New Mexico--Calls Needed Today to Stop Domestic Partnerships
Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
The Domestic Partnership Act is back after you helped defeat it last year. We need your help so we can defeat it again.
We are working with CAPE-NM and other family groups to defeat Senate Bill 12, the Domestic Partnership bill. Our goal is to together deliver hundreds, if not thousands, of phone calls to the Senate Public Affairs and Judiciary Committees TODAY. We need every homeschooler and concerned citizen to call today. S.B. 12 is expected to be heard in a joint committee meeting today, Wednesday, January 28th, at 2:30 p.m.
ACTION REQUESTED
Call each of the senators on the Senate committees today and, in your own words, give them this message:
"Please vote no on S.B. 12. 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."

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
