of this nation. What better way to kick off a long hot summer of dismantling the divorce industry than to start off in Detroit, Rock City, with a powerhouse line-up!"

ACFC is pleased to endorse the work of its Michigan affiliate, DADS of Michigan, in organizing the Families and Fathers Conference 2005, subtitled "Healing Our Families ~ A Time For Change." It will be held June 17 & 18 in Detroit, Michigan.
This conference features an outstanding group of national speakers and promises to be a strong catalyst for advocacy and family law reform. ACFC President Stephen Baskerville will speak to the full conference and participate in panel discussions, and ACFC Executive Director Mike McCormick and Chairman Dave Roberts will also be available to discuss national and local strategy and organization-building techniques.
"This conference could help turn events this year in our effort to restore the family," said Baskerville. "I wholeheartedly urge our ACFC chapter leaders and members to attend and participate in this conference."
A string of seriously flawed policy measures in Michigan has shown that state to be an important battle ground in the struggle for justice in family law. We are particularly pleased that our local ACFC affiliate - DADS of Michigan - has partnered with the Family Rights Coalition of Michigan, Fathers for Equal Rights of America, and Citizens for Parental Rights in co-sponsoring this conference. In a unified action that should be emulated nationwide, all of the local Michigan advocacy groups have banded together to host this well planned and well managed conference.
"We hope to see you there."

"As good American citizens, we would like to think that our Children's Protective Services and Child Support Enforcement agencies are doing their job protecting children and families. As a former enforcement officer and investigator for family court, I experienced first hand the way that the present system profits financially from divorce, separation, and the alienation of family members. Misguided officials train family court officers to deceive and withhold important information from families in crisis. It isn't until we are painfully and personally confronted with the facts of an uncaring an out-of-countrol bureaucracy that we decide to become informed and involved. Unless we are wiling to make a concerted and perhaps painful effort to make a difference by becoming personally involved, many more families are destine to become causalities of family courts. The Families and & Fathers Conference 2005 subtitled Healing our Families ~ A Time for Change, is a forum where we can come together to exchange information, network, and effectually forge change. I strongly urge you to attend this conference."
