It's your language. You use it every day. You should strive to master it. My late mother, a 27-year, graduate-level professor of English, embedded that in my brain once upon a time.

Headline Nooz
"....for he and his family to live." --Reporter, CNN Headline news, 11 February 2006**
It's "for him and his family to live" Mr. college educated reporter boy, him.
You should have used the object pronoun as opposed to the subject pronoun.
** I think the guys' name was Shawn Fields, but he didn't exactly pronounce his name clearly.

I recommend a crash course in grammar rules regarding the use of personal pronouns.
