Greetings! As a listed County, State and/or higher
leader for UCRCoA, the largest online network of family rights activists
and organizations in America, I wanted to explain the very best - and easiest -
way for you to organize all the people in your own State into
full gear action, since basically everything is available and
ready for you, right now.
Social/Political Issues
> Cardinal Rule # 1: No matter who you are,
UCRCoA, or any other family rights group out
there, your issues involve legal litigation, federal constitutional guarantees,
and due process rights. I don't care what kind of family rights issue
is your main issue -- if it involves family rights, it surely involves law and legal actions, at one time or
another... Moreover, the Federal Government has built its buildings and
manned its various programs and services - including the federal court system -
where most of their cattle, er, I mean the American population, is actually
located at. You must organize in the same fashion, i.e.,
in some way reflecting a mirror image of the same current apparatus of what you
are most interested in challenging. This is Cardinal
Rule # 1 for creating any social/political change.
The political parties have known this for over 200
years. Their main core interest is getting the votes, so they organize in
a mirror image of where the voting happens, even down to the precinct
level. Both sides of the abortion issue organize in relation to wherever
the abortions are actually happening at, i.e, at the clinics. EndTheFed
activists organize and rally around where the Federal Reserve banks are located
at, and sometimes at their sub-bank locations. ...etc., etc.,
etc.
Accordingly, in order to
effectively organize the
family rights movement, you must setup "management coverage"
for the two kinds of general activity that are in the family rights
movement:
(a)
public events, like rallies, conferences, email and phone/fax blitzes, passing
news, and virtually everything else of sporadic and planned activities for the
different family rights issues out there, which necessarily includes using local
geography if talking about recruiting support and attendance for physical
events; and
(b),
coordinated legal defense/attack litigation over custodial rights and related
issues, whether helping individuals in their own cases, assisting small groups
in a localized legal challenge, or doing statewide or nationwide legal
challenges.
Precisely *because* these things involve legal
(court) issues regarding federal constitutional rights, federal due process
rights, federal caselaw, and *federal* so forth and so on, the very best way to effectively organize the family rights movement
within your own State is to organize in a mirror image of the
federal court system within your own State, i.e., geographically within your
State, according to the jurisdictional breakdown of the federal court system
there:
1. per "Districts", of which each State has either
just one District for the whole State (generally, the less populated
States..), or has two, three, or even up to four Districts that divide that
State up into distinct areas, and
2. per "Divisions", which are the sub-divisions of the
Districts. Each Division is a cluster of Counties. Typically, there
are 3-5 Divisions within each District of a State, but it varies per State
population, # of total counties, etc.
This is how UCRCoA was designed from the beginning - to provide natural,
effective management coverage of OUR leadership to the general American
population out there, by providing for leadership breakdown for both types of
general activity, i.e., the larger general public stuff (7 Regions > States), and
the more private legal stuff (11
Circuits > States).
At the State level and below, everything
is the same for all leadership and geographical coverage, public
stuff and legal stuff, and the only difference per State is just in the number
of State Directors needed to properly handle the size of population and number
of Counties (or "Boroughs" for Alaska, or "Parishes" for Louisiana) of
that particular State...
For example, Indiana has two (2) federal court
system "Districts", the Northern District of Indiana, and the Southern District
of Indiana. Each of the two Districts of Indiana just happens to have four
Divisions apiece, each headquartered in a larger city of that same cluster
of counties (of that Division area). A color-coded map of Indiana
illustrating this breakdown is online here, near the top of the file list in
that folder:
In the
Indiana example/map, the Northern District is represented
by green colors, and each of
the four Divisions there are shown by slightly different brownish colors, while
the Southern District is represented by blues. There are actually only four
Divisions within the Southern District, but the "Indianapolis Division" was so
large (26 counties), that it was decided to break it in half (shown by the two
lightest blue colors in the central and east-central areas of the state), for
better management purposes. So, for Indiana's 92 counties, covered by two
Districts with a total of eight (8) actual Divisions, I have split the largest
Division in half, for a total of nine (9) areas of state management over county
leaders and county groups of people, i.e., for nine (9) State Directors total
needed to handle Indiana effectively.
In that same online folder above, there are also a
few other already-finished color-coded breakdown maps that I painted, for Florida,
which has three main Districts, shown as Northern [Divisions in greens], Middle [Divisions in
blues], and Southern [Division in
reds], then another color-coded
map for Texas,
which I went ahead and painted simply because it is the State with the largest
number of counties (254!!) and has so many Divisions within its four different
main Districts, and which is why UCRCoA is designed for a total of about 27
State Directors needed for the entire State of Texas. Any of the States
that only have one District will still have more than one Division within that
single District, to divide down the clusters of Counties covered. However,
no matter how small a few given States might be (population / # counties), a
minimum of five (5) State Directors are strongly suggested, regardless.
Fortunately, most States have three to a dozen State Directors already,
now. But, some States still need more, and some state leaders are no
longer active enough, and can be replaced by those willing to step up and lead
their own Divisions of counties.
There's also another example in that same online
folder, for the State of Virginia, which was found directly on a Virginia
federal court website. I don't prefer the color-scheme, but it still
clearly shows the Districts and Divisions breakdown:
There very well may be lots of other pre-made
color-coded State maps out there, on different federal court
websites...
This is the goal of leadership
coverage for all of United Civil Rights Councils of America, you
see -- to have a STATE leader for each "Division" within the District(s) of the
federal court system within each State. Each of these
geographic-interested State Directors then is the manager of that Division's
cluster of counties, including that cluster of county team
leaders, and that collection of online county local Yahoo
groups, plus all the citizens on those same local county
groups.
You can find-get-download the corresponding county
map for YOUR State in that folder, too, and then "drop" colors into the clusters
of counties, to paint up your own State's color-coded map, using one of the two
free paint/image/graphics softwares that I have provided here for
you:
If you do create/paint your own State's color-coded
county map, please send me a copy, so that it can be uploaded into the StateMaps
folder for everyone else in your State, too.
Thanks!
Here's how to do it:
1. Go to the StateMaps folder online. Again, that
is here:
2. Click the STATENAME_map.html file that is
for your State.
3. Then you see the image for your State's
counties, so right-click on it, and save the image to
your computer.
4. Using one of the two free paint softwares
available, again, located here:
... you open up your State's county image map in
your paint software, choose your current paint color, and use the paint
"flood"/"bucket" tool to flood that color into that entire county, by clicking
once inside the borders of that county. Before "dropping" the first flood of
color into the very first county, do a one-time set of your
"Tolerance"/"Saturation"/"Threshold" percentage to about 30-40%, which is a good
saturation value for filling all the way into the inside edges of the borders
for each county, for these collection of county map images. For the
Paint.Net software, the "Tolerance" is right there already at the top, so just
slide it leftwards to around 35% or so... close enough. For the
PaintShopPro5 software, open the button/icon that is "Control Palette" and
adjust your percentage there for the flood/bucket tool.
5. Drop or "flood" the same color into each County
for that same cluster of a particular federal court Division.
6. Repeat as needed for all counties in that
particular Division, then switch color for the next Division/cluster - use
different shades of the SAME basic color (i.e., shades of green, or shades of
blue, etc.) for all of the Divisional clusters in any one main District.
Then, change to another set of color shades for another District's different
Divisions. See the examples already done, above linked, for general
guidance and coloring shade ideas.
7. In order to know WHICH counties are part of
which Division - i.e., to learn how your State is broken down into Districts and
Divisions, and to find lists or descriptions of county clusters used for
Divisions - start off by going to the U.S. Federal Courts main website, at http://www.uscourts.gov/courtlinks,
to see the entire USA map of Circuits, and click on your State. This will
give you a results page with links to all/most of the different kinds of federal
courts in your State. You are only interested in the regular District
courts, not the bankruptcy courts, federal defender offices, federal pre-trial
offices, or anything else - just the links to the main District courts, and
within each of those specific main District court websites (there is always at
least one main website for each main District of a state), you can find their
various "Divisional" offices and which counties belong to each
Division. Another set of counties maps, showing *only* the main
Districts of each State, one color per District, is available here http://www.fedstats.gov/mapstats/fjd for
your reference.
Additionally, the United States Code (Congress'
federal statutes) specifically defines all Districts and Divisions, including
each list or "cluster" of counties, per each clickable State, here:
and, you can jump directly to each main federal
District's website here:
You can see an overview of UCRCoA's
corresponding [ # leaders / # Districts / State ], here:
With color-coded maps available for a State,
showing shades of colors for each Division cluster of counties, the State
Directors can easily divide up their shared coverage -- command and control
-- of the entire State's set of county team leaders, online county groups,
and therefore, all of the people hanging out (now and future) on those online
county groups.
It doesn't matter whether or not we are talking
about organizing UCRCoA better, or organizing the entire family rights movement
effectively, or organizing some other family rights organization -- it's all the
same, because it's all family rights, which necessarily involves fighting legal
battles, in addition to whatever else. Therefore, the only/best way to
organize is through geographical breakdown of the federal court system's various
jurisdictional levels, which then covers both main general types of family
rights activities, public and legal, at the same time.. It's the only way
to fly.
Don't be shy - step right up, and lead this Nation
back to reality.
