Like our namesake, Patrick Henry, who refused to ratify the Constitution for Virginia unless the Bill of Rights was added, famously declared “Give me liberty, or give me death!”, we believe in fighting for what’s right. We recognize that the pursuit of liberty requires constant vigilance, and that includes ensuring fairness and equal treatment under the law for everyone, regardless of gender, and protecting against government overreach in all its forms. Too often, the letter of the law is used to deny the fundamental spirit of justice, which includes a basic level of care for our fellow human beings, their inherent rights to the pursuit of happiness, to raise their children, and to live without the constant burden of corrupt systems and societal norms. We believe that men face unique challenges in today’s legal system, particularly within family and criminal courts, and that their rights are often overlooked or disregarded. We also recognize that government tyranny can manifest in different ways, from overregulation to underregulation, and that both can disproportionately harm men and their families, often by adhering to the letter of regulations while violating the underlying spirit of fairness, which should encompass care for basic human rights.

We will hire attorneys and lobbyyists to fight to change laws

Hold Society Accountable

Expose the Villains: A hero is someone who sacrifices oneself for the good of others. Too often, we see examples of villains who sacrifice others for the benefit of themselves. Men are tired of it. Too much has been lost by the good for the profit of the corrupt. They can never repay the infinite damage they have done. But we can help prevent further damage in the future. It is time to fight back, guided by the true spirit of justice.

The injustice we see today does not occur in a vacuum. Individuals are often blamed for circumstances that are the inevitable result of corrupt systems built to benefit a select few. The government, corporations, and the justice system itself have created structures that exploit the vulnerable while shielding the powerful from accountability. When the individual is held responsible for systemic failures, it allows those who profit from these failures to escape consequences and continue their cycle of exploitation.

Governments enact policies that drive people into desperation, then punish them when they try to survive. Corporations maximize profit by exploiting workers, polluting communities, and manipulating markets, all while using their wealth to avoid justice. The justice system itself has become a corrupt billion-dollar industry, profiting from mass incarceration, excessive fines, and plea deals that strip individuals of their rights. It prioritizes revenue generation over fairness, ensuring that the poor remain trapped in a cycle of punishment while the wealthy evade consequences. This cycle of impunity must end.

The ripple effects of these corrupt institutions create a cascading series of events that trap individuals in impossible situations. When a man loses his job due to corporate greed, he may turn to desperate measures to support his family. When the justice system prioritizes conviction rates over fairness, it turns innocent people into criminals on paper. When fathers are stripped of their rights in family courts, it perpetuates cycles of broken families and trauma. Yet society continues to blame individuals rather than addressing the systemic rot at its core.

It is time to stop allowing these institutions to deflect responsibility. The real villains must be exposed. Those who profit from injustice must be held accountable. The people must demand reform, transparency, and consequences for those who have built their wealth and power on the suffering of others. Justice should not be a privilege for the few—it must be a right for all.

We must recognize that corruption in our institutions is not an accident; it is by design. And because it is by design, it can be dismantled. Only by holding society accountable can we create a future where justice is not a commodity to be bought, but a guarantee for every citizen.

Patrick Henry will use the funds generated by your purchases to:

• Provide comprehensive legal services for men: This includes access to cutting-edge AI legal tools, personalized legal advice from experienced attorneys, and even direct legal representation in family and criminal court proceedings. We understand the complexities of navigating the legal system and are committed to providing men with the resources and support they need to protect their rights. We strive to ensure that men receive not just legal advice, but just advice, reflecting the true spirit of the law.

• Advocate for a Family Court Men’s Bill of Rights: We are pushing for Constitutional Amendments to establish a Family Court Men’s Bill of Rights, mirroring the protections afforded by the Bill of Rights in criminal court, and recognizing the even greater importance of parental rights. We seek to embed the spirit of these fundamental rights within family courts, preventing the letter of procedural rules from being used to deny true justice.    This includes:
  • Legal protections equal to or greater than criminal court to reflect the greater stakes and punishments: Why are legal protections in family court weaker than those in criminal court when the stakes are higher? This disparity is both unjust to children and fathers and defies logic and consistency in the justice system. Our children are our most precious and irreplaceable assets in life, greater than even our own freedom, yet the legal system provides less protection for custody rights than it does for freedom from incarceration in criminal trials. Paradoxically, any loving parent would choose jail or prison or even their own life over losing their child if given the choice. Why, then, when the potential loss of a child is the ultimate consequence, does family court offer weaker legal safeguards and due process protections than criminal court, where the repercussions, though severe, are less devastating than the permanent severing of the parent-child relationship?
  • Presumption of innocence: A clear and unequivocal presumption of innocence in all family court proceedings, placing the burden of proof squarely on the accuser.
  • Standard of Proof: Require a higher standard of proof than “preponderance of the evidence” in cases involving allegations of abuse or neglect, possibly “clear and convincing evidence.”
  • Reasonable doubt standard: Applying the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard in family court cases where a man’s most valuable possession on this earth – his children – are at stake. We believe that the standard of proof in cases involving the potential loss of parental rights should be no less stringent than in criminal cases, where the potential consequences, loss of a child, are actually far more devastating to a loving parent and child than any criminal penalties. We seek to apply the spirit of justice, recognizing the profound importance of parental rights.
  • Requirements for actual video evidence: Demanding verifiable, untampered video evidence in cases where such evidence is justified, especially custody cases, preventing manipulation and misrepresentation of facts.
  • Right to Confront and Cross-Examine: Guaranteed right to confront and cross-examine all accusers and witnesses, including children (with appropriate safeguards).
  • Trial by jury: Ensuring men have the right to a jury trial in family court cases, particularly those involving custody and parental rights when the “sentence”, the loss of his child, will be potentially more severe and injurious to his life and the lives of his children than any criminal case.  Father’s should NEVER be removed from a child’s life to ANY meaningful degree unless he has first been convicted of a literal crime that proves beyond any reasonable doubt unanimously to ALL jurors that the child’s father should be removed.
  • Equal Access to Evidence: Equal access to all evidence relevant to the case, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements.
  • Consequences for False Accusations: Establish clear and meaningful consequences for making false accusations, including perjury charges, fines, and loss of custody rights for both women and their attorneys rather than the current system which encourages and rewards such behavior as a common strategy to “win” by abusing the compassion of the justice system towards the physically weaker sex. This would require careful consideration to avoid discouraging legitimate reporting of abuse.  This concept focuses on the devastating impact of false accusations against men and children in family court, particularly regarding domestic violence, child abuse and custody. It argues that the current system incentivizes false accusations and lacks consequences for those who make them, leading to the unjust destruction of men’s and children’s lives.
  • Protection from Alienation: Measures to protect children from parental alienation, including court-ordered therapy and education for parents.
  • Impartial Judges and Court Personnel: Training and oversight to ensure impartiality and prevent bias against fathers.
  • Expedited Hearings: Timely hearings to prevent prolonged separation of fathers and children based on unsubstantiated allegations.
  • Right to Legal Representation: Guaranteed right to legal representation, regardless of financial status.
  • Basic and fundamental respect for the crucial role of fathers to the well being of children – for ANYONE who had a good Father imagine if the court had removed him.  ERASE every memory (or 60%, or 80%, or 90% of memories) of him and then imagine how your life would be different:  The family court system must recognize and respect the critical role fathers play in a child’s long-term well-being. It is a grave mistake to assume that a child only needs a mother, as decades of research have demonstrated the unique and irreplaceable contributions fathers make to their children’s development. A just and balanced legal system must acknowledge this reality and ensure that fathers receive fair consideration in custody decisions.Studies have consistently shown that children who grow up with active and involved fathers perform better academically, exhibit higher self-esteem, and are less likely to engage in delinquent behavior. According to research published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, children raised in father-absent households are four times more likely to live in poverty, twice as likely to drop out of school, and more likely to experience behavioral and emotional difficulties. Additionally, a 2017 study in the journal Pediatrics found that positive father involvement is linked to better cognitive and social development, leading to more successful life outcomes.Fathers often provide distinct roles in a child’s upbringing that complement those of mothers. They serve as role models for discipline, perseverance, and problem-solving. Fathers also tend to encourage risk-taking and resilience, helping children build confidence and independence. Moreover, research suggests that fathers are particularly influential in shaping their children’s social skills and career aspirations, reinforcing the importance of a two-parent dynamic.Despite these well-documented benefits, the family court system continues to favor maternal custody, often relegating fathers to secondary roles or limited visitation schedules. This outdated bias disregards the best interests of the child and reinforces an unjust system that undervalues paternal contributions. If the true goal of family court is to act in the child’s best interest, then it must uphold the importance of fathers, ensuring that custody and parenting arrangements reflect the vital role they play in their children’s lives.

Website Focus:

• We seem to not treat men as human beings with feelings and deep emotions: “False Accusations, Shattered Lives”: This could be a central theme, highlighting the emotional, financial, and social devastation men face the moment a false accusation is made.  Many men never recover.  Many men never make it to court.  Many men do not survive suicide, addiction, homelessness.
• Stories of Injustice: Feature testimonials from men who have experienced false accusations and the resulting consequences. Anonymity should be protected.
• The Incentive to Lie: Expose the potential motivations behind false accusations, such as gaining leverage in custody battles, financial gain, or revenge.
• Lack of Due Process: Emphasize the challenges men face in defending themselves against accusations, particularly in a system that may presume guilt.
• The Impact on Children: Discuss the negative effects on children who are caught in the middle of these battles, including emotional trauma and alienation from their fathers.
• Legal Resources and Support: Provide links to lawyers specializing in family law and resources for men facing these situations, including support groups.
• Call to Action: Encourage visitors to contact their representatives, sign petitions, and support organizations working to reform family court.

Important Considerations:

• Addressing Legitimate Concerns: It’s crucial to acknowledge that genuine cases of domestic violence and child abuse exist. The focus should be on preventing false accusations, not silencing legitimate victims.
• Avoiding Misinterpretation: The language used must be carefully crafted to avoid the perception of minimizing violence against women or children.
• Collaboration and Advocacy: Building coalitions with other advocacy groups and legal professionals is essential for effective change.

The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was enshrined in the Bill of Rights to protect the fundamental liberties of individuals accused of crimes, ensuring a fair and public trial by an impartial jury. However, while courts and prosecutors claim to follow the letter of the law, they often disregard its spirit by coercing defendants—many of whom have proclaimed their innocence—into accepting plea deals under duress. This practice subverts the very essence of justice and stands in direct contradiction to the foundational principles upon which the Bill of Rights was established.

Patrick Henry, one of the most vocal advocates for individual liberty, was instrumental in demanding the addition of the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. He feared that without explicit protections, the federal government would trample on the rights of the accused and concentrate power in ways that could lead to tyranny. His concerns were well-founded, and the Sixth Amendment was crafted to ensure that those accused of crimes would not be railroaded by an oppressive judicial system. Henry’s insistence on these protections was driven by his deep-seated belief in the necessity of a fair trial as a safeguard against government overreach and wrongful convictions.

I have compassion for the court system and recognize that it is overwhelmed by the sheer volume of cases it must process. This overload often drives courts and prosecutors to resort to pressure tactics as a means of alleviating their burden. However, this does not change the fact that in doing so, they subvert justice and the spirit of the Sixth Amendment. The end result is a significantly higher conviction rate than if defendants were not pressured into accepting plea deals. Ironically, this contributes to the very problem of overcrowded prisons, which the justice system then complains about.

Just as the invocation of Miranda rights immediately halts police interrogations and necessitates the presence of an attorney, so too should a defendant’s assertion of innocence immediately end any attempts to extract a plea agreement. Instead, the courts should be obligated to provide them with the trial by jury that the Sixth Amendment guarantees. To do otherwise allows the justice system to prioritize expediency over truth, undermining the fundamental liberties that Patrick Henry and the other Founders fought to enshrine. The time has come to restore integrity to the judicial process by ensuring that the right to a fair trial is not just a hollow promise, but a reality for all who seek justice.

• Fight Against Government Tyranny: We are committed to fighting against all forms of government tyranny, whether it comes from the overregulation of the left, which can sometimes infringe upon men’s pursuit of happiness and liberty, for example under the guise of environmental protection, even when such regulations create arbitrary rules even when they accomplish little actual good and destroy families and disregard the fundamental baseline level of care owed to human beings, or the underregulation of the right, as in the case of the corruption of banks during the Great Recession, healthcare companies, insurance companies, the lead poisoning of children by the lead industry, and other industries which harm people for profit and face no consequences.  And this especially includes the billion $ industry of family law. We believe in responsible regulation that protects both individual liberty and the well-being of society, particularly its most vulnerable members. We seek a balance that reflects the true spirit of good governance. Furthermore, we will fight to hold governments accountable for their actions and demand restitution for crimes committed against men and families. We will challenge the practice of blaming individual men for a series of cascading events which actually have their roots in some form of government or corporate corruption or poorly designed societal systems and norms. Men are too often scapegoated for systemic failures, and we will fight to expose the true sources of these problems, ensuring that the spirit of accountability prevails. We will not accept a system where the letter of the law is followed while love, justice, truth, and liberty – the very spirit of the law – are ignored.

 We will fight to pass legislation to Lift Men Up Not Push Them Down.
