This publication is dedicated to unbiased coverage of news and events, popular culture and issues important to all decent people, especially so fathers and children, whose voices in our society are habitually muffled and gagged.
Welcome to the blog of the International Fathers and Children Coalition.

Defeat the New York Bills, Which Seek to Outlaw Free Speech on the Internet, target political speech on pretext of... “protecting children”
The Assault on the First Amendment has been in the works nine (9) months, since Sept-2011.
The four Democrat NY Senators formed an unlikely coalition with the Assembly Republicans to kill the freedom of speech on the Internet. Characteristically, even though the Republican-sponsored bill was introduced last fall, they "unveiled" it to the People only some 3 weeks ago.
The four New York State Senators, who released a report on cyberbullying -- our local Senators Diane Savino and David Carlucci among them -- argued that free speech - in all its protected glory - should be viewed as "a state granted privilege."
They want to put further restrictions on the First Amendment, in order "to protect the children." What a vacuous "argument"! I'd say, this "argument" is treasonous. When taking the oath of public office they were sworn "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of new York". Now, they are trying to remake it to fit requirements appropriate for Nazis. What arrogance !!!
While the previous article was titled, "NY senators argue the First Amendment is a privilege not a right", teenagers want to be left well enough alone; they do not care to be "protected" by law that seeks to criminalize many of them, so the hungry New York lawyers could get more billable hours.
