Lighthouse Beams

All –

If you think we cannot make a difference, look at what we did in Jefferson City on May 14th. Over 3000 people made their voices heard and changed the law, on less than 24 hours notice. You responded, God delivered, and Mo’s Governor signed SB 291 yesterday (July 13th). He signed SB 47 & 232 (pro-homeschool bills) earlier.

We are a force to be reckoned with, if we make our voices heard. Get the word out, MARK YOUR Calendars (July 21-23), research parentalrights.org so you can make informed arguments when you call, and LET’S SHUT DOWN THE SWITCH BOARD AGAIN!!! Your calls forced the UN Ambassador’s office to unplug the phone over the UN CRoC, so they could ignore you. Your congressional reps won’t be able to do that. Call their DC and local offices. Make our voice heard.

This is THE fight for the hearts and minds of our children, given in trust to us by God. On that glorious day, I will have plenty of sins for Him to forgive, but accepting my responsibility for my children will not be one of them.

Because parental rights are the heart of home education, FHE is an Allied Organization with ParentalRights.org.

Pass this on to all of our home-school and pro-family friends. The UN Convention of the Rights of the Child is anti-family, anti-God, and anti-American. The very few points in the Treaty that are helpful to children are already US Law and State Law. The bad parts aren’t, but will become US Law if the UN CRoC is ratified by Congress, and signed by a legitimate Presidential signature. Our best hope is a pre-emptive Amendment to the US Constitution.

Prepare (with info), Pray (putting on the full armor of God), Phone. July 21-23 … do NOT be discouraged if line is busy, keep trying…

Remember the 3 P’s – Prepare, Pray, Phone. July 21-23. The life of our Nation depends on you.

In Christ’s Service to Home Educators,

Brad

Dear Missouri Supporter,

It’s time to get more cosponsors for the Parental Rights Amendment! In order to pass the Parental Rights Amendment we need bipartisan support from those in Congress, and we are planning a Cosponsor Drive for Tuesday, July 21, through Thursday, July 23. In this nationwide effort to get support for the Parental Rights Amendment we will be calling all members of the U.S. House and Senate who are not already cosponsors. If your U.S. Representative and Senators are not cosponsors, we need you to call them during our three-day Cosponsor Drive.

U.S. Representatives who are not cosponsors of the Parental Rights Amendment:

Representative William Lacy Clay, Jr. (MO-1) Democrat – 202-225-2406

Representative Russ Carnahan (MO-3) Democrat – 202-225-2671

Representative Ike Skelton (MO-4) Democrat – 202-225-2876

Representative Emanuel Cleaver (MO-5) Democrat – 202-225-4535

Representative Jo Ann Emerson (MO-8) – 202-225-4404

Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-9) – 202-225-2956

If any of these is your Representative, we need you to call their office sometime during our three-day Cosponsor Drive and urge them to cosponsor H.J.Res. 42, the Parental Rights Amendment in the House (find your Representative by typing your zip code into the box here.) We are especially targeting Democrats, since so few of that party have agreed to cosponsor the Amendment so far.

If your Representative is not listed above, send an email thanking them for cosponsoring the Parental Rights Amendment. Thanking those who cosponsor lets them know we appreciate their support. To view the list of current cosponsors, click here.

The Parental Rights Amendment was also introduced in the U.S. Senate this past May by Senator DeMint, and it’s time to get Senate cosponsors! Call your Senators and urge them to cosponsor S.J.Res.16, the Parental Rights Amendment, in the Senate.

Senator Kit Bond – 202-224-5721

Senator Claire McCaskill – 202-224-6154

Thank you for your participation in this important Congressional Phone Campaign right before Congress adjourns for the summer. Senators and Representatives will soon return to their home districts for the August summer work period. ParentalRights.Org is organizing visits to local Congressional offices by 20 constituents with 1,000 activist signatures, to be scheduled during that time. A face-to-face group meeting with your Congressman is an extremely powerful and effective way to communicate clearly the message of the Parental Rights Amendment. If you would like to participate in these local meetings please contact Region 3 Grassroots Coordinator Jason Heki (jason@parentalrights.org).

I'm the wife of my best friend that God gave to me over 20+ years ago. We have been blessed with 3 children, James (by adoption); Abigail & Milton (special needs child) and our service dog, Suzy. I have been blessed to be able to homeschool since 1997 and be the co-director with my husband, Michael, of the state wide Christian homeschool organization, MATCH since 1999. God has blessed us abundantly.
