====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== January 7, 2008 New Hampshire--Action Needed to Protect Parental Rights Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, New Hampshire representatives and friends of New Hampshire Homeschoolers, Daniel Itse, Paul Ingbretson and Dudley Dumaine are sponsoring a state constitutional amendment to protect parental rights. If passed, CACR23 would allow New Hampshire voters to decide whether their Constitution should be amended to include the following: "The State shall not abridge the right, role, or responsibility of parents to control the welfare and education of their children." The House Children and Family Law Committee is currently considering the measure, and a public hearing on it is scheduled for this Wednesday, January 9, 2008. It is important that as many parental rights supporters as possible attend this hearing and express their views. ACTION REQUESTED Attend the public hearing on Wednesday, January 9, 2008, at 1 p.m. in Legislative Office Building 206 and express your support for CACR23. If you are unable to attend the hearing, please call or email members of the Children and Family Law Committee, and in your own words, give them the following message: "Please support CACR23. The right of parents to direct their children's education and upbringing is being threatened on many fronts, and a constitutional amendment will help preserve it."

Jane Johnson (603) 352-4057 jane.johnson@leg.state.nh.us BACKGROUND Your right to homeschool rests on the freedom to direct the education and upbringing of your children. Unfortunately, this freedom is under attack from multiple sources, particularly international law, and only a federal constitutional amendment will ensure that the courts of our nation protect the fundamental right of parents to raise their children. And only a constitutional amendment will override international law that seeks to undermine the parental role. We believe that the only complete solution to the danger confronting the child-parent relationship is a federal Parental Rights Amendment, which will place current Supreme Court doctrine protecting parental rights into the explicit text of the Constitution. HSLDA is partnering with parentalrights.org in support of this amendment. To learn more about protecting parental rights, and to sign the parental rights petition, please visit www.parentalrights.org. Thank you for your support! Very truly yours, Michael P. Donnelly, Esq. HSLDA Staff Attorney ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Remember the last time you wrote a term paper?
