Every state in the country is running a kidnapping and extortion racket through their respective Family Court Systems in the purported “best interests of children”, (in pursuit of the almighty *matching federal dollar*) which is far worse, in my opinion, than selling a Senate Seat.

Who’s losing their children, their property, and their freedom, over the selling of a Senate Seat? Millions of people are having their lives destroyed by our out of control Family Court system and no one seems to notice the unconscionable death toll. It’s a far worse death toll than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but no one seems to care.

It’s why it makes me want to vomit when I see a “support the troops” sticker on someone’s car. They support the troops, but turn their backs on millions of parents, many of whom in fact, are our troops.

• Gary S. was a Navy Seal who fought terrorists in Afghanistan after the September 11th attacks. While he was away, his son was whisked out of the country with the help of a California family court. This real American hero now hardly sees his child and is reportedly near bankruptcy due to legal fees and court-ordered support.

• National Guardsman Joe McNeilly lost custody of his child after serving in Iraq for 15 months. Before going oversees to protect his fellow Americans, he agreed to cede temporary full custody to his son’s mother. When he returned home from the battlefield, he was shocked to learn that the court punished him for his absence by permanently awarding full custody to the child’s mother.

• Lt. Scott Keenan, an intelligence officer in the Naval Reserves, was sent overseas for three weeks around September 11th. Because of his deployment, he was unable to exercise all of his allotted parenting time with his children. A New Jersey judge rewarded his sacrifices for his country with a slap in the face by permanently reducing his parenting time by 20%.
