We thank you The Honorable Congressman Ron Paul for your wisdom voting against the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997. As Parents we are concerned about the corruption and usurping of constitutional rights in the name of the children. State CPS agencies are legally kidnapping childen for federal dollars. Parents who had there kids taken with no evidence to support the allegations. When they appear in Family/Juvenile Courts. The accused are deprived of a trial by jury. Also Deprived of the Fifth Amendment rights not answer questions they can use against them. There is no due process and rights to any fair trial under the color of law. Children have no rights under the writ of Habeas Corpus being held in Foster care with no evidence of a crime. We ask you as a contender for the President of the United States of America. If Elected you will do everything in power under the US Constitution has delegated to the executive branch. You will cut of the money encouraging this unconstitutional practice of the States CPS agencies of taking children from loving parents. We understand the Family unit is the back bone of our society and the strength of our nation. CPS through this Federal Money under CAPTA(Child Abuse Protection Treatment Act of 1974), The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 and the social security act has corrupted our local police,local government and politicians because of the money they get per child. We have petitioned our governors,our state legislators and our county government about this rogue operation taking kids with no due process. To no avail the abuse in foster homes, the lawlessness of the CPS workers,the judges and the police violating our civil rights fell on deaf ears and have failed the people they are supposed to represent. We ask you do everything in your power to put an end the CPS as we know and keep government out of the family. We acknowledge real Child Abuse,Neglect and Abandonment is a criminal act that should be dealt with in criminal court under State laws. And the Child should be removed for the child's safety and put with close kin and a foster home as a last resort. We ask you again to stop the funding and return it as a local/State issue and no longer subsidised by the Federal Government.
