Please read the letter below from the Honorable Dan Itse, Member of the House of Representatives. It concerns CACR 29, Parental Rights Amendment.
Over the past several years, the Legislature has failed to intervene to protect the rights of parents from State and local bureaucrats. For the last few terms there have been bills that would have required parents to opt in for classes and assemblies with questionable material. The Legislature failed to protect parental rights. New Hampshire passed a parental notification law which which met constitutional muster, but for the judicial bypass clause. Rather than copying the judicial bypass clause developed by Pennsylvania, the Legislature chose to repeal the parental notification law. This term, bills were introduced to make it more difficult to home school, despite no evidence that there was any problem. A bill was introduced that would have required parental consent for all medical procedures, the Legislature said no.
Natural rights are rights that exist without government. Parents have a natural right to raise their children according to their values. Constitutional Amendment Concurrent Resolution (CACR) 29 would protect parental rights. It would state simply that parents have a the natural right to control the health, education and welfare of their children.
CACR 29 has been recommended inexpedient-to-legislate (ITL) by the Children and Family Law Committee. The parental rights amendment is coming to the floor of the House on Wednesday, March 3. Now the battle is up to you. Are you willing to protect your parental rights? I need you to call (and write) your State Representatives and ask that they protect your parental rights!
Thank you.
Hon. Daniel C. Itse
