FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

• June 28, 2008
• SENATE SET TO RENEW 1997 LAW THAT PAYS CPS TO KIDNAP CHILDREN
• S. 3038 is the renewal of ASFA ’97, the act that gives the states BILLION$ to kidnap and adopt out children on the flimsiest anonymous allegation, even known malicious false accusations. 
• Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (PL 105-89), also widely known as ASFA ’97 was the program designed to promote and increase the number of adoptions from foster care by rewarding states that increased adoptions each year.
• ASFA ’97 sunsets on September 30, 2008.
• In the Senate RIGHT NOW is the-
• “Improved Adoption Incentives and Relative Guardianship Support Act of 2008 (S. 3038) – Amends part E (Foster Care and Adoption Assistance) of title IV of the Social Security Act (SSA) to: (1) extend the adoption incentives program through FY2012; (2) increase the incentive payment to a state for exceeding the highest ever foster child adoption rate; (3) increase incentive payments for special needs adoptions and older child adoptions; (4) revise requirements for the adoption assistance program to promote the adoption of children with special needs; and (5) give states the option to provide for relative guardianship assistance payments for children.” 
• BACKGROUND
• Beginning with Mondale’s “Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1974 (CAPTA ’74), a war was launched upon America’s families.  
• Soon after came “The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980”  The Act required all states to establish an adoption subsidy program and remove the financial disincentives to states by providing federal dollars to be used as a portion of adoption subsidy payments for children previously eligible for the Social Security Title IV-E Foster Care Program.
• Then came the “Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997” (PL 105-89).  
• This nightmare is now bleeding the US for at the very least, $7 Billion a year. (We think it’s a LOT more than that).
• CONSEQUENCES- The “Collateral Damage”
• What quickly evolved was- Malfeasant “investigations” conducted under the color of law, consisting of character assassination, hiding exculpatory evidence, “evidence” fabrication from thin air and bald faced lies both in Affidavits and Sworn Testimony in court, holding the kids hostage to coerce “cooperation”, and obstructing parents until the “15 months of 22 months” clock tolls for automatic Termination of Parental Rights (TPR).
• As evidenced by the Texas FLDS fiasco, where the standard method of operation of CPS was put on every television in the world, there is not even the pretense of the REQUIRED BY LAW “Reasonable Efforts” being made to prevent children being kidnapped from their homes.

  We now have unconstitutional “family courts” where every actor, including the “judge” is part of the “prosecution team”. The court-appointed attorneys do not offer anything resembling a “vigorous defense”- unlike what happened on behalf of the FLDS in Texas.  

• If people commit a crime against a child, then it should be treated as a CRIME, not as SORT OF a civil lawsuit.  The accused is prejudged “Guilty”, having no Miranda Rights, no Constitutional Rights, no due process, no fair and impartial court, no defense.
• We urge you to tell your Senators to vote NO on both S. 3038 and H.R. 6307.
• Contact your Senators TODAY!  Tell them to END the War on Families.  
• LET THE PERVERSE INCENTIVES SUNSET THAT FRAUDULENTLY KIDNAP KIDS FOR MONEY.
