As our nation confronts the worst financial crisis since the great depression, its American families are continuing to shoulder the brunt of the economic and social burden. This situation brings to fore the most vulnerable population of our future; abused and neglected children. Reportedly, “The economic downturn has forced more families and youth to lose their footing, falling downward into the spiral of homelessness, and jeopardizing children and youth’s educational success.” Our platform speaks to these needs for all American families and reflect our shared vision that local, state and federal course of action should support and preserve traditional family values .

Spotlight: Increased Enrollment of Homeless Students

• Analysis of recently released federal data shows that the number of homeless children and youth identified in public schools has increased for the second year in a row, and by 41% over the past two school years. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the number of homeless children and youth (preK-12) increased from 679,724 students in the 2006-2007 school years, to 956,914 students in the 2008-2009 school years. (See map on page 4 and state-by-state breakdown on page 5.) The growth in numbers of homeless students reported between 2006- 2007 and 2008-2009 occurred prior to the infusion of homeless education dollars from the ARRA stimulus fund. Therefore, the increase is not attributable to more federal dollars available to identify and enroll more homeless children.• The economic downturn was cited most frequently as the reason for increases in child and youth homelessness, followed by greater school and community awareness of homelessness, and the foreclosure crisis.

THE GOOD NEWS, is our legacies and life journeys are based on daily decisions. Decisions on based on information and preferences.

THE BAD NEWS, is much of what we hear is based on misinformation and distorted agendas. There is a travesty of what is taught in schools, portrayed in the media, and exemplified by those in positions of influence. The results:

• Divorce rates rising over 50%

• Over 40% chance intercity youth in jail

• Increased domestic violence

• Total lack of government trust

THE REALLY GOOD NEWS, is that the truth has a way of breaking through. Families Across America is to shift this influence in a fun and relatable way, demand greater truth and a more effectual direction for America.

Volunteer Campaign a HUGE success!

Families Across America (FAAI) view good citizenship as one way that good character plays out in society. As much as America values individual liberty, we are a society…a nation. And, our nation relies on unity among its people. Sadly, we have increasingly seen the “ungluing” of our society because, marriage and the family is becoming unglued. Some people are desperate for help.

And yet, while these problems do receive some attention from lawmakers and the culture shapers of the media, the real causes of these problems – a degeneration of traditional family morality and values – are often ignored. And, if the real problems aren’t correctly identified, the real solutions are not likely to be addressed.

Please join with us as we labor for change to preserve what traditional families stand for in America, and bring community renewal to rural and forgotten neighborhoods. “It’s a long term effort – an effort that requires a desire to persuade, not just to be heard; and a concern for the common good; not just ourselves; more importantly, a commitment to bring hope to hopeless lives, not just bureaucratic policy.” Families Across America, Inc. advocate family wellness and educational guidance for building strong families.

Mentoring –volunteer trainers exemplify positive motivation inspired by time-tested character-building principles.

Facilitating – provides guidance to assess specific resources with suitable contributors for family crisis management.

Counseling – identifies family dysfunctions and address fact-finding solutions.

Mentality of how media influence on family issues affects your child.

Training –retired and certified professionals participating in “Share-A-Skill” activities that develop proper self-esteem, financial independence, and strong family foundations for lifetime relationships.

Media influence on voters and their perception of the issues.
