Parental Rights Amendment

As some of you are probably already aware, a Parental Rights Amendment is slated to be introduced into congress in the near future. Its purpose is to make clear in law that, "The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right."

The Parental Rights Amendment is largely a response to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), a disturbing piece of UN legislation that would give the government new legal authority to overrule parents' decisions about their children's upbringing and would require that all children be raised to respect the principles of the UN. The Convention would also bind the government to enforce a number of outrageous "rights" of children, such as "freedom to...receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds...through any other media of the child's choice." The UNCRC will likely be ratified by the United States, and even if not ratified, may be applied through the courts as "customary international law."

Without the Parental Rights Amendment, families would be at the mercy of international laws like the UNCRC, as well as the domestic threats posed by Big Government liberals. The Parental Rights Amendment formalizes a long held right of the American people to raise their families without undue government intrusion. More information about both the Parental Rights Amendment and the UNCRC is available at www.parentalrights.org. Please take a quick moment to call Representative Thompson at 202-225-3311. Tell him, "I know that a Parental Rights Amendment is about to be introduced into congress, and I want to encourage Mr. Thompson to support it when it is."

Thank you!

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. Coordinates Dem Budget Attack on GOP

◼ Schumer Coordinates Dem Budget Attack on GOP

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Democratic Senate leadership, got on a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning without realizing the reporters were already listening in. Schumer thought he was on a private line with four Democratic senators who were to talk with reporters about the current budget stalemate.

Schumer instructed the group, made up of Sens. Barbara Boxer of California, Tom Carper of Delaware, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, to tell reporters that the GOP is refusing to negotiate.

He told the group to make sure they label the GOP spending cuts as "extreme."

"I always use extreme, Schumer said. "That is what the caucus instructed me to use."

The four senators came on the call after Schumer abruptly went silent and followed Schumer's script closely.
