ParentalRights.org to Blitz Congress

Original link Added September 3, 2010

Please call this week and ask your U.S. senators and U.S. representative to support the Parental Rights Amendment. Support is growing for the amendment, and we now have 107 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, but we need your help to gain more co-sponsors as we continue to take our case to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Blitz Congress Today!

Congress has been very busy lately with health care reform and cap and trade. Soon, however, the Senators and Representatives will be heading back to their districts for a month away from D.C. Before they leave, we want to remind them to protect our parental rights.

That’s why we have designated today, tomorrow, and Thursday (July 21-23) as Congressional Blitz Days. Next month, many of you are planning visits to your Senators and Congressman while they’re in town, but we need all of you to soften them up before those visits!

This may also help us pick up some friendly votes in the Senate, where our efforts are just getting started. A few phone calls could possibly add three or four cosponsors in that chamber before their recess.

So here’s what we need you to do: Call your Congressman and Senators. Urge them to protect the time-honored principle of parental rights by voting for the Parental Rights Amendment – H.J. Res. 42 (House) and S.J. Res. 16 (Senate). Including parental rights in the Constitution will protect more than 80 years of Supreme Court precedent from judicial erosion or international law. Tell them to sign on as a cosponsor to help bring the bill to the floor. (Have them contact Rep. Hoekstra or Senator DeMint.)

You can find the contact information for your representatives by clicking here, and then choosing your state.

We urge you not to call Congressmen or Senators who are already cosponsoring the Amendment. (This will be designated on your state’s contact page.) Send them a “Thank you!” email, instead.

We have three blitz days to give your friends time to join us. So, please call now, and then forward this email to as many of your friends as you can – and ask them to pass it on!
