Will 2022 Extend the 'Year of the Parent'?

Conservative media outlets have characterized 2021 as "the year of the parent," which begs the question of whether 2022 will continue in the same vein. Early indications are that concerned parents are not going anywhere and are more likely to increase in number and gather momentum.

In Loudoun County, Virginia, the veritable ground zero for parental outrage and pushback, concerned parents kicked off 2022 by filing a lawsuit against their school board "for violating open meeting laws." The Founding Freedoms Law Center (FFLC), the legal arm of The Family Foundation, is representing these parents, charging the Loudoun County Superintendent and School Board with violating their rights by keeping them "from fully participating in publicly held meetings."

Hidden Treasure:
iVoter Guide Takes Guesswork out of Voting

Often, citizens go to the polls knowing the candidates at the top of the ticket, but little if anything about those running farther down the ballot. Yet down-ballot races are equally if not more important if we are to save our democratic republic.

While it may be more difficult to obtain information about local candidates and races, the organization iVoterGuide is working hard to make sure citizens are informed when they go to the polls. A visit to iVoter Guide.com yields critical information needed to educate voters, including candidate evaluations, campaign finance data, sample ballots, and much more. The main page of the organization's website announces its identity: "Grounded in God. Rooted in research."

Taking Steps to Restore Liberty

After serving honorably in the armed forces for decades to uphold the U.S. Constitution, including four tours of duty in Afghanistan, retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Darin Gaub realized he could not sit idly by and watch his country's constitutional freedoms disappear. So he pulled together a team of experts in several critical areas, including data analysis, political strategy, public relations, and administration, and founded an organization called Restore Liberty.

Based in Helena, Montana, Gaub's organization has several goals, the first of which is designed to encourage American citizens to affirm their support of the principles on which our country was founded. Gaub's team created a Declaration of Constitutional Consent, which is simply a written affirmation of our founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
