Are you ready to hand your kids over to be raised by bureaucrats and politicians? Do you want a judge to decide what’s best for the child you have nurtured and loved? Should the United Nations determine how you raise your children here in America? © istockphoto/ideabug If your answer is, “No,” it is time to take action. Only an amendment to the U.S. Constitution can halt these intrusions into your family – intrusions that are already taking place. Consider: The United States Supreme Court in 2000 left it to each individual judge to decide the scope of parental rights on a case-by-case basis, a fact often cited in lower courts since. (Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000))   In 2005 the Ninth Circuit determined that a fundamental parental right “does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door.” (Fields v. Palmdale, 427 F.3d 1197 (2005)) When you send your child into the public school, the courts say you “abandon [them] to the state.” (Parker v. Hurley, 474 F.Supp 2d 261 (D. Mass. 2007))   A number of courts have already cited the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child as binding on the U.S., and have applied its restrictions and “best interests of the child” principle to disrupt healthy families here in the United States.   Take Hope: The proposed Parental Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution can halt these erosions and protect our families from unnecessary government interference at every level. State constitutions and even federal laws can be overturned by the federal courts or by international treaties.  But in the text of the U.S. Constitution the time-honored tradition of parental rights can be preserved. Take Action: Doesn’t every child have the right to be raised and represented by parents who love them, and not by disconnected government bureaucrats? Visit ParentalRights.org today and sign the petition to support the Amendment and to halt the erosion of your parental rights. Protect your family now and all American children for generations to come. In a couple of weeks, we will contact you to call your congressman to support this Amendment in the U.S. House. Last Congress we gained 141 congressional cosponsors. With your help, we can double that number and permanently preserve your parental rights. Please today!
