Dear Champion of Parental Rights,

This Thursday marks the 222nd anniversary of the U. S. Constitution. In celebration of Constitution Week, we have scheduled a major call-in blitz to Congress urging them to cosponsor the Parental Rights Amendment – and the time to call is now.

We also encourage you to get your friends to call. Urge everyone you know to call their congressman and senators throughout the week. Get started today, and maybe even call back in a few days, just to see if they’re listening. Let's make it so they have no choice!

You may have called during our last blitz in July. Since then, though, many of you have visited your congressman or senator's office and spoken directly with them or with their staff. Now they are more ready to listen, and it is vital that we all call them again. Here’s all we ask you to do:

1. Check our lists of House cosponsors and Senate cosponsors. If your representative is already a sponsor, don’t call them! Consider mailing them a message of thanks instead.

2. If your congressman or senator is not on our list, go to our States Watch page and click on your state to find their contact information.

3. Call your congressman and ask him to sign on to cosponsor H.J. Res. 42, the Parental Rights Amendment, to protect parental rights and American and state sovereignty.

4. Call your senators and urge them to cosponsor S.J. Res. 16, the Parental Rights Amendment, to protect parental rights and American and state sovereignty.

5. Call or email friends and family and urge them to get in on this campaign as well. Let’s make this a very busy week for the Capitol switchboard!

6. Consider volunteering time to our Get-Out-the-Call campaign to encourage even more people to call Congress this week. Email Eric Lansing for more information.

Volunteers have been working for weeks toward this campaign, visiting congressional offices and town halls to call attention to these vital rights. We must not let up now! Please call first, before you close this email! It will only take a minute to see that your voice is heard.

I tried to go to the parentrights.org website and didn't find it. There was a parentrights.net or .info...
I need to get up to speed on this ammendment before I make a phone call. Can someone give me a link to find more info on the content of the proposal?
Thanks
Teresa

here is a link to the website.

here is the draft of the amendment they are trying to get ratified.

DRAFT PARENTAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
FOR THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

Thank you!

i would also like to throw this article out there since this is in line with the way i feel about it.
can a constitutional amendment protect parental rights?

if this amendment is in response to the UN convention then we need to deal with our presence in the UN, not define, put limits on and give the government control over our parental rights.

Thank you again! That article answered some of my initial questions and is the exact reason that I research before I decide how to proceed.

I'm still checking into this particular ammendment, but I do have some concerns any time we are talking constitutional ammendment.

Often times violations of parental rights are carried out by individuals in schools or law enforcement officials and parents have little information about what those officials can and can't do. Infact the officers and administrators don't even have a clear understanding about the law... they just make a judgement call about what they personally think is the right decision.

We all need to get educated on our rights and parent our children with care and boldness.

"We all need to get educated on our rights and parent our children with care and boldness."

i totally and completely agree!!!!
