New Mexico--Calls Needed TODAY to Stop Domestic Partnerships Dear HSLDA members and friends,
We are working with CAPE-NM and other family groups to defeat H.B. 9, the Domestic Partnership bill. Our goal is to together deliver hundreds, if not thousands, of phone calls to the Senate Judiciary Committee TODAY. We need every homeschooler and concerned citizen to call today. H.B. 9 is expected to be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Friday, February 1.
ACTION REQUESTED
Call each of the senators on SJC today and, in your own words, give them this message:
"Please vote no on H.B. 9. This bill elevates same-sex persons to that of married men and women. The rights and benefits can be obtained through private agreement and the state does not need to endorse such an agreement."
Members of the New Mexico Senate Judiciary Committee:
Chair Cisco McSorley, (505) 986-4485, cisco.mcsorley@nmlegis.gov Vice Chair Richard C. Martinez, (505) 986-4389, richard.martinez@nmlegis.gov William H. Payne, (505) 986-4276, william.payne@nmlegis.gov Rod Adair, (505) 986-4385, radair@dfn.com Lidio G. Rainaldi, (505) 986-4310 John T.L. Grubesic, (505) 986-4260, john.grubesic@nmlegis.gov Clinton D. Harden, (505) 986-4369, charden@theosogroup.com Kent L. Cravens, (505) 986-4391, klcravens@alphagraphics.com Linda M. Lopez, (505) 986-4737 Michael S. Sanchez, (505) 986-4727, senatormssanchez@aol.com
There is no need to identify yourself as a homeschooler.
BACKGROUND
Your right to homeschool rests on another freedom: the freedom to direct the education and upbringing of your children. Underlying your right to homeschool are parental rights, which are supported by the sanctity of marriage. Anything that undermines marriage may ultimately undermine parental rights and therefore threaten your freedom to homeschool.
Thank you for standing with us for freedom.
Sincerely,
Christopher J. Klicka HSLDA Senior Counsel

"When I called Liberty to find out what kind of discount we could get, they told us we would 10% off our car insurance and 5% off our homeowner's insurance. What we will save is more than double what it costs to join HSLDA. With one child getting his driver's license this year, the savings will be a real blessing!"
