What Are the Most Important Issues Facing American Families Today?

Now more than ever, American families need to be strengthened if we are to survive as a nation. It Starts With the Family is dedicated to providing information, resources and support to any and all families in need.

Please take a minute to complete the poll at the right. You may remain anonymous and your answers will be kept confidential.

The Rebuilding of America begins April 6...

Hi Everyone!

My name is Melanie and my husband Doug and I have started the organization It Starts With the Family. The aim of our organization is simple - to strengthen the cornerstone of America - the family. We are not a political organization out to push the agenda of any particular candidate, nor are we a religious organization out to promote one particular religious denomination. We believe strongly in God, Country and Family.

Our corresponding website, http://www.startswiththefamily.org/, will launch on Monday April 6. The site will be an extension of the organization and will provide information and resources to families on issues they may be facing. The site will not only address the family unit as a whole, but also each individual member of the family in each "season" of life. We do not condone, we do not condemn, we inform. We believe that it is not our place to judge one for whatever situation they are facing in life. We only provide a way to help fix what is broken.

Please visit our site today. We have a temporary page posted with a guestbook. If there is something that your family is facing or having a difficult time with, write to us and let us know how we can help. Please be sure to sign our guestbook while you're there and mark your calendars - the Rebuilding of America begins April 6!
