To Help Inform You

ParentalRights.org provided the following message for us supporters to spread the word in hopes to inform others, as well as ask others for their show of concern and support. I hope you agree with me in the importance of this matter, especially as it flies in the face of one of the basic commandments to "Honor they father and thy mother."

A parent’s right to raise their children as they see fit is a time-honored American tradition, but today it is being threatened. The Supreme Court’s Troxel v. Granville decision in 2000 undermined a 75-year heritage of Constitutionally-protected, fundamental parental rights, which 8 of the 9 justices abandoned. At the same time, a growing body of international law fuels activist judges to legislate foreign standards from the American bench, while treaties such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child would subject parental decisions to government oversight and international review.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (MI-2) has proposed HJR-42, the Parental Rights Amendment, to stop the erosion of parental rights in American courts while simultaneously defending our laws from international invasion. Please, visit
parentalrights.org to learn more about the Amendment, and to join their email network by signing the petition to protect parental rights.
