DADS' purpose is to off-set the existing anti-male gender bias
in our public social service funding, and expenditures by providing an
opportunity of a tax deduction for your contributions supporting the
services that we offer FATHERS.
DADS' essence is a belief that FATHERS need an informational resource
concerning FATHERS rights and remedies during the stressful periods of
family breakup. Because states provide men and women no choice of
marriage contracts with their marriage license, DADS herewith pledges to
PRESERVE, PROTECT, and DEFEND the FATHER headed family, and to pass the
history of FATHERHOOD to subsequent generations.
[DADS' Quotes
"Being a parent is very challenging. If you have kids you know
that. I welcome that challenge and I look forward to it.
I will live vicariously through my kids as they play the game of
basketball. If they don't, I will support that. My wife and I will do the
same. We will do what we can as parents to make sure that happens.
That's the challenge that I have in front of me and I look forward to
it."
Michael Jordan, 1-13-99
"...there is one title I cherish a great deal more than
Congressman and that is the title of...Dad."
J.C. Watts, 8-13-96
"Fathers Rights are alive and well. Their ENFORCEMENT takes
effort, commitment, and eternal vigilance."
Bob Hirschfeld
"If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last."
Ronald Reagan
