PHILADELPHIA, PA.  -- 22 JULY 2005 -<>  Men – especially Men who are Fathers – throughout our global village held their collective breaths when Mr. Michael Galluzzo, acting as his own lawyer, asked the Federal District Court in Dayton, Ohio to decide if Ohio state law infringed upon a parent’s – in this case – a Father’s freedom and right to raise his children without interference from the state.  And Men – especially Men who are Fathers – collectively exhaled when Federal Magistrate Michael Merz decided that the question raised by Mr. Galluzzo was a federal question and one that the federal court had to answer.   The federal complaint that Galluzzo filed has become a model for other Fathers to utilize in other states to challenge state custody laws. As a result, he has become an internationally recognized Champion of Father’s Rights.

So, what prompted Mr. Galluzzo to make this bold move?

          “At some point in your life, you have to decide whether or not you are going to sacrifice all for what is right or surrender to the system.  For me the choice was simple.  They had taken my children, my money, my livelihood, and they were taking my freedom!  I had no choice but to fight back!,” declared Galluzzo who talks openly about his case and his future in the Legacy/Summer 2005 issue of IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® FORUM FOR AND ABOUT THE FATHERS OF THE WORLD which is scheduled for release beginning on 31 July 2005.
