NORTH COUNTY CONSERVATIVES TO MEET MONDAY, JANUARY 16TH
x
With the unexpected closing of Carrows Restaurant on December 4th, your North County Conservatives will begin to hold our meetings on the third Monday of the each month at Mike's BBQ at 1356 West Valley Parkway. Mike's BBQ is located in the Staples Center west of the I-15 freeway (go to
http://mikesbbq.net/ for directions, menu, etc.). This first meeting is very important, so please come prepared to learn how YOU can get involved to help "Make America Great Again" in the New Year.

As many of you may know, Escondido City Coucilwoman Marie Waldron plans to run for the California State Assembly. Part of the process of getting her elected is vetting by i Caucus (go to http://icaucus.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51&Itemid=81 for information on this important group). With this in mind, NCC needs YOU to come to this meeting to sign up to become part of this endorsement process. If you think Councilwoman Waldron has been doing a good job for Escondido, please realize how much more she could do for "We The People" of Escondido... in Sacramento!

Concerning Councilwoman Waldron's run for the Assembly, Eric Schaller, CA Regional Director of i Caucus, will be joining us to explain the vetting process and to solicit your participation. Needless to say, this should prove to be an exciting, working meeting for those in attendance.

Also joining us this month will be Peter Schultz from I Can Defend (go to http://www.icandefend.com/ for more information).

NOTE: If you plan to order dinner from the menu, please arrive by 5:15 as the meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. SHARP. Mike's has great barbecue, so do come early to enjoy the great food and to socialize with your fellow patriots.

Coming in February: Election Integrity Project training will be happening in Escondido (go to http://www.electionintegrityproject.com/).

Your North County Conservatives provided a float and members marched in the annual Grape Day Parade held on Saturday, September 10th. The short Grape Day Parade began at 9:30 a.m. on Grand Avenue and traveled from Escondido Boulevard to Juniper Street and back. It included marching bands, walking groups, equestrians and historic automobiles. Grape Day started in 1908 as a way to celebrate Escondido's grape harvest and promote the city. It flourished until 1950, and then was revived by the History Center in 1996.

How the CLASS Act Initiative Repeals SB 48

Dear friends,

As you know we are about to launch the statewide task of gathering over 700,000 signatures to qualify an initiative that will deal with SB 48. After coming just short of the signatures necessary to qualify for a referendum, the coalition of organizations committed to stopping SB 48 sensed the public was not finished with this issue and, given more time, we could effectively stop this damaging legislation.

The new initiative that will repeal SB 48 is called the CLASS Act. As soon as the California Secretary of State approves it for circulation, we will begin gathering the 700,000 valid voter signatures. This time, we have more than 90 days to gather the signatures.

We have recently received questions about what the CLASS Act Initiative will do regarding SB 48. Will it repeal it or will it simply modify what is a patently bad law? The short answer is that the CLASS Act Initiative will repeal SB 48's language in the education code.

SB 48 has three major elements that made it particularly biased:

1) SB 48 mandated the positive inclusion of history lessons on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other minority figures.

2) SB 48 also prohibited any lessons that "reflect adversely" on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other minority figures.

3) New social science textbooks must be purchased to include these new mandates.

This means that schools are required to teach positive lessons about multi-sexual lifestyles and essentially banned from saying anything negative-even if there were truly negative historical facts about these same groups. And certain "historical figures" would be included based only upon their sexual orientation, rather than focusing on their actual historical contributions to society.

Is this real history or revisionist history with a political agenda?

The CLASS Act ensures historical figures are taught about for their actual historical contributions-not simply based upon their sexual orientation. That means students get the truth-not a politically correct history.

Now that you've been armed with the facts, it's time to get to work! Here's how you can help:

Share the CLASS Act

Please share this message with your friends and family! Have them sign up to receive our emails by gong to www.StopSB48.com. Educate them on why the CLASS Act is needed. We will need to gather 700,000 NEW and VALID signatures for the CLASS Act Initiative to qualify for the 2012 ballot. So please help us spread the word!

You can also "like" us on Facebook and "follow" us on Twitter.

Petition Distribution Centers

Help us get CLASS Act initiative petitions in the hands of fellow Californians.

A petition distribution center:

* Is usually a church or business.

* Permits individual citizens or other churches to go in and pick up petitions and instructions.

* Permits individual citizens to simply go in and sign the petition.

* Has had at least one contact person who is willing to be trained regarding signature-gathering procedures. Training will be provided by a SB 48 volunteer.

* Distribution centers will have their address, phone, and office hours posted on the Stop SB 48 website.

If you are interested in helping in either of these ways, please email danielle@stopsb48.com to get involved today!

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact the CLASS Act campaign.

Donate

Running a statewide campaign in a state as large as California takes lots of money. That's why we need your financial assistance. We're getting word that SB 48 supporters are out on the streets raising money to stop us. They know the public is on our side and they're preparing for battle. They take this fight seriously and they're willing to open their wallets for it. We must be just as committed. Please make your most generous donation to our cause. Click here to donate.

Together, we can repeal SB 48 and make sure our children receive an education grounded in the truth!

Target Date Set for CRC Ratification
Proponents of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) have set a target date by which they would like to see it ratified in the United States: November 20,2012. That date is the anniversary of its adoption by the UN General Assembly back in 1989.

Last month the Child Rights Campaign began pushing online petitions calling on the President to move for CRC ratification. Tuesday, Time ran an online opinion piece by Lawrence Cohen and Anthony Debenedet calling for the United States to ratify by November 20. In the piece, they name our organization and then provide some misinformation to convince readers we are wrong.

Clearly, our opponents have no intention of letting up. They are pressing to make ratification happen before Obama – and their best opportunity – are gone.

That is why we must continue to stand against them. And we need your help.

The CRC purports to protect children, but would replace fit parents with government bureaucrats and judges as the first line of defense for our kids. In addition, it would take family law authority away from our states and make it an international treaty obligation at the federal level.

This is because under Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, any ratified treaty becomes the supreme law of the land, and the judges in every state are bound by it, regardless of conflicts with federal law or state laws or constitutions.

Cohen and Debenedet cite Reid v. Covert to contend that our concern is false because “no international treaty has the power to override the U.S. Constitution.” But this ignores the fact that parental rights do not appear in the Constitution; they are implied rights found in the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court in Reid v. Covert addressed rights not expressly in the Constitution, such as parental rights, thus: “To the extent that the United States can validly make treaties, the people and the States have delegated their authority to the National Government, and the Tenth Amendment is no barrier” 354 U.S. 1 (1957).

Sadly, the CRC is supported by international organizations with billions of dollars in assets (and with access to outlets like Time magazine), while we must depend entirely on the support of individual donors – people just like you who understand the dangers of letting the government decide whether fit parents are making the best decisions for their children.

We must continue to fight for free families and free U.S. courts, no matter how deep the pockets of those who oppose us. As they are turning up the heat, we need your help to meet strength with strength.

First, please make as generous a donation as you can right now. We must make certain this treaty is not passed. To give, simply visit parentalrights.org/donate or call us at 540-751-1200 (8:30 - 5:00 EST).

Then, pass this on to everyone you know. The freedom of parents to raise children according to their own convictions, and the authority of U.S. states to pass family law without dictates from the federal government or an overseas committee, hang in the balance. Preserve America’s future by supporting the Parental Rights Amendment today.

Sincerely,

Michael Farris
President
