Rick Green spoke at October ARC meeting
January 3, 2010
From Team Policy debate coach Tracie Upham:
I hope you enjoyed hearing Rick Green’s patriotic talk at our October party and hayride. You know how he loves to encourage fellow speakers and future leaders! Rick spoke about our founding fathers and gave out several of his books to students that could correctly answer his history questions.
If you were not there, you should also know that Rick Green is currently running for the Texas State Supreme Court. Why should that matter to you?
1. As most of you know, Rick is a fellow homeschool dad and was also homeschooled himself. His was one of the early homeschool families in Texas that paved the way before the Leeper decision. Texas just lost our only homeschool dad on the Supreme Court, and homeschooling has been an issue at state supreme courts recently… recall the California Supreme Court almost destroying homeschooling last year when ruling that homeschool teachers must be certified. We need to know that there is a Justice on the court that will stand up for the Leeper decision and protect homeschooling.
2. Parental Rights. I have known Rick for almost 10 years, and I know he is very strong on parental rights. He worked hard last session to get SB 1440 vetoed by Governor Perry. This bill, which was tacked on to a non-controversial bill at the last minute, would have given CPS unprecedented access to your children without probable cause.
3. Voting in judicial races is important for all of us.
Ezra 7:25 “Set magistrates and judges… all such as know the laws of thy God.”
