====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== New Jersey--Call Today to Stop Same-Sex Marriage Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: Please keep calling! The same-sex marriage bill, S. 1967, was changed slightly as it came out of committee. However, the amendments do nothing to address the fundamental problem that same-sex marriage threatens the rights of all parents by undermining Western Civilization's understanding of marriage--which is part of the bedrock upon which parental rights rest. The bill is still up for a vote tomorrow! ACTION REQUESTED Please call your senator immediately. Your message can be as simple as: "Please vote no on S. 1967, same-sex marriage. Protect one-man, one-woman marriage as the foundation of our society." Use our Legislative Toolbox at http://www.hslda.org/toolbox to find the name of your senator. If Senator Baroni is your senator, please be especially sure to call him. He could be a swing vote if he would listen to those who put him into office. Since this bill would affect everyone, it is not necessary to identify yourself as a homeschooler. BACKGROUND Politicians currently in office have killed bills that would let the people themselves vote on this vitally important issue. Your rights as a parent are not spelled out in the U.S. Constitution. Instead, they hinge on statements of the U.S. Supreme Court. But the Supreme Court has said that parental rights are based on "Western Civilization concepts of the family" (Troxel v. Granville). So if the Western Civilization concept of marriage--one man and one woman--is undermined, parental rights may be undermined with it. And the right to homeschool is only as strong as parental rights themselves. Thank you for standing with us for freedom! Scott A. Woodruff, Esq., HSLDA Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> "I saved my entire membership fee with one discount" "We've been a Liberty Mutual customer for over 12 years.
