Please take a few moments to read this update as to the affects of our efforts last week to get more Congressional cosponsors for the Parental Rights Amendment. It was rather appalling to me to read in this summary these words, "Another office said they agree with the Amendment in principle, but would need to hear from a large number of constituents to overcome their hesitation to amend the Constitution."
What a disgrace!!!!!!! Our leaders are sitting in Washington D.C. KNOWING what the principles are but IGNORING them unless WE THE PEOPLE put pressure on them to do the right thing!!! Well I, for one, am willing to give them enough pressure until they DO the right thing instead of just sitting around only thinking about it. My goal here is to give you all enough information to make an informed decision about how YOU want to go about putting pressure on these people to save the family as we know it. They obviously don't have enough character to do the right thing on their own. Will you help me? PLEASE!!!!!
If you need more information before you can take an active part in the battle, then PLEASE go to parentalrights.org and read about how important this battle is. Ever since March of this year, we here have been pondering what we can do to help. I guess the most important thing, it seems to me, is to get the people informed about how the lack of the amendment will destroy the family unit as God designed it. That is NOT what I want for my children and grandchildren and I KNOW it is not what you want for yours. PLEASE help us now while there is time.
Michael Farris explained it like this. "If we would have gotten the people involved in the fight against homosexuality right away in the beginning, this thing never would have gotten out of hand. Well, the same thing is going to happen if we dilly dally around with the parental right's amendment. There will come a day where it is too late to stop the erosion of the family in America." You can hear Dr. Farris on video at the website too. I urge you seriously to take the time to listen to his thoughts on the matter!!!
PLEASE STUDY THIS TOPIC AND GET INVOLVED TODAY, DEAR FRIENDS, SO THAT WE NEED NOT LOOK INTO OUR CHILDREN'S AND GRANDCHILDREN'S FACES SOME DAY AND HAVE TO TELL THEM, "WE HAD A CHANCE TO SAVE THE FAMILY, BUT WE WERE TOO BUSY!!!!!!!"
Concerned,

First and Goal
Last week, we urged you to call Congress and to get your friends involved, and many of you have done that. We heard from one congressional office that by Thursday they were no longer taking names; they were just keeping a tally of how many phone calls they received about the Parental Rights Amendment. Another office said they agree with the Amendment in principle, but would need to hear from a large number of constituents to overcome their hesitation to amend the Constitution.
We have not seen new cosponsors added to the bills (H.J. Res. 42 and S.J. Res. 16) yet, but these and others are indications that we are very close to getting some crucial new cosponsors on board.
In football terms, this is "first and goal." That's when a team hasn't scored a touchdown yet, but they have gotten very close - and now it's time to seal the deal.
This week, we need to keep up the pressure so that we will see names added to the list of cosponsors. Just 3 or 4 Democrats are probably all we need to see many more from that party sign on - and we have reason to believe there are that many very close. That's why we're calling it "first and goal."
Now let's get that score! If you haven't already, check to see if your representatives are already cosponsors and get their contact information by clicking on your state at parentalrights.org/States. Then, call the Washington office of those who are not. Finally, forward this email or otherwise urge all your friends to call them, too.
If you are at work all day and can't get to our site for your congressman's and senators' contact information, feel free to call our office at 540-751-1200. We would be happy to look them up for you!
Through the media, we are only hearing about health care - and we should be hearing about that. But on Capitol Hill, they are hearing from us as well. And that has produced major progress this past week. Let us not grow weary now. A major score is in sight - let's make it happen this week!
