Happy Constitution Day!

Today is Constitution Day, commemorating September 17, 1787, when the U.S. Constitution was signed and sent to the States for ratification. After 238 years, the nation thus constituted, while far from perfect, is still standing, and remains the best hope for freedom and liberty in the world.

We still have a lot of work to do, of course. And that includes amending the Constitution to safeguard for all generations the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their minor children.

Toward that end, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) is reintroducing the Parental Rights Amendment to Congress later this week!

As I write this, the expected introduction date is Friday, September 19, which gives your congressman just one more day to sign on as an original cosponsor. If he or she wants to be included, they need to reach Worth Loving in Rep. Miller’s office by the end of the day on Thursday.

But original cosponsors are not the end of the push; they are only the beginning. By this time next week, the proposed Amendment will have a new bill number and will be open for adding even more cosponsors. I will update you next week with that information so you can share the number with your lawmakers and further encourage their support.

I thank all of you who took time out of your summer to talk to your lawmaker about the Parental Rights Amendment, and I encourage you to keep up the good work. Together, we will magnify our voice in Congress and bring the Amendment to a hearing to further the conversation.

I hope your Constitution Day today is a happy one, and I thank you for standing with us to protect children by empowering parents through the Parental Rights Amendment.
