In mid-April, the National Center learned that anti-family and children's rights groups had circulated to every Congressional office a one-inch thick packet opposing the Parental Rights and Responsibilities Act (PRRA). We responded with a packet of our own, containing several comprehensive legal papers and hundreds of letters from various organizations across the country, all supporting the PRRA. After over a month of work, the packets were ready. Our stalwart team of home schoolers in the Congressional Action Program (CAP) delivered the packets, coincidentally, on the anniversary of D-Day.
