How can fathers get their rights as parents re-established in today's society when the judicial system is lopsided in favor of the mother being the custodial parent and joint custody is not give the primary consideration? When will Fathers quit being seen as paychecks and sources for money and given back their rights to also be parents?

I was wondering if there were circumstances that would lead to citizenship being revoked. For instance, let's say a person was born in Canada, but now resides in the US, and has dual citizenship. Is there any reason (being convicted of a crime, for instance) that the US would revoke their citizenship, and they would be forced to move back to Canada?

They could not only help stop and investigate crime and police traffic etc. They could also be a big factor in drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and terrorist cells. They could also work closely with the FBI and other agencies. It would help the country in so many ways and at the same time train our military for things they may encounter in times of war.

Water bottles. Sleeping bags. Empty food containers.
It's an unsightly mess left behind at temporary campsites set up by illegal immigrants trekking through Maricopa County's desert areas.
And starting today, about 200 jail inmates will be cleaning it up.
Dubbed "Operation I.C.U.," because the desert requires "intensive care," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the desert trash pickup is a new phase in his fight against illegal immigration and an effort to improve the environment at the same time. The "Illegal Alien Campsite Clean Up" will occur monthly.
"These people are coming here illegally. They're breaking the law, and they're destroying our desert," Arpaio said. "It's disgusting."
Deputies have been coming across campsites and snapping photos of the filth since Arpaio's anti-human-smuggling unit began looking for and arresting illegal immigrants in March. So far, 351 illegal immigrants have been jailed, and Arpaio said their mess needs to be cleaned up.
Deputy Chief Brian Sands estimates there are about 15 large illegal campsites in the western part of the county. They are used as "drop zones" and temporary staging areas for illegal immigrants. The immigrants will stay there anywhere from a couple of hours to several days, until they can be picked up and transported to their destinations. They usually leave in a hurry, dumping blankets and other trash. In some areas, trash piles are knee deep.
"There's all these little campsites over the years that have turned into this big mess," Sands said.
Illegal dumping not only ruins views but threatens the health of people who live or play there; over time, it pollutes the ground and groundwater.
Offenders who dump trash rarely are caught, and cleanups are costly.
Arpaio said his cleanup will cost taxpayers almost nothing. Trash bags and dump trucks have been donated, and inmate labor is free. Of the 200 convicted inmates who will take part today, 10 are foreign nationals from Mexico, Arpaio said. The inmates will get an extra bologna sandwich for their work.
Today's cleanup will take place in a desert south of Lake Pleasant. Deputies will be on hand to arrest any illegal immigrants in the area. Anyone caught dumping trash also will be arrested, Arpaio said.
But cleaning up the desert has another benefit: intelligence. Deputies will sift through the trash, looking for clues that could help curtail illegal immigration even more.
"We can look at these locations and tell a lot about the trash they leave," Sands said. "Our investigators don't have the time to sort through all this stuff. This gives us a chance to take a closer look."
Deputies will try to determine from the trash if other foreigners are being smuggled through Arizona. Any maps could provide a better indication of smuggling routes.
"I want to pick up some intelligence," Arpaio said, "but my main mission is to save the desert.
"We're going to get this cleaned up."
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city jail":
He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.
He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.
Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.
When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.
He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.
When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 year. "It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
*****
Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.
“The inmates will get an extra bologna sandwich for their work.”
Why be so generous?

If you do not watch some C-Span then you have no sense of what is going on except the little (slanted news) you read in print or watch on your ABC, CBS or Fox channel. Everyone should have to watch our government at work before voting. I hear many people say I am not voting for him or her because he she looks funny or I saw or heard this or that on T.V. but they only say I will vote for him or her because I like him or her. LIKE has nothing to do with what a politician will or has voted for.

I expect free healthcare, because its my right. What other free stuff can I expect from the candidates? Cable TV is getting expensive, My car insurance is way too high, and forget about me having to pay for gasoline! Do these politicians just expect me to stay in my house and read books all day until I get sick and die from lack of healthcare?
When will we step out of the dark ages and start taking better care of people like me?

Obviously, times have changed. The descision to place Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill was made in the context of: Ronald Reagan hadn't served as President yet.
Since then, Ronald Reagan has earned his place among the 3 greatest Presidents: Washington, Lincoln and now Reagan
Hamilton was cool and whatnot, but he was no Reagan.
