Help Move the Movement Forward
True Equality Network’s infiltrations and investigations into court houses, prior domestic violence cases, domestic violence coalitions, prisoner torture, abuse shelters, and Legal Services Corporation and their grantees have brought many egregious abuses into public view.
Some of the research has been revealed in Terri Tersak’s articles “Congressional Guidelines For Abusing Women“, and “How the Failures Of Welfare Reform Created Our lawless Courts” (Co-authored by David Heleniak and Terri Stoddard). Much good will come from this in the future as we reform America’s domestic violence and other family laws.
These research projects come with operating costs well beyond what the leadership can afford out of its own pockets. True Equality has some urgent legal fees to cover for filings and legal assistance. In order to move to the next step of action it needs donations to cover costs quickly.
Within the next two weeks True Equality needs to raise a total of $1,800.00. The first set of fees are due this coming Monday, May 12, 2008, and amount to $350.00.
For the record, readers should know that I am not paid for any of my work or writing for True Equality Network. In fact, I donate both my time and money to their effort.

David R. Usher is Senior Policy Analyst for the True Equality Network, and President of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children, Missouri Coalition
Mr. Usher is the Senior Policy Analyst for the True Equality Network, and a co-founder and former Secretary of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children (5 years). He served as Secretary of the National Congress for Fathers and Children for five years. He was quoted in the October, 10 1996 issue of Time Magazine as an editor of "The Liberator", the oldest Men's Movement publication founded by Richard Doyle. Mr. Usher organized the three largest protests in the history of the men's movement, including the First Wives Club protests (1996 - 25 cities across America), and the "Bridges for Children" protest (2001 - 225 cities around the world). He drove many legislative reforms, including the first state law requiring downward support modifications for military reservists called into active duty [MO-1991], and the nation's toughest move-away law [MO-1998]. His slogan, "We must now grant to fathers the same right to be in the family as we have granted to women in the workplace", has become an often-quoted standard of the pro-marriage reform movement. | More from David R.

To add to what Dave says, no one in True Equality Network is paid for their work. This includes the women who have conducted our field infiltrations and investigations. All of us have put our time and money behind the mission. If not for the contributions we have received much of our research could not have been completed. Thank you all for your support.
