Political Post Follows

IF you don't want to read anything political, then please skip this post and move along. If you are not interested, that is fine.

This touches me personally as many of you know from reading my site. The following is a message from the site ParentalRights.org. I want to pass this message along to you as many of my readers have children or hope to have children some day. Please read this and educate your self further by visiting the site parentalrights.org. We must stand together and making a stand, or just being aware of this. Here it is:

The Message
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.
