A Parental Rights Rally

Supporting the Parental Rights Amendment is a conviction that many friends of mine share. The Kincell family hosted a rally meant to inform about the issue and strengthen this conviction.

In my humble opinion, it went really well!

Local politicians came and spoke regarding the issue...

And Will Estrada gave an excellent lecture about the threats to parental rights, what we can do, and the importance of a parental rights amendment. For more information, see http://parentalrights.org/.

 It was great to see so many friends and new faces.

Especially, kids and young teens. I'm so grateful that they are interested in this issue!

Even though we were busy, we did find time to squeeze in a little lunch.

Pizza, anyone?

All in all, a productive afternoon.

More Parental Rights...

Once again, some friends and I visited a local college campus to collect signatures for the Parental Rights Amendment petition. We collected over 100 signatures in about 2 hours. Praise God!

CAP Day

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to lobby for homeschooling with HSLDA. It was a fantastic experience! God has blessed our nation so very much; we can visit our leaders and speak with them about the law of our land.

Armed with a new statistical, homeschool study by Dr. Ray, the Kincell family and I went to several offices and met with several staffers. It was a unique experience; I loved meeting people from all over the country and representing homeschooling to them.

Lobbying on behalf of homeschooling and parental rights is a great privilege and responsibility. I confess that I was quite nervous, but with the help of my friends, I was never far off course. With some practice (and I plan on going again), I could become quite familiar and comfortable! And I encourage all of you to speak to your representatives at the local, state, and federal level. Liberty once lost is hard to regain. It is our duty to provide for our children (or future children), and this includes freedoms.

Petitioning -- The Parental Rights Amendment

Being politically active requires sacrifice. BUT, it is worth every moment. As Daniel Webster once said, "God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." Well said, Mr. Webster; I couldn't agree more...

With this in mind -- and armed to the teeth with information --, some friends and I stood in the "Free speech" zone at the Mountainlair. We petitioned passer-byes to protect US sovereignty and to protect parental rights. With clipboards, pamphlets, and fact sheets, we tried to collect signatures to send to our representatives.

It amazed me how many students were ignorant not only about the UNCRC and the danger it represents, but also they were ignorant of what sovereignty is!

May God correct the ignorance in our nation. May He be pleased to use my feeble efforts in the process.

Parents & Children

While watching something on Hulu, I came across a Sesame Street commercial with First Lady Michelle Obama. At the end of the commercial, Mrs. Obama addressed parents saying, "Because you are your child's best role model."

WOW! Does there seem to be a disconnect between this statement and her support of the UNCRC?

God gave children to parents. Not to the government. Parents are supposed to be the example of godly living -- pointing their children to Christ.




More on this later....
