Call Congress Now –
Blitz Coming
It’s time!
Today is the day to call your congressman and senators and urge them to support the Parental Rights Amendment!
Many of you signed up for these emails specifically so you would know when to call Congress and make your voice heard. The time is now—today through Wednesday, June 27!
That’s because our team will be going to D.C. on Wednesday, talking with members of Congress about the proposed Parental Rights Amendment. Your calls before then will make the difference between an office greeting us with, “You’re here about what, again?” and an office greeting us with, “Ah! We’ve been hearing about this. Tell us what it’s all about!”
Together—with your calls empowering our visits—we can open the eyes of more congressmen and senators to support this important effort to keep children safely where they belong: with the parents who love them.
What Do I Say?
1. You can find your lawmakers’ contact information here, or just call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and ask for your lawmaker by name. (You can also ask for your senators by state, even if you don’t remember their name.) They will connect you with your lawmaker’s office, where you will probably speak to a member of their staff.
2. Tell your congressman’s office something like this:
I’m calling to urge Congressman ____ to sign on as a cosponsor of H.J.Res. 121, the proposed Parental Rights Amendment, led by Rep. Hultgren of Illinois. Last week everyone was talking about the 2,000 children taken from their parents at the border since April. That’s how many children are taken by Child Protective Services in our country every three days. Something must be done to keep innocent families together without hurting the state’s ability to protect children from abuse. This Amendment strikes that balance and deserves your support.
3. Tell your senator’s office something very similar:
I’m calling to urge Senator ____ to sign on as a cosponsor of S.J.Res. 48, the proposed Parental Rights Amendment, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Last week everyone was talking about the 2,000 children taken from their parents at the border since April. That’s how many children are taken by Child Protective Services in our country every three days. Something must be done to keep innocent families together without hurting the state’s ability to protect children from abuse. This Amendment strikes that balance and deserves your support.
4. Share and donate. Share this email with your friends and urge them to call too.
And please take a moment if you are able to support our effort with your generous donation to the cause of parental rights. None of this is possible without donors just like you.
5. Watch your email on Thursday for a report on how it went, and follow along throughout the day Wednesday on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Thank you for standing with us by donating, by sharing, and by calling Congress today!
Sincerely,
Michael Ramey
Director of Communications & Research
