Ohio

Dear Friend,

There is a battle raging in Colorado for the very souls of your children. The Colorado House of Representatives recently introduced  HB19-1032, a bill pertaining to Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education.  The bill will be heard before the House Health and Insurance Committee this Wednesday, January 30, at 1:30 p.m.

Your voice is needed TODAY to help stop this very dangerous bill (see Take Action TODAY below).

At a minimum, the proposed legislation would do the following:

• Mandate positive teaching of the LGBTQ ideology and lifestyle while prohibiting any instruction from a faith-based values perspective.
• Require children in local public and charter schools to learn the explicit sexual techniques of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
• Encourage early sexual curiosity and sexual experimentation in children who are not developmentally ready.
• Persuade children to become advocates for (and even participate in) sexual exploration, promiscuity, bisexuality, and transgenderism.

Comprehensive Human Sexuality Education is an effort by the radical homosexual lobby to normalize homosexual and other deviant behavior. The rally cry of the homosexual lobby is, “Whoever controls the schools controls the future.” If passed, HB19-1032 would rob Colorado’s children of their innocence by opening them up to immoral and unhealthy practices and teachings. It would condition them to accept inaccurate educational messages of “safe sex” and homosexuality while promoting promiscuity and high-risk sexual behaviors to children as healthy and normal.

Take Action TODAY!

Contact the House Health and Insurance Committee members, either by phone and/or email and urge the members of the committee to vote “NO” on HB1032. The committee members must hear from you today or by 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 30.

Let us pray for the members of the House Health and Insurance Committee by name. Pray they will have the courage to stand up against this very dangerous bill.

Please pray Ephesians 6:12, on behalf of the children of Colorado, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Dear friend,

As a Christian, voting is not just a right; it is a responsibility.  It is imperative that we engage evangelical Christian conservatives in Ohio to get to the polls!

In-person absentee voting begins 35 days before an election and ends at 2:00 p.m. the Monday before Election Day (October 12 – November 7).

Act:

• VOTE!
• Forward this reminder on to friends and family and remind them of the importance and weight their vote carries.

Pray:

• Be in prayer for our nation — that Christians would get to the polls and that those whom we elect would honor God through their leadership.

What is on the line in this election? The Supreme Court vacancy, national security, national debt, taxpayer funding to the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood, the Hyde Amendment, religious liberty, and more. Getting registered is crucial to make sure your voice is heard on the issues that are important to you.

That said, let’s make sure we get to the polls and encourage our fellow believers to do the same!

Blessings,

You are invited to attend an expert panelist discussion on Common Core at Capitol Theater in Columbus.

Common Core is the governmental overhaul of our education system to create national K – 12 standards. Click here to read more about the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSI) and why it matters to you.

On Wednesday, April 9, Ohioans and their state representatives and senators will have an opportunity to hear form a panel of the nation’s foremost experts, as they discuss the implication of Ohio’s adoption of Common Core Standards at a special Common Core Forum to be held at the Capitol Theater in Columbus. The forum, which begins at 6:00 p.m., will address the struggles and concerns that parents and teachers are facing under Common Core, as well as the destructive effect the new standards are having on our children.

One prominent concern is that the initiative never went through the legislative process, even though the Common Core standards will affect the education of every child in Ohio. Parents, legislators, local school boards and educators were bypassed and never given an opportunity to evaluate the standards before they became law through ambiguous language inserted in a budget bill. A majority of Ohio lawmakers were unaware of Common Core until parents brought it to their attention in April of 2013, almost three years after the adoption. This includes members of the House and Senate Education Committees.

Forum attendees will learn about Common Core instruction and materials that include developmentally inappropriate expectations, explicit and biased content, inane methods of mathematics instruction, absence of classical literature study, loss of teacher autonomy, excessive testing during instruction hours, intrusive data mining, and heavy corporate influence.

Event Details:
What: Common Core Forum
Where: Capitol Theater, 77 S. High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215
When: Wednesday April 9, 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Sponsored by: Ohioans Against Common Core

Registration is required!

Ohioans are encouraged to invite school administrators, board members, teachers and state legislators to the forum. State senators and House representatives do not need reservations, as seats will be held for them. For planning purposes, the public must register online for advance tickets (at no cost) at OhioansAgainstCommonCore.com.
