====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== October 27, 2006 Arizona -- Marriage Amendment on November 7 Ballot Dear HSLDA members and friends: The general election ballot on November 7, 2006, will include a very important proposed amendment to the Arizona Constitution. In Proposition 107 voters are asked to approve a constitutional amendment to recognize and define marriage only as a union between one man and one woman. Under Proposition 107 no other union would be valid and no legal status for unmarried persons shall be created or recognized by Arizona. How does defining marriage as being between one man and one woman potentially affect your right to homeschool your children? Here is what the Supreme Court said in 2000 in the case of Troxel v. Granville: "Our jurisprudence historically has reflected Western civilization concepts of the family as a unit with broad parental authority over minor children. Our cases have consistently followed that course." Thus, parental rights are based on "western civilization concepts of the family." When those concepts are no longer the legal definition of the family in this nation, then the foundation upon which parental rights are based is completely removed. Therefore, HSLDA will continue to fight against same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage attacks the traditions of the family in western civilization. This is an attack on parental rights. This is a battle the homeschooling movement cannot afford to lose. Please vote in favor of the amendment to define marriage in Arizona as between one man and one woman. It's important to every traditional family.

Schmidt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How many acorns can a chipmunk hold in its cheeks? We don't know! But we do know that gathering little by little enables ordinary folks to prepare for hard times. That principle is behind HSLDA's payment plan: by paying a month at a time, families can receive an annual HSLDA membership. Meanwhile, they can feel secure as they homeschool and focus on other priorities -- their children. Don't go nuts trying to pay for membership all at once. Choose one of our convenient payment plans.
