A frightening and important warning to all parents! Another reason to be alert and aware!

There exists such a thing called the United Nations Child Rights Treaty. Sounds innocent enough (if you haven't caught on to the sinister agenda of the UN), but this treaty threatens the fabric of our inalienable rights- and,more specifically, the God-given rights of parents. The treaty itself has been ratified by every one of the participating United Nations members,excluding the United States and Somalia…until now.

In 1995, then United States President Bill Clinton sought to ratify the treaty, but, much like the Kyoto Protocol, the Senate squashed it, exclaiming its overreaching threat to American parents. Now, overly liberal president, overly liberal Congress- and the threat has manifested itself again. The Left claims they have 60 votes- albeit soft, to push through the ratification, but Parental Rights.org seeks to add a necessary Constitutional Amendment:

SECTION 1
The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.

SECTION 2
Neither the United States nor any state shall infringe upon this right without demonstrating that its governmental interest as applied to the person is of the highest order and not otherwise served.

SECTION 3
No treaty may be adopted nor shall any source of international law be employed to supersede, modify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this article.

According to parentalrights.org, here are 5 things you must know about the UN's Child Rights Treaty:

• The UN Child Rights Treaty Would Override Virually All U.S. Law: Our Constitution provides that treaties become part of the "supreme law of the land," overriding all inconsistent state laws and state constitutions. Since virtually all American law on families and children is state law, this UN treaty would be the supreme over the law made by your elected officials about every legal issue for your child.
• A UN Tribunal Would Hold America "Accountable" for Compliance: A committee of 18 "experts" has two critical powers: 1. The Committee issues official interpretations of the treaty. 2. It issues official determinations concerning compliance. We have seen what American courts do in "interpreting" the Constitution. When the UN gets to "interpret" a treaty, the legal rules can change according to the whims of the Committee. Do you want 18 "experts" from Uganda, Ghana, Syria, Algeria, Slovakia, Hungary, Egypt, Thailand, Tunisia, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Paraguay, Chile, Lithuania, Mauritius, Peru, and Switzerland deciding the rules for American families?
• This UN Treaty Gives the Government the Power to Override Any Decision You Make About Your Child: Under U.S. law, no government may override the decision of parents until proving they have harmed the child (abuse, neglect). Under the UN treaty the government could simply substitute its judgment for that of any parent if the government believed that its decision was "best" for the child.
• This UN Treaty Controls Where Your Child Goes to School, What Your Child May be Taught (including religion), How You Discipline Your Child, Medical Decisions, and Much More.
• SR 519 Urges the rejection of this treaty, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. 22 Senators have signed SR 519, showing that they believe that American parents should be trusted and that American laws should be made by Americans. You can check their website to see if your elected officials have yet signed on. www.parentalrights.org
