Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
A couple of months ago, we urged residents of North Carolina's 11th
Congressional District to contact Congressman Heath Shuler about the
Parental Rights Amendment, but we were unsuccessful in getting him
on-board. Something has changed, however, that we believe warrants a
second attempt.
Yesterday, we released a legal analysis called The UN Convention on
the Rights of the Child: The Impact on Private Gun Ownership in
America. In it, we demonstrate that gun ownership in America will be
threatened if we ratify that treaty. By contrast, the Parental Rights
Amendment will permanently prevent ratification of that treaty.
Because Rep. Shuler is a strong supporter of our Second Amendment
rights, we would like to ask you to call this paper to his attention
and urge him again to sign on as a cosponsor of the Parental Rights
Amendment. His voice as an additional Democrat on our sponsors list
would be very helpful. (We are seeking the support of Rep. Boren of
Oklahoma, as well.)
Please, before you close this email or move on to something else, we
urge you to take just a moment to email or call Rep. Shuler's office
and let him know that you support the Parental Rights Amendment, and
that you would urge him to become a sponsor of HJ Res 42. Explain
that, based on this article at ParentalRights.org, the Amendment will
protect our gun rights from this dangerous treaty, and urge him to
check that out. (You will also need to give your name and address so
his staff can confirm that you are a constituent.)
Rep. Shuler's Washington office can be reached at (202) 225-6401. To
send him an email, you need to use his web form, located here:
www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6551 .
Thank you so much for taking just a moment out of your day to make a
quick call or send a brief email that could radically improve our
chances of passing the Parental Rights Amendment in the House!
Sincerely,
Michael P. Farris
HSLDA Chairman
