/24-7PressRelease/ - WESTPORT, CT, October 29, 2007 - Susan Titus Glascoff, a 40-year veteran of advocacy firmly believes that a presidential campaign debate to establish legal accountability is urgently needed. Glascoff, a recipient of the Cambridge Who's Who Professional of the Year award for her lifelong advocacy work, just attended the Courage in Journalism awards at the Waldorf Astoria. The four superb international recipients, who have all risked their lives, spoke of the necessity for exposing corruption, pedophilia, and other human rights abuses in a "world dissolving around them." The presenters began with their own courageous stories as part of their introductions.

But how can we lead without burnishing our own tarnished image? At a fundraising luncheon for domestic violence victims last May, Gloria Steinem said we have an addiction to dominance. Glascoff states that our legal system increasingly dominates virtually every aspect of our society - healthcare, business, government and environmental issues, with the most horrific impact hitting already dysfunctional families. Lawyers bill hourly and clients have no means of verifying accountability.

Entire families become impoverished, or more often, one spouse relative to the other - as U.S. census statistics prove. Worse is the statistic stating that abusers are twice as likely to seek custody. When they do, more than 70 percent of them receive it. In the ongoing Taub divorce case in Brooklyn, New York, the husband stole custody of the youngest son two years ago and the wife is borrowing food money even though he is a multi-millionaire. Pleas to higher judges have been ignored. It must become far easier to recuse judges, especially when there have been credible allegations of impropriety or worse - one example being the Taub case. Media coverage of the case has been far too neutral, and nonexistent of the general dysfunction of divorce courts.

Don't you think it would be eye-opening if some statistics could be prepared that gave some indication of the percent of our gross domestic product spent on lawsuits or protections endorsed for fear of suit? Glascoff is pleading with all the presenters: Gail Collins of The New York Times, Soledad O'Brien of CNN, Bob Woodruff of ABC News, and Carolyn Kennedy - especially since she is a director of the presidential campaign debates. She would like them to spread the word that we urgently need countrywide dialogue about how to establish more checks and balances on our legal system before the power of compounding, interrelated problems skyrockets.
