"'Top Ten List' and Campaign Action Photos"
August 14, 2003
Dear Friends,
Here's my gubernatorial campaign's first press release -- just off the press! (See the Top Ten List.)
And you can now access my Gubernatorial web site directly: www.warrenfarrell.com/gov. (Enjoy the Action Photos.)
Would you let me know if these make my purposes clear?
Exhausted in California, Warren

POLITICALLY INCORRECT AUTHOR ENTERS POLITICS Fathers' Issues Author Wants to be "Governor for Kids"
CARLSBAD, Calif. Dr. Warren Farrell has officially launched his candidacy for California Governor. His campaign will focus on reducing the economic costs of social neglect, such as when children lose their dads after divorce.
Dr. Farrell is running because he feels that although his recent research, in books such as Father and Child Reunion and Why Men Are The Way They Are, has uncovered findings that can alleviate the state's budget crisis, they are too politically incorrect for mainstream candidates to discuss. Thus the policy implications are overlooked. For example:
* why children raised by single dads do better than children raised by single moms; * why men now earn less money than women for the same work; * why our sons now do worse in school than our daughters…
In a normal election, no candidate would say these things. Thus no one would discover, for example, that children raised by single dads do better than children raised by single moms in part because both parents are more likely to be involved when the dads are the primary care taker than vice versa.
Dr. Farrell, with his M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science (UCLA; NYU), links his research to budgetary solutions for California. For example, a court system biased against dads after divorce leads to our daughters being far more likely to become unwed teenage moms, and to more rape, homicide, and suicide that in turn costs California billions in costs for prisons, courts and social services.
Dr. Farrell feels the pendulum has swung from a "women's crisis" to a "men's crisis" that is wasting our human resources just as the energy crisis wasted our natural resources.
What are the solutions? Here are Dr. Farrell's "Top Ten Social Solutions with Budget Saving Results" that transcend Democratic and Republican Party lines.
Top Ten Social Solutions that Create Financial Solutions
1. a men's birth control pill and a paternity fraud bill; 2. universal prenatal care; 3. listening skills taught from first grade, with simultaneous retraining of parents; 4. equal father and mother involvement, especially if there is divorce; 5. more male teachers; 6. stressing female empowerment rather than victim power 7. keeping taxes on businesses low 8. schools that are friendlier to boys; 9. a commission on the status of men and men's health 10. restraining the Government-as-Substitute-Husband
The Financial Times of London has selected Dr. Farrell as one of the world's top 100 "Thought Leaders." He has consulted with many Fortune 500 companies, as well as with NASA, the US Departments of Energy, Education and HUD. These proposals reflect Dr. Farrell's experience running his own business for a quarter century.
For all his provocative research, then, Warren Farrell sees himself not only as a bridge between Democrats and Republicans, but also between men and women. For most candidates those are pipe dreams, but in his case, listening to both sexes led Warren to three years on the Board of the National Organization for Women in New York City; to expert witness work that keeps children of divorce with both parents; and to his addressing both Governor Wilson's Conference on Fathers, and his Conference on Women. For Farrell, "Just as the tension between Democrats and Republicans provides checks and balances that create a better country, so the tension between men and women provides checks and balances that create a better family."
In this election, Dr. Farrell says, "the press has a chance to interview candidates who don't have to speak from both sides of our mouths. Like the Internet, this election is another gold rush, but finding the gold takes some panning."

Warren Farrell does *not* speak for me! He's running on the Rat ticket!
Most fatherhood/family activists are very conservative. We are *not* with Farrell! Please, call in to Glenn Glenn Sacks' radio show (California & Washington state - see URL below) and ask Glenn or Warren about Warren's agenda for "gun control," "gay rights," etc.! Ask about what the heck his number "3," in the "top ten list," "listening skills taught from first grade, with simultaneous retraining of parents" means.
See these behind the following URL!
http://warrenfarrell.com/gov/inthenews.htm
The radio show is tonight (Sunday) at 11:00pm, at 870 in Los Angeles on the AM dial!
Sacks' "His Side" call-in number is 1-866-870-KRLA
Thank you for calling in to Glenn's show to have him ask Warren (or to ask him yourself) about those three things. You'll do fathers and families a great deed.
Again, Farrell does not speak for us, and NCFM obviously does not know his stance on "gun control," "gay rights," "retraining of parents" and so forth!
http://warrenfarrell.com/gov/inthenews.htm
and that particular Web page is *not* going out to fathers' rights advocates. He's sent them a URL to a page with less information (only pro-father, pro-family, pseudo- conservative info).
BTW, conservative fatherhood advocates (mostly divorced and many married) put up a large vote for President Bush and might soon be a more identifiable resource (news sites just now started to get a lot of traffic, for example MensNewsDaily.com).
