The Declaration of Independence says, “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” In the words of a popular movie, National Treasure, it means “If there’s something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action”.
RaiseYourRights is taking action to protect our nation’s children from what is happening to them through our family and juvenile dependency courts while they are so vulnerable. We believe that parents should be given the right to have a jury of their peers decide and not the State of California. Our goal is to keep children surrounded by the ones who love them (from both sides of their families) and those who will hopefully help them grow up to be responsible, caring, respectful adults.
