Fathers and the Political Process

Divorce and separation from one's children is a gut-wrenching and turbulent experience. Uprooted from the things that give stability to his life, the average newly divorced dad changes address more often, changes jobs more often, has run-ins with the law more often, and votes less often than he did before.

Facing an array of institutions, whose sole apparent purpose seems to be separating him from his family (and also his dollars), most divorced dads get an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, if not total helplessness.

Yet, in our democratic society, voting is where the power is.

Is it any wonder then, that the system continues to grind on, crushing dads, depriving children of their heritage?
