I don’t care about the other beliefs or ideas of this organization or Michael Farris, as to whether or not I agree with every religious or political view he has, so please don’t ‘warn me’ about him and his organization. THIS is important. Our President has made it a top priority to take away parental rights in some parts of our government. Period. He and many others want to GIVE our rights as a sovereign nation to the UN. THAT is what the CRC does.

Whether you believe it or not, it does. I have been researching this ‘treaty’ for several years now, and if what happened in the past month in the UK and is still occurring with their CRC and parents’ rights doesn’t prove why this would be legislated, then I hope we don’t have to prove it out in the US for you to believe it.

ANY government law that takes away your rights as a parent, based on “what’s best for all” or whatever reason, is TAKING AWAY YOUR FREEDOM.

They keep bringing up Somalia. As if the US has the same reasons as Somalia for not ratifying it. That is just propaganda to make you feel that if you don’t agree with the CRC, then you are as bad as those child abusers in Somalia. No. Somalia’s reasons for not ratifying have no bearing on our country or its laws, intentions and freedoms.

If our government and the public school officials are worried about the abusive parents in this country, then they ought to deal with them properly and teach some good old VALUES to the children in the schools so they grow up to become adults who VALUE LIFE and treat children WELL. Don’t take away the freedoms of the good parents because you aren’t teaching many of those in your own charge to be good citizens.

THAT is not what this country is about.

However…. if you all recall, Senator Obama ran a campaign of “Let’s all share the wealth.” In other words, even if you didn’t work for it, YOU DESERVE TO NOT BE POOR. Really? Well, maybe Matt should quit his TWO JOBS, and we should “be poor” and just scam off of the guy who is making more anyway. I just don’t think so. THAT is wrong. Sounds like stealing to me.

Anyway, the CRC is going to go up to be ratified again. Mr. Farris has some words on that below. Please take time to read them.

Dear Friend of Parental Rights,

Monday in a Harlem middle school, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told a group of 120 students that administration officials are actively discussing “when and how it might be possible to join”  (that is, ratify) the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).  As before, she also communicated what a disgrace it is that the U.S. would stand with only Somalia against such a widely-accepted treaty.

This is the first direct public statement by the Obama administration that it will seek ratification of the UN CRC.

In my 30 years of political involvement, I have learned to recognize this as what is called a “trial balloon.” Like in World War I trench warfare, our opponents have “sent up a balloon” to see if it will draw fire. If things remain quiet, they will proceed with their plans to push for ratification of the CRC in the U.S. Senate.

To discourage them from doing so, we need to make sure that our voices are heard with unmistakable clarity.  We must let the Obama administration know that we oppose this anti-family, anti-American treaty.

Here’s what we need you all to do:

1.      Call the White House comments line at 202-456-1111. Tell them you heard the administration wants to ratify the CRC, and you strongly oppose this giving away of U.S. sovereignty to the UN. Also keep in mind that this treaty gives the government jurisdiction to override any decision made by any parent if the government thinks that a better decision can be made—even if there is no proof of any harm.

2.      Call Ambassador Susan Rice’s office at the United Nations. Tell her that you want her to represent the United States to the world rather than trying to get the United States to go along with international law initiated by the UN.  Her office number is 212-415-4000.

3.      Contact your Senators and urge them to oppose ratification of this treaty. (Find your Senators’ contact information by typing your zip code into the box here.) Ask them also to defeat it once and for all by cosponsoring SJRes 16 – the Parental Rights Amendment.

It is very important that we speak up right now.  Please call before you close this email!

Sincerely,

Michael Farris

You might ask me why would I advertise for Cindy Rushton and endorse her online conferences when there are so many others out there?

To be honest, I know several of the coordinators of other conferences personally or have known them online personally. I also know Cindy personally, and I know her integrity is true. She has been in this business a long time and endorses the best speakers you will hear. All I can do is to encourage you to spend your time wisely and attend the Ultimate Home school Expo 2009 and her complimentary Preview Chats with these awesome and encouraging speakers.

And, while I have you here, be sure to go over to my friend SarahMae’s blog and enter to win some of her prizes for her Like A Warm Cup of Coffee First Blogoversary!

Or does it look like a THREAT?
Maybe a bit of rubbing parents’ noses in it, because:
“You can’t do anything about it!“?

Proverbs 22: 6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This man is a product of the training he received as he grew up and his parents beliefs or lack thereof.

And they want to revoke home school rights from parents through the UNCRC.

I have even read online of other individuals/websites calling for parents of home schooled children to be jailed for emotional abuse. *sigh*

I am proud that in America I can teach my theology to my own children for at least a little time yet.

Deuteronomy 6:1-7
1Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

My answer to the question,

“Who is teaching your children?” is simple:

I AM!

As the responsible parents who are not relying on the government to supply all of our needs, that includes government schools, lunch programs, after-school programs, teacher pensions, etc. We are teaching our children to be productive citizens in the United States of America without all of the interference of social climbing, drugs, greediness, gangs, and children who don’t want to learn.

What is your answer?
