I have been setting up the video features for the 500 fathers campaign. It's not going as smoothly as I had hoped...welcome to web design. The issue is that this site is on a shared server and therefore I cannot access file converters on my server. What this means is that visitors will have to link to youtube videos and not be able to upload directly to this site.

This will all make sense to you once I write up and post an outline of the 500 fathers campaign

In the meantime, check out this video I found on youtube while testing the embed video feature. 

Hey everyone,

          I will be meeting up with Bob from the London CEPC group to go over a game plan for this site. We will also be working on getting some dates together for a free information seminar that I would like to hold at the London Public Library. I cant thank Rob enough for his involvement with this site and his dedication to the father's rights movement. 

I am putting out a call for volunteers for Not All Dads Are Deadbeats. Aside from my own court battle that I am going through and the ongoing maintenance of this site I also run a web design studio and am trying to get several other ventures up and running. I also teach part time at the local college and and comtemplating offering one-on-one web design training. Needless to say I am in a constant state of exhaustion and need help. I fear that the momentum of this site and therefore the movement in London and surrounding areas will stagnate without outside help. 

I am currently seeking people to help promote the site by means of submitting press releases, writing articles about fathers rights, finding links, articles and other content for use on the site. I am also seeking people to help out with campaigns and appearences such as the ones Ive put on at the London Central Library last week to hand out ads and answer questions. 

As the campaigns get underway I will need people to scout for places that father's can get together with out kids (ie - Not All Dads Are Deadbeats family days out). I will need people to help with the 500 fathers campaign (to be announced shortly). I will need people to print out ads and distribute them to everyone they can. I will need some serious MP letter writing happening etc.

This call is for men & women. I actually think that this movement needs more women to speak out since women benefit from equal parenting as well. 

If you can help with any of the aforementioned tasks please get in touch with me. 

Note - when I say I as in "I need some help" the reality is that WE need help. We being the fathers rights/equal parenting movement. More importantly children need your help to ensure they do not grow up fatherless. 

Thank you. I will be updating the site tomorrow night after my meeting with Bob.

Just another quick blog update here (Im having a very busy day today).

I've added crisis & distress resources to the site (in the resources section). If you are feeling depressed and/or entertaining the notion of doing something harmful to yourself over your situation please give one of the support numbers a call. Just remember that you are not alone. You have an army of proud & responsible fathers who stand behind you and support your courage and conviction. 

Stay strong.

Hey everyone,

           Im in a rush but I thought I would quickly update the blog. 

I will be working on a campaign called "500 fathers". Please stay tuned for more information.

I am also putting together a free fathers rights/equal parenting/parenting information session at the London Public Library. I will have more info. about this shortly. 

I am also working on setting up monthly days out with out kids. I will be contacting pools and entertainment complexes to see if they can give us some discounts (free is always nice). Its important to me that we are out with our children and even more important that we are all out together. Besides, it would be a fun day and does that really need justifying? :) 

Stay tuned.

I (Dave Flook) along with members from The Canadian Equal Parenting Council will be at the London Central Library from 12-3pm tomorrow (friday the 12th). We will be setting up a table in the mall area outside of the Library. We will be available to answer questions you may have. We strongly encourage father's who are fighting for access to their children to make time tomorrow to come down and see us. We also strongly encourage members from the media to come out and welcome all interview requests. 

We look forward to seeing you out tomorrow. Feel free to give me a buzz if you have any questions (519) 680-3932.

I would like to thank Lynn Martin / Lisa Lauzon at AM 800 CKLW for having me on their radio show today to talk about the website, fathers rights and equal parenting. 

You can listen live to AM 800 CKLW online by visiting this link. 

There were a lot of callers who where all in full support of the move towards equal parenting - both men and women. I enjoy hearing from mothers who realize that equal parenting will not only be beneficial to the father and their child(ren) but to the mother as well. The idea here is to unite people together so that relationships are not compromised by the "justice" system. 

I speak on behalf of all men when I say thank you to all the responsible mothers out there who understand the importance of equality. Your support shows that you have your children's best interests in mind and that you can rise above any issue that you and your ex might have.The studies show time and time again that your children have an exceedingly better chance at normal development when they have regualar, unhampered access to their fathers. 

I am positive that your children thank you as well. 

Dave Flook on the Lynn Martin Show out of Windsor to discuss Not All Dads Are Deadbeats/Fathers Rights/Equal Parenting.

Something I forgot to mention regarding jailing fathers for "willful" non-payment of support.

Why dont we jail mothers who "willfully" limit or refuse a father access to his child?

What are your views on that? Feel free to discuss this in the forums.
