The DC Festival 2008 has been a Monumental Success

DCFestival2008

A new generation of Internet and media savvy Activists have emerged from among the masses of down-trodden citizens of this country. The DCFestival2008 was an emotional experience to say the least. This was the people’s festival and the people’s voice was heard loud, and clear.

Three leaders have taken the helm of the family rights movement and saved the DCRally 2008. Renamed the DCFestival 2008, the most interesting thing about it was no one expected them to pull it off. No one was put on a stage or a pedestal that they didn’t physically build. (literally)

The DcRally was cancelled 55 days before and was immediately resurrected by some truly unique individuals that refused to let it die.
Having so little time to raise funds for professional help “We the people” went on faith. Everyone became part of the set up crew, the sound crew and the cleanup crew. Humble servants to this cause, people worked tirelessly to make this a very personal experience and every speech brought tears to my eyes. Dozens of family and childrens rights organizations were represented and there is a new found unity and bond between everyone in attendance.

The organizers were Lary Holland of www.FamilyCourtReports.com, Torm Howse of www.UnitedCivilRights.org and Tawnya Maddox of www.SplitnTwo.com
All who came to the event lifted each other up in prayer and they will be bonded eternally from this experience.

Some quotes on this monumental event….

“To me the Internet is an anonymous place, a place where we connect with others and yet remain alone in our battles. The D.C. festival changed all that, it allowed me the opportunity to meet real people with real issues. It gave me even more reason to continue to speak out and fight, although now not just for the unknown, now it’s personal. My own battles are now a part of a much bigger fight, one that is strengthened now by new friendships and the sadness shared by these new friends, or rather, allies. I commend all those that dedicated so much time and effort to make the D.C. festival happen, for they are truly our “William Wallace’s” (Brave-heart) and now energized, we will follow you to battle.” Glen C.

An ironic quote from someone who is presently trying to “get on the bench.”
“If you like listening to shows like Get Off The Bench, then you need to attend the next DC Festival. It was like Get Off The Bench on steroids!! Very motivating and educational.” Brian Downs

“It was amazing! Two days of training, speeches, meeting other people from over 30 states that have similar experiences in government run systems. We marched on the second day, over 300 people, from the senate to the Whitehouse. We passed The Call having a Rally at the Mall with over 150,000 people. The preacher turned his attention to us and praised our cause as thousands of people in The Call cheered us and took pictures. They know we are supporting the American Family. It’s no longer about Father’s Rights, but Family Rights and Children’s Rights.” Ted Spear

I was honored to be a part of The Family Preservation Conference DC Festival 2008. As I sat listening to horror stories from other parents my heart broke all over again. “Splitntwo,” with Tawnya, Ken, and Chrissy has had a tremendous impact in my life.

When my trial began I thought I was the only one being taken advantage of in the family court system, but I have learned through the DC festival that this is a growing problem in America. The most important thing to a person is the very batch of seed that God has in trusted to them, their children; I can’t think of a parent who would not face the world for their child. If there has ever been a reason to defend your rights, I cannot think of a better reason than for our children. As I said at the DC Festival; “I would rather personally fail for a cause that ultimately succeeds, than personally succeed for a cause that ultimately fails.

Thank you Tawnya and all who had a part in coordinating this event and allowing me to have a part.

“It is infinitely more valuable to fight for the rights of others than to fight for our own.” Lary Holland.

My life has been forever changed by the Family Preservation Festival and I have made lifelong friends there. The highlight of the event for me was when the Fathers4Justice Victory March passed by The Call. The Call is a Christian youth, youth pastor and pastor’s group that brought literally thousands to their own event a couple of blocks over from where our Festival was.
As if scripted the march went silent as we passed the massive congregation of people that were praying. One of the speakers from The Call took the microphone and started telling his people what we were all about and the entire crowd of approximately 150,000 started praying for us and our goals. The experience overwhelmed our group and brought tears to most every eye.
