  You are correct of course, although it pains me to think that Boxer (whom I
consider far more anti-male) has the "long seat".

  In any event, now is the time for all good men to get involved in finding
and actively supporting political platforms and candidates which support the
male agenda.  Such a platform would favor enforced visitation rights,
fair assesment of child support, equal rights to custody, stiffer evidentiary
rules for abuse and sexual assault crimes, and stiff prison
sentances and loss of parental rights for people who bring false sexual
allegations against their spouses. Having social services funding
be more gender balanced would be nice as well. (In LA, 90% of the
homeless are men, but 100% of the homeless shelters are for women only).

  Start surveying the likely candidates. Start writing letters!
Get active! Involve your friends. Publish a newsletter!

  Everyone always talks about "grass roots" movements, well I have one to
offer. It's called VINE, and stands for

Voting
Is
Not
Enough.

  That translates as GET INVOLVED.

  The reason the feminists were able to push through such abusive and unfair
laws is that they organized politically. The politicians who voted in
biased and unfair family laws didn't necessarily believe them. They just hard
the feminist poilitical movement offer to trade votes for complacency. Who
can blame the senators (Joseph Biden among them) for pandering to where the
votes appeared to cluster?

  Well, now it's our turn. Women may outnumber men in the population, but 
only 47% of them showed up at the polls.  It will take only a small 
amount of activism to create a male voting majority which will 
unseat Boxer-esque anti-male politicians.

  So, get involved and lay the groundwork right now! Two years is not that 
far away. Now is the time to let the politicans know, both incumbant and
aspiring, that the climate has changed, and that you, as a voter,
are no longer going to sit quietly and "take it like a man".  :)
