Parental Rights Action Request

It's Time! Please Call Today Today we are launching what we hope will be the largest call blitz yet, urging all U.S. House candidates (including incumbents) to pledge their support for the Parental Rights Amendment. If we are to be heard above the pre-election din and set ourselves up for victory in the spring, we need as many of you to participate as possible – and urge friends, family, and colleagues to join you! Here is what you need to do right now, before you close this email: 1. If he or she is seeking reelection and isn’t already a cosponsor, call your current Representative’s local office and ask him or her to cosponsor HJRes 42, the Parental Rights Amendment. 2. Call House candidates’ campaign offices and urge them to pledge their support for the Parental Rights Amendment in the next Congress. Tell them if they lost their copy of the pledge, ParentalRights.org would be happy to send them another one. Have them call us at 540-751-1200. 3. If you have a contact number for a third party candidate whose number is not included on our page already, email Ashley@parentalrights.org with that information. Where do I find the phone numbers? Just click on your state below, then scroll down to your district. Alabama Hawaii Massachusetts New Mexico South Dakota Alaska Idaho Michigan New York Tennessee Arizona Illinois Minnesota North Carolina Texas Arkansas Indiana Mississippi North Dakota Utah California Iowa Missouri Ohio Vermont Colorado Kansas Montana Oklahoma Virginia Connecticut Kentucky Nebraska Oregon Washington Delaware Louisiana Nevada Pennsylvania West Virginia Florida Maine New Hampshire Rhode Island Wisconsin Georgia Maryland New Jersey South Carolina Wyoming What do I say? Tell them you’ve seen the Zogby poll, and you are part of the 93% of Americans who agree with the traditional definition of fundamental parental rights. Tell them you intend to see the Parental Rights Amendment passed in the U.S. House next year, and that you want them to be part of that solution. We want sitting members to cosponsor HJRes 42 in this Congress and commit to cosponsoring the new HJResolution in January. We want challenger candidates to sign the pledge promising their support if they are elected. What about candidates I don't plan to vote for? The fact is, if they win they become your representative, regardless of their party affiliation. Our plan is to make sure that whoever wins your district, your next Congress member will support the Parental Rights Amendment. So please, call each candidate you can and let them know that if they end up representing you, you want them to stand up for families by protecting parental rights. Of course, if you don’t plan to vote for them, it would be a bad idea to tell them such when you make your request. Tell them instead that you want your next congressman to support parental rights, and if they want the job, they should side with the overwhelming majority of Americans. Thank you for participating!
