When it comes to the upbringing of our children, it is the parents’ rights, not the government’s…
According to this recent WorldNetDaily article, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich. and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., will be re-introducing the Parental Rights Amendment again this Tuesday (3/31/09). Unlike the last time this was attempted, they will now have the backing of 66 Congressional Representatives. This opportunity is good news for homeschooling parents and all those who wish to keep the state from further interfering in matters best decided by the family. Please pray for their success this week. In addition, contact your Representatives and encourage him or her to support this amendment as well.
If you have not know the details of the proposed Constitutional Amendment, I have provided a copy of the draft text below for your review:
Considering how our government has been overextending its reach lately in matters of the economy, the timing for re-introduction of this Amendment could not be more appropriate. The time to act is now. To learn more about the movement to secure parental rights here in the United States and how you can offer your support and help, click on over to ParentalRights.org today.
