Stop The Terrorism
Against American Families
And Children

Petitioned beginning October 2001 to the President of The United States

WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, exercising our right to petition peaceably for redress of grievance, ask that the President of the United States press for enactment of legislative relief to address the terror committed upon America's Families and Children.

As a statement of need, we cite the following facts:

  • Approximately 750,000 children have been aborted annually over the previous 18 years.
  • Approximately 1,000,000 children have their family destroyed every year.
  • This represents the death of, or intentional harm to, more than 31 million children during the last 18 years in the United States.
  • Less than 5% of the children aborted, and less than 5% of the children who have had their family destroyed, can point to any medical or serious psychosocial need for such intervention or measures.
  • The remaining 95% of these children (approximately 30 million individuals) were either killed or deprived of their family structure due to the personal desires and "needs" of one or both of their parents, regardless of the impact that this decision had on the child.

We state, in a singular voice, that:

  • Such actions are unconscionable in any civilized nation, including the United States of America.
  • These acts deprive children along with innocent men and women of their civil rights and liberties under the US Constitution.
  • To the extent that such acts are undertaken for personal pleasure or profit of adults, an act of fraud has been committed against the innocent children and adults harmed by these tragedies, along with the personal price paid by these individuals.
  • With regards to broken homes, the price paid by the children is well-documented and beyond dispute; such children are more likely to have behavioral problems, to become involved with drugs, to become pregnant or father a child as a teenager, to drop out of school and to fail to thrive as an individual in society.
  • The inability to stop all such harm to children and families does not release our government from making a "best effort" to stop that portion of them harm which it can, and should, address.
  • The most outrageous of these harms - those perpetrated for and to the profit of those who undertake them - requires the first and most serious response.

President Bush, we understand that the abortion issue is one that is complex and, as you've noted, requires a change of heart in this nation.

But what we have not yet heard is a statement from you on the importance of families, along with the unacceptable nature of willful and malicious destruction of those families by adults when children are involved.

We have not yet heard of any initiatives from your administration intended to address these wrongs and remove the perverse incentives that many adults have for committing them.

Finally, we have not heard from you that it is unacceptable for the civil legal system in this country, along with society, to permit such destruction to take place when the motive is, in whole or part, the personal profit (whether financial or emotional) of one or both of the adults involved.

We call upon you, President Bush, to speak out against these atrocities with at least as much fervor, and at least as much commitment, as you have placed towards finding the individuals and nations that sponsored the acts of 9/11/2001.

We further call upon you to work with Congress, in a bipartisan effort, to pass legislation that will protect the rights of fathers, mothers, and most importantly, children

We state that UPREPA, the petition which you have received and continue to receive, is an important step towards insuring the stability of families, along with protecting the parent/child bond - and we call upon you to introduce this important step forward to Congress and press for its passage, along with other legislation to prohibit the unseemly practice of destroying families and their bonds for the personal profit of adults.

We state that as the harm done to this nation by these acts is many times greater than that done on 9/11, these facts, and this harm, demand no less attention than that being expended to fight the war on terrorism.

President Bush, you have a historic opportunity.

The tragedies of 9/11 focused our attention on the harm that can be done to America - its children, families and government.

However, the human toll of these acts, sadly, is taken every single day in this country by our own countrymen and women. No just and proper government can ignore such a body count.

Will you take this time to commit our government - a government of the people, by the people and for the people - to protecting our most precious resources?

Our children - and families - deserve and demand nothing less.
