March 16, 2007 (Press Release) --
Susan Borovich, Director of the St. Clair County Friend of the Court, wants to make you think that she is helping fathers by promoting a program that forces specific performance under a court order as a result of an accruing debt, or risk sitting in jail. Other Michigan programs abridge similar individual liberties by forcing you to use government programs like Michigan Works for a number of hours per week or else you go to jail if you are unemployed and cannot cure arrearages on debt.
Although I appreciate the fact that Ms. Borovich acknowledged a few good points that have been made by people trapped by the Title IV-D Welfare system for years, the reality is that this government employee is still promoting the slave trade and Michigan is still abridging protected liberties by its operation of the Title IV-D Welfare program, through the judicial agency known as the Friend of the Court.
Ms. Borovich states: "The truth is that, more often than not, a parent who has fallen behind in support payments is not a "deadbeat" - he or she is simply "dead broke." Her answer is to force individuals into government programs, without pay, or risk sitting in a jail cell for their inability to keep up with debt that by Ms. Borovich's own admission is more often than not due to an individual being "dead broke."
Ms. Borovich then turns around and promotes the St. Clair Jail Alternative Program that: "direct non-paying parents toward jobs and the ability to pay regular child support." People are forced to either work for free for the County and participate in Michigan Works without compensation or risk sitting in jail and further abusive legal proceedings in the Family Court system, by the Court's own employee known as the "Friend of the Court."
For those of you unfamiliar with the Constitution, the document that restricts governmental powers, there was an Amendment that completed Ratification on December 6, 1865. Under US Const. Amendment 13 Sec. 1 "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Either Michigan isn't part of the United States, or Michigan and other states are trying to take more authority than what they actually have.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. Kozminski (1988), has defined involuntary servitude as "compulsory service by the use of physical restraint or injury, or by the use or threat of coercion through legal process." Essentially the Jail Alternative Program in St. Clair County, as well as the many court orders forcing individuals to participate in government welfare programs without compensation because there exists a civil debt or other civil judgment, is nothing more than a return to the slave trade and indentured servitude that was outlawed just a mere 142 years ago.
