Torm Howse

Know who you are dealing with

After much heated and public attempts by Torm Howse to disrupt the work of too many good people in the parental rights movement, I feel that I have to take this to you the leaders and helpers in this movement. While I do not believe in forcing ideas on anyone and I have long promoted working co-operations between all groups, the time has come that we all take a stand and tell Mr. Howse to go away.

His ranting is disrupting and is being watched by our opposition closely. He attacks on people that have stood up to him that have been with us from the early days. If we are true believers in what we are doing we will say “NO MORE”. Are a whole we need to police ourselves and many do not know the underlying problems that occur that are preventing equal rights for every fit parent. All it takes is one bad seed to destroy lifetimes of work. I have invested 15 years in this effort without a thought to what it has cost me. I spent over 200 hours working on the equal parenting bill when we introduced that in Ohio 5 years ago. I spend hours every week answering emails, phone calls and working on the website to make sure that the information is up to date even though my son is now 19 and I am out of the system. And I will continue until this is changed to protect my son from the deprivations of his rights that the courts and State laws have done to me.

Below you will see an exchange that took place in the Ohio Class Action Yahoo forum. I called attention to Torm’s latest scheme of sharing profits with anyone that helps him. I will warn you that what he has set up here is the classic Ponzi Scheme much along the lines of Bernie Madoff. If you participate in this with him you are likely to have criminal charges over your head. 501C3 non-profit tax status does not allow for this type of activity so you could find yourself in tax trouble also.

If you have donated any money to him or paid him thru PayPal for any services, you need to report this as fraud immediately and ask PayPal to refund your money. If we shut down his source of income we will shut him down and get rid of a bad seed.

If you look at the record, Torm is not a victim of PAS as he claims. His problems with the family court system as of his own doing. He is by his own admission (proven by court records) a convicted child abuser – he has no right to be near any child.

We all have enough trouble with the family court system that needs so desperately to be changed BUT we need to be careful whose advice we follow here. The choice is yours to make but when presented with verified proof (which everything contained below is) by someone that has done something or the ranting of a mad man that is on the run from the law, who are you going to pick?

Let’s first look at his current criminal record.

How about we talk about your criminal record? I find the battery of a minor of special interest.

Contained (in italics) within are my responses to his accusations and the proof to support myself. His pattern of attempted intimidation continues here as he threatens me with a lawsuit. Having seen his legal dribble I would win hands down so I have nothing to fear from him.

IT IS TIME TO TELL HIM TO GO AWAY!!!!

Ray, why is it that all you have to do is criticize and falsely accuse others?

That is pathetic "leadership", if any at all. Don't worry, because you have clearly displayed your total lack of faith, so that you will not ever be burdened or bothered with allowance to be involved on any profit-sharing or action events of UCRCoA, because you are too bone-headed, and you also obviously are not smart enough to even check your facts before trashing people on the airwaves, so you certainly cannot be trusted with important things to be done responsibly..

Pathetic leadership……hardly, a good leader weeds out the bad seeds so that the mission can be accomplished. I refuse to rip off parents and I that have already been screwed by the courts.

I will tell you straight up -- keep your damn penny, and your thirty pieces of silver, because the Word of God says you *cannot* serve *both* God and Mammon.

The only thing you are attempting to serve here is yourself to others money so that you can remain in hiding from the police.

1. Just because you are too dense to understand the workings of complex positive action plans (maybe let alone actually create them into materialization..), doesn't mean you can go around trash talking, especially when you neither know the facts, nor have spent the time involved to even try to understand. Let alone that you would actually be *against* hurting people getting finally blessed.. what a loser!

FRANKLY – I was involved and doing positive things for the movement before you were even heard of. Me a loser? Hardly when my actions and successes speak for themselves. But then a lunatic such as you has no idea what success is other than avoiding arrest and intimidating others.

2. It is also obviously that you have no clue about the financial principles of God, such as contained in Matt 6:33, or you wouldn't be making such wild statements, in the first place, exposing yourself..

Something that you fail to follow as you berate and lie about people that have been involved with the movement for years just because they do not follow your garbage and faulty legal theory. You are what my pastor calls a FALSE CHRISTIAN.

A lady that I work with responded with the following to this message: Torm house was and is possibly still in the Hendricks County, IN jail. The email describes a "Ponzi Scheme" and should be reported to the Indiana Attorney General's office. He is classified as a simple con man preying on the hospitality and bank accounts of distraught parents. I believe that he actually lives in Pittsboro, IN. He has quite a history and according to court dockets has spent much of the last 9 years in and out of jail.

www.co.hendricks.in.us take a close look at the dockets on his cases....really pathetic behavior which explains why the criminal court ordered psych eval. 2 cases of battery on minor under 14, intimidation felony charge, battery, non-support,.......on ad nauseum. In all cases he filed indigency (pauper) claims, fought to have children's testimony ruled incompetent, fought repeatedly for bond and early release, subpoenaed his own kids to criminal court,......... and NOW a Ponzi scheme baiting parenting groups. He isn't hard to find......except for brief periods of time his address is the county jail or DOC.

His phone number when he's out of jail is (was?) 317-997-7137. He appears to be relatively transient, but pretty much within the county.

JUST SAY NO is reasonable..............it appears he's flat broke and looking for money. I hope people check him out before praising....and paying....him for his "humanitarian" endeavors........whatever......

3. Now, Ray, I need you to clarify to the group, here and now, exactly what kind of false defamation(s) you are meaning against me, when you state such crap as "Could this be another of his scams to line his own pockets?" Just what "scams" are you referring to? And, just like so many others out there, I only wish my pockets didn't have holes in them, so I could even begin to start thinking about "lining" them.. except I serve the Living God of all Creation, and do NOT serve Mammon, or "money"... I live in relatively desperate poverty, without any of the "luxuries" that most of you take for apparent granted (basics to most of you, like a working car, your own home or residence, being able to take care of your medical needs, and other such "luxuries" of life), so that I can spend most of my time *dedicated* to fighting for the cause, which again is UNLIKE many people out there, who whine and cry about only their own personal custody cases, instead of pitching in to literally become a nationalized communications army that COULD HAVE had all of this war won by now.. for everyone, including those whiners..

Oh Really. Let’s check the record and some comments from people that have “hired” you

All direct quotes: His own emails quote the rate of $40 an hour. He has told some parents that $400 would get his services for life. Yet he was able to get $1,000 from one parent and $3,000 from another. Howse usually has the money sent through the website’s PayPal (I removed the link to protect people) donation account.

“Torm Howse works on people’s vulnerabilities. That’s what he did to me,” said Donald Tenn, board member of Fathers 4 Justice – US and father to abducted Madison Tenn, “I paid him $200 because he told me that he guaranteed I would get Madison back. I still haven’t received one piece of paper from him, and know I never will. I can take someone hurting me, but Howse exploits little children like my daughter Madison.”

“I was new in the movement, extremely vulnerable and desperate to find someone to help me. I worked with Mr. Howse to create the United Civil Rights Councils of America, not knowing he was a master at manipulation,” said Theresa Martin, who lived with Howse for a year, “He convinced me he was losing his storage unit in Indiana so I agreed to him storing his items in my home. When he showed up with his stuff he said he wasn’t about to go anywhere.”

“I thought I needed Torm to help me. I believed in my heart he was the only one who could,” she explained, “We had agreed he’d rent a room from me, but he didn’t pay me. I asked him to leave my home every single day for almost a year. He just refused!”

Howse left some parents at risk of jail. “When Torm Howse first started he was on time,” said Gary Helman, “then after the first hearing he started delaying everything. I was always getting emails from him saying I will have it tonight. I paid for an interlocutory appeal that he never finished. I paid for a civil suit that he never finished. I paid for an appeal and I never received it. I paid him $3,000 over all. Last July Torm called me and said, ‘they’re going to take you to jail. The food is not bad there,’ and he laughed.”

“I let Torm Howse stay in my house for a week, and paid him $1,000 to rewrite my complaint. It had been weeks and he wouldn’t get it done – ‘trust me, it is a complete victory’ he kept saying,” David Bardes told me, “Then one day he just walked out. I was left to do all the paperwork myself, with very little time.” These are just some of the people who Howse has defrauded. When asked to comment, Howse declined.

4. Let's take, for example, the absolute bullshit about me supposedly "scamming" my occasional legal clients …….No need to respond since the people you have ripped off have said everything that I need to tell.

But, the main reason is that she knows that I definitely AM coming after her in federal court, and so like the Devil at the end times, she is struggling and squirming as much and as fast as she can, trying to cause as much confusion as possible... as if that will do anything to stop her judgment approaching. Indeed, it only provides even more ammo to use against her pathetic, manipulative, dishonest game in the federal lawsuit for civil damages and injunctive relief to be filed in Phoenix, along with the handful of other similar Defendants in the movement, now including yourself, Ray, if you don't go to quick and reasonable *public* efforts to recant, apologize, and generally disclaim your ongoing defamation about me.

You want my address so you know where to send the complaint? I have seen your legal work and it is so flawed that I have nothing to fear from you idiot.

and, so on with various proofs on the small handful of people mentioned to stay away from. It is with only good reasons.

Anyway, these kind of people, like you, Ray, whether they are the initiators of seriously-injuring falsehoods, or whether they are so dull that they quickly believe anything "dirty laundry" about anyone, and just blindly gossip on and forward on the same seriously-injuring falsehoods, obviously without ever even checking any facts, at all, are simply not the kind of people that are trustworthy enough to responsibly run a large organization, and to be trusted with important information and critical responsibilities, and etc., let alone be deserving of financial/other blessings by being listed at/for any level of UCRCoA.

It's not exactly like UCRCoA is expressly trying to become a spiritually-led (SPIRITAULLY LEAD? CHECK YOUR LANUAGE )organization, but if you're going to run a truly successful operation, then you definitely must have non-confused/non-easily-misled people at and near the top, so there have certainly been some prunings of unnecessary/burdensome people during the past few months, that's for sure.

The prunings have been of anyone that has come forward with the truth about your fraud or challenged your BS leadership. Your ramblings are those a paranoid that is watching his scam fall around him as he runs from the law and looking for his next con job. Even your Ponzi scheme email lists several that you refuse to work with. I can not even begin to tell you the level of co-operation that goes on between myself and other organizations because all they have to do is ask.

5. Next, the ongoing, growing bullcrap about the state-based classaction lawsuits filed in late 2004. First, these suits were entirely voluntary, for each of the 1-2 principal plaintiffs in the original 46 States that entered. The filing fees for each of these civil rights lawsuits in federal courts was ONLY $150.00 flat, plus maybe 10-20 bucks in certified mail services. These fees were often shared by a small group of people, but a few principal plaintiffs paid the entire thing themselves. However, every year since then, the naysayers and weak-minded people keep *growing* the supposed amount that was ostensibly "scammed" from the plaintiffs, from a jump of false $250/case (circa late 2005 - early 2006), then up to $300 and $400 (late 2006 through early 2008), then even up to a whopping supposed $500/case spent, as was airwaved around in the past several months.. These people saying such wild things, like yourself, Ray, are obvious fools and liars, and apparently just say whatever to bitch and whine and moan and criticize falsely, and so they are not trustworthy, either.

Least we forget your own admission that the writing of this complaint was flawed, an admission that you personally made on Talk Shoe at the same time that you admitted to being a convicted child abuser. When this case was reviewed by myself and others prior to the filing we all warned that it would be dismissed for 11^th Amendment Immunity (which it was) and for Rooker-Feldman/Younger issues which you failed to address even though you were give sound legal advice refused to address.

Then, let's not also forget to talk about the actual LAW involved in those state-based classactions, because there was no "scam" at all. Indeed, the ONLY fools in the legal side of the movement, are the ones that think their SINGLE CASE has any possibility of ever "making it" in any federal court as corrupt as they have all been for quite some time. The ONLY realistic way of slamming the federal court system, is to blanket it with massive numbers of filers, and everything else is a foolish notion, considering the obvious breaking and bending of rules and law that the federal (and state) courts do daily.

Every single one of those federal classaction lawsuits that was eventually dismissed by the corresponding crook judge, was affirmatively treasoned against clear and simple law of NO State "immunity" allowed. Every case had a notice filed into it, clearly demarking the absolute statutory fact of no immunity could be used by any of the States sued, pursuant to the very simple and short 42 USC 2000d-7 provisions. The simple law *clearly* waives ALL immunity for the States, when they are sued over discrimination/etc. in any of their federally-funded "programs and services". See the last clause/provision of that 2000d-7 statute. There is, and was, no possible dispute, whatsoever. We had them dead to rights, because I did my homework, and that necessarily meant going straight to the actual merits of the case (i.e., the presentation of evidence of gender discrimination and other civil rights violations within their federally-funded family courts), and that would have knocked down the multi-billion-dollar divorce industry, IF -- and a big IF -- enough numbers of people like yourself would have gotten off their lazy, selfish asses to bring public support to a critical mass... enough to make the federal judges sit up STRAIGHT in time.. So, the federal judges took the opportunity of people like YOU not making any show, even though you were repeatedly asked to help, and they just went ahead and dismissed for "immunity" reasons... when they clearly KNEW they could not statutorily do that.

Hell, I had ALL the States sooo scared of my legal kung fu ( more like legal bull S**t), that out of all of the 40-some motions to dismiss, there were only six copy-for-copy varieties that came, i.e., the States were talking to each other in groups/clusters of State attorneys, and each "type" of motion to dismiss came in, nearly word-for-word, caselaw-for-caselaw, punctuation-error-for-punctuation-error, a handful of times apiece. One State even *forgot* to actually change the statename that they were copying verbatim from, and mistakenly left "Kansas" on *their* motion to dismiss...

Perfect? Hardly as you and none of these went anywhere because you failed to listen when told what was wrong with the complaint. Take from part of the only team that was able to get a complaint to the merits. Every bit of advise that was offered and has been continued to be offered by us ahs been ignored.

Chuck even wrote out the entire procedure and you have ignored it.

This message contains about $250,000 of legal advice-and this is probably incredibly low---no BS, about 14 years of nearly full-time experience (with help).

Experience and Knowledge from the years of study and application from the cases of Caron, Evans, Galluzzo, and Rosenberger (the Galluzzo duplicate case in New York- a federal case that went to 2nd Circuit oral argument which I attended after prepping Harold who did a great job---same result as in Galluzzo---no Article III question-however since we appealed Galluzzo on the merits this did not come up until the 6th Circuit issued their decision and chastised the federal magistrate Merz for not recognizing the failure to begin with.

FACTS:

1. There is no original action remedy in federal court where a state custody case is still pending or a state custody case is at final decree.

---If a case is pending dismissal occurs via Younger v. Harris and Huffman v. Pursue.

---If a case is adjudicated-final decree there is no Article III question (6th Circuit Galluzzo result) AND an

Article III question is REQUIRED for federal jurisdiction.

The reason is that the state court's final decree proves that the case was submitted under state law "as applied", therefore claim preclusion (estoppel and res judicata) obtains. Therefore, a federal case will be dismissed pursuant to Rooker-Feldman, because there is no federal question (Article III question).

Even though I was able to reverse the federal court in Galluzzo as to Rooker, the federal appellate court reasoned that an Article III question never existed-Mike's case was already adjudicated, therefore he had already submitted it (voluntarily or otherwise) when he permitted the state court to proceed in a custody trial.

The only remedy is to challenge the statutes "as applied" to his case (only). Then he could appeal to the state and finally to the USSC, but only on an "as applied" basis to his individual case.

2. A federal habeas action will be dismissed. Why? My second federal case (of 3) was a federal habeas case arguing my liberty right (14th amendment) to custody was denied. However, the pre-requisite to a federal habeas case required me to challenge the deprivation in the appellate court/state Supreme Court FIRST (an extraordinary writ is an original action in either). Then when you are turned down will the federal court entertain an action. The problem is that under federal case law the circuit courts have excluded any liberty deprivation EXCEPT personal liberty (as in incarceration ONLY). This was the decision supported by federal case law. Habeas in federal court is an automatic dismissal for non-personal liberty deprivations).

3. No attorney knows any of the information in this email-PROMISE. Even those who think they do and practice in federal court.

4. Removal is not the proper term and while this is a legal maneuver, it is where a federal court obtains jurisdiction and the state court must relinquish it (this is an extremely elemental explanation, not a legal argument as to removal)--the only alternative is Reservation.

5. Step-by-step (for all litigants, including all attorneys who have no idea either):

a) A federal case must be filed BEFORE a constitutional challenge in state court is filed first (this is a declaratory judgment action in state court). Make sure the proper parties are addressed. Remember a state has immunity under the 11th amendment and does not have to voluntarily defend its statutes. Proper parties are those affected by the challenge, i.e., sufficiently adverse parties (the legal terminology) your estranged spouse (you are not divorced yet) and the attorney general in his official capacity are proper parties. You might as well name the state also as you have to serve the attorney general (this is in addition to naming the AG in his official capacity) anyway with a copy. However, the state can opt out and be dismissed if it wants. Filed collaterally with the federal complaint, you should file a motion to hold the federal suit in abeyance until the state court has had the opportunity pursuant to express reservation (see c below) to declare the constitutionality of the state's statutory scheme.

b) The state domestic court must NOT have already adjudicated temporary orders, or you have not had an oral hearing challenging temporary orders. Once a hearing has been done, you are submitting your claims on an "as applied" basis, and claim preclusion denies any further opportunity to request declaratory judgment on the constitutionality of state law.

c) Presuming no submission to the state domestic court, you must file a written NOTICE of RESERVATION that you are reserving your right to return to federal court under reservation however permitting the state court the opportunity to declare the constitutionality of the state laws in question first, when you file your declaratory judgment action in the state court (this is a separate action from your divorce case-why? Because you must name the State as a proper party to defend (it's) state laws in state court...make sure you cite the federal reservation cases (Windsor, New England Medical Examiners, etc.)

d) The Notice of Reservation should be filed with the Complaint in the state declaratory judgment case.

e) The state court declaratory judgment case must get to the merits.

f) If the state court gets to the merits and you do not agree, you must notify the federal court that pursuant to reservation you are invoking your right for federal adjudication on the constitutionality of the statutory scheme. Of course, you must include the final decision. You do not appeal this to the state appellate court. Because of express reservation you are effectively circumventing the Rooker-Feldman doctrine if you follow the above steps.

Of course, none of this will go exactly as addressed-there will be challenges to the state court jurisdiction, i.e., the jurisdictional priority rule, proper parties, eventually a challenge to the written reservation itself, etc.

Without going into detail, I have filed a writ of prohibition denying the domestic judge to proceed where he does not have jurisdiction (in Ohio) in the pending divorce case to make declaratory judgment on the facial constitutionality of state law because the State of Ohio has to be a party in a declaratory judgment case and CANNOT be joined as a party in a divorce action. The judge, as a common pleas judge in the domestic relations division), has the authority, however, the case must be a separate case filed in the domestic division of the court of common pleas. So it cannot be included in the pending divorce because then state law would be submitted "as applied".

The writ was to deny the domestic court from proceeding and forcing me to submit my custody challenge "as applied". The other wrinkle is that the general division (where I filed the declaratory judgment case against the State) dismissed the case (improperly under the jurisdictional priority rule) ruling that the domestic court had the jurisdiction to make a declaratory judgment for a facial challenge to Ohio's statutory scheme IN THE PENDING DIVORCE CASE. I filed an appeal, defended by the AG's office, and oral argument is scheduled on June 4 at 9 am in the Tenth District Appellate Court. The AG claims that the domestic division has subject matter jurisdiction as it is a division of the common pleas court-I agree, however, the declaratory judgment case for the facial challenge cannot be addressed in the pending divorce case.

Anyone with half a meager brain can *easily* see that 42 USC 2000d-7 is the perfect statute to fight family court injustices, by automatically waiving all immunity for the States (and any "arm" of the State), but that also means people have to look past their own self-absorbed closets, and actually pay attention to the pioneering work of others, such as my other discovery of the years-unnoticed official federal holiday of Parents Day, this year on Sunday, July 26th (36 USC 135), and what POWER that gives to the parental rights movement. http://unitedcivilrights.org/parentsday.html

When the Galluzzo case was making its various levels of appeal after appeal, etc., I routinely responded to the call put out to raise involvement and support for THAT case, by implementing blasts and blasts and so forth. However, I never could get the same kind of unity of spirit from people like YOU, Ray, who *should have* been able to understand such clear and simple law. I back winners that have a chance of getting something done You have done more to disrupt that activities of those that are making progress than that any other person I have ever seen. Your attacks on activists that have been on the ball for years because they do not fall in line or into your trap of deception is harmful to the movement and continues with this latest Ponzi scheme of yours. BTW- I find nothing on this supposed church that you claim will help people with child support problems or is this another of your cons? Guess simple statutes like that are beyond your level of legal comprehension.. Hardly which is why I have filed in Federal Court challenging Ohio’s Custody law and statutes concerning temporary orders. So, the ONLY problem with the state-based classactions (being NOT the law used, which was airtight even IN their corrupt court system), was the fact that not enough so-called movement activists got off their asses in time, and so the federal courts "snuck one in" on us, because WHY should they EVER worry, when too many self-professed pro se scholars in the family rights movement, like yourself, are either too stupid and/or too blind to see and know a perfect setup when they (don't bother to) see it??

Again, suing ANY family court in federal court, using 42 USC 2000d-7, is a PERFECT and STATUTORY setup to break any and all sticks off in the States' so-called immunity defenses, because they get NONE at all, by law.

Sooo, you now gonna get your head out of your ass, Ray, and make public apologies for your wild and crazy defamations repeatedly against me, or do you just wanna try and (not) explain the same thing in federal court in Phoenix? Makes no difference to me, since I have plenty of "pockets to take lining from" already, and I have the PROOF of the truth, also.

As I said before, do you want my address so you can serve me with you complaint? I will gladly come to Phoenix to prove you to be the ass that you are.

Grieving Parents Lose Thousands To Con Artist

Whether by disease, accident, murder or suicide, losing a child is one of the worst experiences a person could face. Another tragedy that ranks at the top of the list is having a missing child. Strangers abduct a small percentage of these children. Most are abducted by one of their parents.

There’s one type of parental child abduction that doesn’t get much attention. It happens when one parent uses the legal system to postpone or eliminate any chance of the other parent spending time with the children. One way is by claiming fear of domestic violence. Studies now show that sixty to eighty percent of allegations of domestic violence are later found to be unnecessary or false.

Many parents who find themselves victims of this hidden crime are confused, outraged, overwhelmed and desperate. Those who look for help online can find a wealth of information on websites and in related forums. Some offer in-person meetings and conferences. Others offer interactive Internet talk shows.

As described in Defiant Dads, most of these people are knowledgeable, sincere, and generous with their advice and encouragement. Unfortunately this is not true of everyone a parent might come across in the online community, which is often called the fathers’ movement, the family rights movement or the equal parenting movement. One man who has taken advantage of these vulnerable parents is Torm Howse, creator of the website UnitedCivilRights.org.

Howse, who has spent time in prison for intimidation and battery, been convicted of child abuse and ~~allegedly~~ has two warrants out for his arrest, offers his services writing legal papers. His own emails quote the rate of $40 an hour. He has told some parents that $400 would get his services for life. Yet he was able to get $1,000 from one parent and $3,000 from another. Howse usually has the money sent through the ’websites PayPal donation account.

“Torm Howse works on people’s vulnerabilities. That’s what he did to me,” said Donald Tenn, board member of Fathers 4 Justice – US and father to abducted Madison Tenn, “I paid him $200 because he told me that he guaranteed I would get Madison back. I still haven’t received one piece of paper from him, and know I never will. I can take someone hurting me, but Howse exploits little children like my daughter Madison.”

“I was new in the movement, extremely vulnerable and desperate to find someone to help me. I worked with Mr. Howse to create the United Civil Rights Councils of America, not knowing he was a master at manipulation,” said Theresa Martin, who lived with Howse for a year, “He convinced me he was losing his storage unit in Indiana so I agreed to him storing his items in my home. When he showed up with his stuff he said he wasn’t about to go anywhere.”

“I thought I needed Torm to help me. I believed in my heart he was the only one who could,” she explained, “We had agreed he’d rent a room from me, but he didn’t pay me. I asked him to leave my home every single day for almost a year. He just refused!”

Howse left some parents at risk of jail. “When Torm Howse first started he was on time,” said Gary Helman, “then after the first hearing he started delaying everything. I was always getting emails from him saying I will have it tonight. I paid for an interlocutory appeal that he never finished. I paid for a civil suit that he never finished. I paid for an appeal and I never received it. I paid him $3,000 over all. Last July Torm called me and said, ‘they’re going to take you to jail. The food is not bad there,’ and he laughed.”

“I let Torm Howse stay in my house for a week, and paid him $1,000 to rewrite my complaint. It had been weeks and he wouldn’t get it done – ‘trust me, it is a complete victory’ he kept saying,” David Bardes told me, “Then one day he just walked out. I was left to do all the paperwork myself, with very little time.” These are just some of the people who Howse has defrauded. When asked to comment, Howse declined.

There were many objections when Howse first proposed his equal parenting class action lawsuits a few years ago. Ray Lautenschlager, of Parents And Children for Equality (PACE) said “Mike Galluzzo, Chuck Evans and I told Howse that his civil suit was a doomed effort because the wording and legal approach would not work, based on past experience and what we were finding out with the Galluzzo case at that time. The end result was a mass dismissal of all of the cases that they brought forth. And financial losses that were unnecessarily placed on the people that this wannabe leader had duped.”

The Ponzi Scheme

As a listed or potentially-listed UCRCoA leader, you are invited to an open discussion tonight, regarding profit-sharing aspects of the main (seven regional) ParentStock Events. Profit-sharing is only for UCRCoA leaders who demonstrate their faithfulness, motivation, and willingness to be part of the action team towards success.

Saturday, June 6th, 2009, Talkshoe # 37984, ParentStock 2009

http://talkshoe.com/tc/37984 (computer chatboard + listen to audio)

1-724-444-7444 (call-in number to listen, and optionally speak in queue)

Now, about those various "salary items" mentioned, for your full, urgent, and faithful work as one of the listed UCRCoA leaders for County, State, or higher.. In the next forty-five (45) days, you can literally have it all, and also help others get greatly blessed, too, including being responsible for helping to get who-knows-how-many noncustodial parents assisted in finances and legal help towards wiping clean their child support arrearages, via a corresponding ministry (BTM).

There are THREE KINDS of "salary items" for each of you, all based on motivation = award, and all three detailed below, as having to do with promoting and completing the seven major regional, plus all-nationwide, ParentStock events.

These three kinds of income for you are percentages of: (1) sales of online CafePress products; (2) paid sign-ups of local ParentStock event coordinators, at the county levels; and (3) net proceeds of the seven Regional ParentStock events.

I pray you will all quickly dive in deep without any hesitation...

FIRST FINANCIAL BENEFIT

Regarding the first/easiest "salary item" -- your cuts/shares of the UCRCoA CafePress e-Store items, including the new ones just made especially for ParentStock 2009.. i.e., effective immediately, right now, and through at least the last day of July this year (and probably to be extended..), your net profit percentages from all UCRCoA CafePress products purchased online (now a total of somewhere just over 5000 unique products, with the new ParentStock items just added) are:

[ http://www.cafepress.com/ucrcoa <-- link to e-Store "front door" ]

1. from everything in the entire e-Store that is *NOT * the ParentStock 2009 items, that is, everything else, I will share out a generous 70% of all of the net profits on those items, back to the same State and Region, distributed as follows:

---- 30% back to the State Board of Directors for the same State Civil Rights Council of where items were purchased. For example, if a purchase was made by someone in Maine, the 30% share of the net profits of that purchase would be credited towards the State Board of Directors for the Maine Civil Rights Council, to be divided amongst them equally.

---- 30% back to be divided equally among each of the State Boards of Directors for the other several State Civil Rights Councils that are within the same UCRCoA Region. In the above example of a purchase made by someone in Maine, then each of the six (6) other State Boards in Region 7, the same UCRCoA Region as Maine, would receive their 5% share of those same net profits, with each profit share to be further divided equally amongst that State set of Board Directors.

---- 10% back to be divided equally among all eight (8) of the Regional leaders representing the State where items were purchased. In the above example of a purchase made by someone in Maine, then 1.25% would go to each of: the five (5) Regional Coordinators for Region 7, the one (1) Membership Director for Region 7, and both the "top Dad" and "top Mom" who also come from Region 7 and sit on the National Board, for a total of eight (8) persons.

Please note: Regional leaders get two different kinds of shares - their own "State" share, plus their "Regional" share.

2. from the ParentStock 2009 "ALL" items, I will share out a really huge 80% of all of the net profits on those particular items, distributed as follows:

---- the same pattern as is divided up under # 1 above, for the first 70% total of net profits to be distributed.

---- plus, another 5% back to the State Board of Directors for the corresponding State of purchase.

---- plus, another 4% back to the entire eight (8) Regional leaders as are described above.

---- plus, another 1% back to the corresponding Regional Membership Director.

3. from each of your OWN Region's ParentStock 2009 "City Event " products, I will share out a whopping 90% of all of the net profits on those items, distributed as follows:

---- the same pattern as is divided up under # 1 above, for the first 70% total of net profits to be distributed.

---- the same pattern as is divided up under # 2 above, for the next 10% total of net profits to be distributed.

---- plus, another 3% back to the State Board of Directors for the corresponding State of purchase.

---- plus, another 6% back to the eight (8) Regional leaders as are described above.

---- plus, another 1% back to the corresponding Regional Membership Director.

Frankly, this is no small chump change, since I am expecting sales of at least one-half million units for ParentStock, and assuming that enough of all of you pull together in time, this is easily doable, if not more..

SECOND FINANCIAL BENEFIT

Now, regarding the second easiest "salary item" -- your cuts/shares of the paid sign-ups for county-level people to be their official ParentStock Local Event Coordinators. As you can see on the (soon to be enhanced) current single page of http://parentstock2009.com, each applicant for being *listed* as an official PS local Coordinator will have to faith-seed $7.77 in PayPal trade for being given a full setup for instant productivity, including receiving a full pre-customized website, official hi-rez PS graphics, being listed/linked, given leads for local musicians, and so forth. Each PS local Coordinator will also be listed as a UCRCoA County Team Leader, and we will have up to three coordinators/leaders listed for each County on the main UCRCoA website - mirrored to the ParentStock website's same up-to-three local event Coordinators. The absolute maximum of total fees donated would be 3140 counties X 3 people/county X $7.77 = $73,193.40 to be divided up amongst the people doing the lion's share of all this computerized work, including the membership/leaders/coordinators databasing, i.e., myself and the seven Membership Directors, plus something in the derivative for other Regional and State leaders bringing many new people in at these county levels. A more realistic expectation might be full coverage of three persons for each of the approx 1000 most populated counties, plus one to two people listed for the next lesser-populated 1000 or so counties, plus maybe, or maybe not, one person listed in any of the remaining 1000+ USA counties out there..

So, the more realistic expectation might be something in the range of $30,000.00 to $35,000.00 - more or less - from these local PS event Coordinator faith donations, and whatever amount it does end up being, I will share out that total as follows:

---- 10% of the overall total, a full tithe, donated onward to BTM for work in eradicating child support arrearage cases.

---- 21% of the overall total, regardless of where the local Event Coordinator donations come from, as 3% of the overall total credited directly to each and every one of the seven (7) Regional Membership Directors, i.e., as geography-irrelevant.

---- 7% of the overall total, by Region where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 7% of Regional subtotals credited back to each Membership Director of that same Region, i.e., as geography-relevant.

---- 10% of the overall total, by Region where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 10% of Regional subtotals credited back to each set of five (5) Regional Operations Coordinators, i.e., as geography-relevant.

---- 2% of the overall total, by Region where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 1% of Regional subtotals credited back to each/both the "top Dad" and "top Mom" on the National Board from that Region.

---- 10% of the overall total, by State where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 10% of that State's subtotal credited back to that State's UCRCoA Board of Directors, to be divided equally amongst them.

---- 10% of the overall total, by State where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 10% of that State's subtotal credited back to that State's UCRCoA Board of Directors, to be used expressly and exclusively for hosting other large ParentStock events in one or more metropolitan cities within their same State.

---- 10% of the overall total, by Region where the local Event Coordinator donations come from each given State, as 10% of that Region's subtotal credited back to that Regional set of leadership, under the care of that Membership Director, to be used expressly and exclusively for paying for things to build up their own major Regional ParentStock Event even bigger. Decisions on expenditures must be by majority vote of the full eight (8) Regional leaders (as described further above), and any leftover monies remaining, to be used on the next future Regional events hosted by UCRCoA, and likely soon enough.

THIRD FINANCIAL BENEFIT

Now, regarding the third easiest "salary item" -- your cuts/shares of the individual seven (7) major ParentStock events, i.e., in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Jacksonville, Sacramento, and Washington DC. I am presently in the works for bids, by three different Christian event promotion agencies in each of these seven major cities, i.e., 21 total agencies, to handle all sorts of related regional promotion and promotional/residual income for each of these seven major Events, such as "ParentStock 2009" souvenirs and other branded trinkets, hot food items and cold drinks by sets of approved vendors at each of the seven different major events, and several other types of merchant involvements, whether or not they are smaller local businesses, or of the major corporate/organizational sponsorship level - several of which I am additionally grooming to be a significant part of these seven major events, directly.. Frankly, there is just no telling how big this could all end up being, but I am offering each of these Christian event promotion agencies a package deal, including a huge 70% cut of all net proceeds to keep for themselves from the local Event managed as big as they can make it, plus have the opportunity to join forces with the other six (6) bid-winning Christian promotion agencies, to work directly for/with BTM and the financial aspects for undergirding that ongoing ministry to eradicate more and more child support arrearage cases. They must also tithe a full tithe of whatever they gross at their own main/regional ParentStock Event, on to BTM for that same work.

Part of that minimum bid process is also agreeing to provide guaranteed reservations at the nearest Hyatt Regency to their own corresponding Regional ParentStock Event, for at least two (2) rooms for UCRCoA Officers, as well as one (1) room for the representatives from each of the other invited and accepting corporate sponsors, for that Thursday night through that Sunday night. One of these UCRCoA rooms will be earmarked for the Regional Membership Director and her choice of family and/or friends (or none, lol), while the other UCRCoA complimentary room will be made like available for "the most outstanding" Regional Coordinator, in terms of overall performance and success in recruiting and promotional work done.

There are other smaller odds and ends that go into the bid process, but that doesn't affect my information to you here.

Of the remaining 30% cut of all net proceeds from the agency's promotion of the given Regional/main ParentStock Event, a full tithe, or 10%, will go to BTM for eradicating more child support arrearage cases. The Regional Membership Director will receive a 3% cut of those net proceeds, while each of the other seven Regional leaders will receive a 1% cut each. I will also retain a 3% cut of that Region's main Event net proceeds, and the final 7% cut shall be divided evenly among the State Boards of Directors for the corresponding UCRCoA Region of that same Event.

Trust me, it will definitely be computer accounting software taking care of all the different calculations and etc....

CONDITIONS REQUIRED

However, each receiver of finances (i.e., each Membership Director, each of the ROCs, each of the State Directors, etc.) must accept and agree to tithe a one-tenth portion (10%) of your/their own profit-sharing income to the BTM ministry being used to eradicate child support arrearage cases. Likewise, I am also tithing a one-tenth portion of my income to BTM, and I am heavily re-investing my remaining amounts right back into even more things, first for ParentStock, and second for UCRCoA's growing future. If a person doesn't want to agree, that's fine, they do not have to be listed with UCRCoA, at all, nor really be any part of this adventure... they can just simply be removed from any and all UCRCoA leadership listings.

In proportion for their vast earning and notoriety potentials, the Regional Membership Director, that Region's set of five (5) fully-functional Regional Operations Coordinators (ROCs), and the "top Dad" and "top Mom" of that same Region, will all be required to work diligently and quickly at the highest levels of coordinating their own major ParentStock regional Event, including the actual scheduling of speakers and seminars and the like, and also with proper management of all other aspects required for a successful Regional Event. If any one of these combined eight (8) Regional leaders fails or ignores to participate in a meaningful manner, and/or falls significantly short of the work ethic and diligence of the entire Regional leadership group at large, then he or she is subject to complete removal from any and all UCRCoA leadership listings, and without any further claim or interest to any of the profit-sharing channels described above, from that moment of removal on.

As various NEW people are brought on board with UCRCoA at either a State, Regional, or National role, their own profit-sharing percentages as described above will be pro-rated at X number of days active leadership until ParentStock, from a base of 60 days, starting on this past May 24th. For example, a new State leader submits their request and is brought on board on June 11th. This person would be a listed leader for 43 days by ParentStock, and receive 43/60ths, or approx 71.7%, of whatever royalties/profit-sharing they would be otherwise entitled to, as a pre-existing UCRCoA State leader that receives a full 100% of their financial channels. As to existing UCRCoA leaders coming UP to a HIGHER position of leadership, then the appropriate and corresponding pro-rata calculations will be also made for that person as well. For example, an existing State leader moves up to Regional Coordinator on June 7th. That person would receive the new pro-ration of Regional-level financial benefits from that day forward, while (as still being a State leader) he/she would still be receiving all of the same State-level financial benefits.

MISCELLANEOUS, AND MORE DETAILS COMING

ALL UCRCoA listed leaders must immediately begin including an automatic email signature, especially within and upon their own normal email and any webmail, which includes *at least* their own full name, UCRCoA Title, and an appropriate UCRCoA link. But, of course, their email signature may also include any other favorite and/or supporting organizations and so forth, just as long as an appropriate UCRCoA Title and link are included. If the person does not agree or fails to include it, they are subject to complete removal from any and all UCRCoA leadership listings, and termination of all profit-sharing potential and claims, whatsoever, after first being given all proper reasonable notice and opportunity to correct the matter in a prompt and timely manner, i.e., a couple/few days, at most.

ALL UCRCoA listed leaders for State and any higher positions must complete their online UCRCoA State profile, by working diligently with their own corresponding Regional Membership Director, within seven (7) calendar days of being reminded/asked, starting as of today, Saturday, June 6th, 2009, or be likewise subject to termination and removal without further notice or question, and likewise with all profit-sharing and claims terminated in the same above manner.

There are a small handful of people that will NOT be allowed anything - whatsoever - to do with UCRCoA or ParentStock, and anyone that has anything to do with these same people are subject to immediate and full termination from all things related to UCRCoA and ParentStock, without any further notice. These absolute "no-no" people are here and now listed as, but not necessarily limited to, the three former UCRCoA Regional Membership Directors, Julia Moreno (if real name), Charity Kreasko (if real name), and Alison Younes, as well as also: Teri Stoddard, Richar Farr, Suzanne Shell, Gregory Hession, Nancy Lankford, Shawn Monahan and Roberta Monahan. This latter list will likely grow by a few names, too.

Again, a person does NOT have to remain listed with UCRCoA -- they are free to go if they cannot accept the conditions.

Booths/Tables -- any "family rights" organization may FREELY bring their own card table, 6 foot table, or 8 foot table (1 table only per org), up to whatever limit that the Regional leadership of the same ParentStock Event determines is the maximum number of org tables to be permitted at the Event location. They must bring their own table, plus some sort of tablecover/tablecloth, to create a professional appearance for their "booth".. There may or may not be a limited selection of *indoor* locations available at each main Regional Event, again, to be determined by the Regional Event leadership, and according to the physical logistics within their own Regional Event.

The seven Regional ParentStock 2009 Event basic locations:

Region 1 - Sacramento, CA (details upon final installation of new Region 1 Membership Director)

Region 2 - Denver, CO (details upon final installation of new Region 2 Membership Director)

Region 3 - Dallas, TX @ Fair Park and surrounding landmarks

Region 4 - Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Park and surrounding landmarks

Region 5 - Jacksonville, FL @ both sides of the downtown Waterfront/Riverwalk areas.

Region 6 - Washington, DC @ hopefully the same locations as planned..

Region 7 - Boston, MA @ Boston Common and surrounding landmarks

Hopefully, you will be excited to join the Talkshoe # 37984 tonight at 7pm Eastern / 6pm Central / 5pm Mountain / 4pm Pacific, and learn about how you can become highly successful for yourself, and for others, very soon:
