My six year old son has not seen his mother since august. She informed me, at the conclusion of her mid-August visitation (every other weekend visitation), that she had been evicted from her apartment and would be moving elsewhere. She also stated that she did not know where or when she would be moving. I have not heard from her since. Indiana state law, i believe, requires that any parent , whether custodial or granted visitation, must notify the other if he/she relocates.My child has suffered developentally, behaviorally and emotionally from inconsistent visitation from his mother for years. There is no reason, other that the mental welfare of my son, that I would not want him seeing his own mother. I believe it is in the best interest of my son to legally deprive her of her rights to him, but I do not know if there is sufficient prove of reason for doing so (besides 8 months of noncommunication with her). Are there legal documents/websites I can review? Any help will be appreciated

For those of you that felt like trying to be disresptful, u should know who u r talking to first. I have served my country in civilain Law Enforcement, as an MP, an Investigator with CID, K-9 Handler and have deployed plenty to Iraq. I ask the question because I have a civilian job in Law Enforcement now that doesn't afford much time to go to drills or to worry about schools and deployments. I work in a UC status and I am unable to conform to military regs. If I were to be activated again I would lose a substantial amount of money and the harship would cause great strain on my wife and children...like my current job doesn't do that.

Not only did I leave the civilian sector to serve, but I have 2 brothers with 25 yrs service. A PATRIOT I am, I just choose to now do it at home to make the difference HERE!!

SO, before you get off on answering a question without the guts to get a response, think before u talk!!

It is fact the terrorists held children captive in a car that detonated as a bomb earlier yet we saw minimal press nor is there the outrage that there is any time the press warrants more negative press towards President Bush. Yet all you saw was a quick blurb and nothing on the mainstream media. Why? Is it because it would help justify the level of evil the terrorists are willing to stoop to just to accomplish their goals?

Most welfare increases are imposed by democrats, and democrats want us to help other countries with aid instead of bombing them. Yet most democrats believe that republicans are the "rich elite". So yet again they just want somebody else to pick up the slack.

or should it be up to you, and the people who lend you the money? The congress is sounding more and more like the USSR, telling you where you can live now.

As normal the socialists in Congress want to CONTROL your entire life and now there are going after regulation of lending institutions.

If you fail to meet your obligations should that not be between you and your lender rather than an tyrannical government?

When is this taking control of our lives going to stop?

Although I notice that American society is very sexually open, it is shocking to find that the people who are most open and experienced about sex are the big, bad guys & the hot-looking women. The remainder of the people are either too naive to know all about sex, or are too religious about it.

Don't you wish that ALL Americans knew more about sex & are able to judge when to have a relationship and when to have some fun? And rather than putting a "ban" on sex outside marriage, would it not help if the govt. instead decided to help educated ALL Americans about sex & relationships - that way would be the best to vastly reduce or prevent STDs?

Because if only the “big” guys can have all the sexual fun they want, most likely they will also carry “big” STDs......LOL

Questions spark McCain flip on illegals
Schlafly program trains volunteers to pin candidates down on issues

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted: March 22, 2007

Phyllis Schlafly

Sen. John McCain's new attention to, and possibly new position on, illegal immigration is being credited to a grassroots program implemented by Phyllis Schlafly, who is training Eagle Forum leaders how to question presidential candidates on key national issues.

McCain has expressed surprise by the intensity of immigration questions he has received in Iowa at town hall meetings and as his campaign bus, named the "Straight Talk Express," has toured the state.

It's because of Eagle Forum's work, Schlafly told WND.

"The town meetings that presidential candidates visit this year give grassroots Americans the opportunity to ask follow-up questions so the candidates can't evade and obfuscate their views on vital issues," Schlafly said. "We want to know what presidential candidates plan to do about the problems we care about."

Schlafly has published a detailed list of questions she is encouraging Eagle Forum leaders to ask presidential candidates as they tour primary states seeking votes.

(Story continues below)

Schlafly's list includes 22 hard-hitting immigration questions designed to deny presidential candidates the luxury of hiding under answers crafted by political wordsmiths.

Among the questions are the following:


Do you consider it a presidential duty to prevent illegal entry into our country?

Will you use whatever means necessary to close our borders to illegal aliens and illegal drugs, including electronic fences and National Guard troops?

Since most illegal drugs come across our southern border, will you require visual inspection of the contents of at least 50 percent of trucks coming across our border (instead of just 1 percent to 2 percent)?

What is your plan to stop the entry of 85 percent of illegal drugs that come over our southern border?

Will you pardon the two Border Patrol agents who stopped an illegal alien from bringing in a million dollars worth of illegal drugs, and now face 11- and 12-year sentences while the drug smuggler was given immunity from prosecution?

Last year, the Senate passed the Secure Fence Act 80-19, the House passed it 283-138, and we saw President Bush on television signing it into law. Now we are told the fence will never be built. Do you intend to obey the Secure Fence Act and order a fence built on our southern border?

Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens on a path to citizenship without going home and getting in line for lawful immigration?

Will you veto any plan to put illegal aliens into our Social Security system under the State Department plan called "totalization"? That would bankrupt the system just when baby boomers are retiring.
In the 109th Congress, McCain co-sponsored with Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass, S.2611, a "comprehensive immigration reform" bill supported by the Bush administration that included provisions calling for "guest workers" and a "pathway to citizenship."

But after facing intensive questioning in Iowa about immigration issues, McCain is widely reported to be considering a change in his position, requiring illegal immigrants to return home before applying for citizenship, suggesting a compromise measure similar to that proposed by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.

"The national media were generally favorable to the Kennedy-McCain bill last year, as well as to McCain himself," Schlafly explained to WND, "so before the Iowa meetings, McCain only had to respond to softball questions."

Eagle Forum in Iowa made sure that situation for McCain changed.

"What McCain probably has not realized," Schlafly told WND, "is that Eagle Forum has made sure that the grassroots are well informed about immigration and other issues. It may be a surprise to presidential candidates like McCain, but the Eagle Forum grassroots are not going to accept the typical politicians' platitudes."

WND asked Schlafly if she thought the questioning from Eagle Forum leaders was the reason McCain appears to have shifted his immigration position.

"Yes," she responded, "because I doubt McCain has been asked these specific questions. The specific questions force the candidates to face up to the issues in a practical and meaningful way."

"Schlafly also noted that Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., also was startled by the tough line of questioning he faced in Iowa about immigration. "After 30 minutes, Brownback pleaded for questions about something other than immigration," Schlafly told WND.

In the 109th Congress, Brownback added his name as a co-sponsor to S.2611, the "comprehensive immigration reform" bill advanced in the Senate by Kennedy.

WND asked Schlafly if the Eagle Forum leaders intended to ask her question list to both Democratic and Republican candidates.

Of course, she said.

"All Republican and Democratic Party candidates for president should answer the Eagle Forum questions," Schlafly told WND. "That's why I published the list. We have a right to know what the candidates plan to do if elected."

The Eagle Forum list of questions for presidential candidates includes a variety of policy issues besides immigration – including "supremacist judges legislating from the bench," North American integration under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, jobs and the economy, as well as "respect for life."
