Petition update, 15 March 2007

More details from petition creator

This government is accelerating the decline of the role of the father in the care of their children.

I believe that fathers have an equal role to play. Please join me by signing this petition to campaign for equality of rights for Fathers with respect to access, care and upbringing of their children.
