Dear John,

<p>Since we care about the innocence and joy of childhood, it is frustrating to see that being stolen away by agenda-driven LGBTQ ideology.&nbsp; <br /><br />Hollywood, Netflix, and Disney are pushing LGBTQ and gender confusion content into children's programming&mdash;<strong>without any warning.</strong> They refuse to respect our parental rights.<br /><br />For over a decade, we&rsquo;ve asked these companies to respect our values and stop using entertainment and children's educational programming to indoctrinate our kids. Yet, they have repeatedly ignored us and continue to expose our children to <strong>complex and controversial LGBTQ ideologies.</strong> It&rsquo;s time to put an end to this disregard for parental rights.<br /></p> <p>We are demanding that the <em><strong>Classification and Rating Administration (CARA)</strong></em> create a new rating system to <strong>warn parents when LGBTQ and gender confusion content is included in children's shows.</strong></p>
Sign our petition to CARA staff, Kelly McMahon, Tracey Downs, and Mario Moogan to demand this new rating system that respects family values and gives parents the transparency we deserve.
Parents should have the same warnings for LGBTQ content that we get for violence, drug use, and explicit language.&nbsp; We deserve the right to know what our children are being exposed to.<br><br><strong>We will set a precedent that protects families worldwide!</strong> <br><br>But if we don’t act, children’s content creators will continue undermining parental authority.
Standing with parents for children’s innocence,

Dear John,

<p>As a parent, you have every right to know what&rsquo;s being funneled into your child&rsquo;s entertainment. But Hollywood, Netflix, Disney, and other children&rsquo;s content creators don&rsquo;t think so. <strong>They&rsquo;re blatantly ignoring our concerns, dismissing parents like you and me who are tired of watching our family values get trampled.</strong></p> <p>For over a decade, we&rsquo;ve made it clear: <em>Stop forcing LGBTQ and gender confusion indoctrination into children&rsquo;s programming.</em> But instead of listening, they&rsquo;ve ramped up their efforts, saturating our children&rsquo;s shows with controversial content&mdash;targeting younger and younger audiences.<br /><br /><strong>That&rsquo;s why we are demanding the <em>Classification and Rating Administration (CARA)</em> create a new rating system that warns parents when LGBTQ and gender confusion content is included in children&rsquo;s programming.&nbsp;</strong><br /><br />This is fresh on my mind because recently, I was babysitting my four-year-old grandson, and I turned on what I thought was an age-appropriate show. To my shock, although the show was designed for toddlers, the main characters were two dads raising their daughter to be a boy!</p> <p>You can imagine my dismay&mdash;<strong>I felt blindsided</strong>. What should have been a simple, innocent cartoon turned into a not-so-subtle attempt to normalize ideas that are entirely out of step with our family's values. I was frustrated and angry. <br /><br />Here I was, trying to provide my grandson with safe, wholesome entertainment, and instead, I found myself having to explain concepts about LGBTQ ideologies that no four-year-old should be wrestling with. And it's certainly not what parents and grandparents expect when they sit on the couch to watch a toddler program with their little ones.<br /></p>
Sign our petition to CARA Chairman Kelly McMahon, along with Senior Raters Tracey Downs and Mario Moogan.
<p>It was a wake-up call&mdash;LGBTQ elitists are pushing this agenda everywhere, even in places we least expect. <strong>And it&rsquo;s our children and grandchildren who are paying the price.</strong></p> <p>Despite hundreds of thousands of signatures and petitions, these media giants refuse to respect our parental rights. <strong>They disdain our family values.</strong> It&rsquo;s part of a coordinated campaign to normalize LGBTQ and radical gender ideology while stripping parents and grandparents of our rightful roles in raising our children.</p> <p>Make no mistake&mdash;Hollywood and its allies <strong>have declared war on the family.</strong> And they&rsquo;ve put their <strong>crosshairs on your children.</strong></p> <p>They refuse to be transparent about their agenda. And it&rsquo;s time for us to push back.</p> <p>This fight is about <strong>childhood innocence, transparency, and respect for parental rights.</strong></p> <p>The media industry is betraying parents, deliberately slipping LGBTQ and gender confusion themes into children's shows without warning. <br /><br />Just as I shared about my grandson and how I put on what I thought was a simple, age-appropriate show.&nbsp; I didn&rsquo;t expect to have to screen the made-for-toddler&rsquo;s show, beforehand. By the time I realized what was happening, he had already been exposed to a complex and controversial LGBTQ ideology. Even worse, if I hadn&rsquo;t caught it and had gone to the kitchen to finish preparing lunch, I would&rsquo;ve never known what he had seen.</p> <p>Think about it&mdash;if we weren&rsquo;t informed about violence, drug use, or explicit language in children&rsquo;s programs, we&rsquo;d be outraged. Well, I am outraged about this, just as most parents are. We deserve the same heads-up when it comes to these complex and controversial issues.</p> <p>Parents have the God-given right to raise their children according to their values. <strong>This lack of transparency is an outright violation.</strong></p> <p>That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re demanding change. <br /><br /><strong>We want clear warning labels for LGBTQ and gender confusion content&mdash;just like there are warnings for violence, smoking, or explicit language. Parents need to know what&rsquo;s in these shows before they sit down to watch them, empowering them to decide what&rsquo;s right for their children ahead of time.</strong></p> <p>I am not alone. We are a massive, united movement of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and concerned citizens. Children need your voice to make a difference!<br /></p>
Sign the petition today to flood the CARA office with emails.
<p><strong>We will no longer allow them to sneak into our homes uninvited!</strong><br /><br /><strong>We must stop the silent invasion of LGBTQ content.</strong> <br /><br />They intentionally start with the youngest viewers, and it is up to us to demand our right to know the content ahead of time. <strong>We have the right to protect our children against predatory LGBTQ ideology.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Winning this battle will set a powerful precedent in America and beyond. It will protect parental rights, uphold transparency, and remind children&rsquo;s content creators that parents are the ultimate authority when it comes to raising our kids&mdash;not them.</p> <p>The stakes couldn&rsquo;t be higher. If we lose, they will be emboldened to push their radical agenda even further, undermining family values and parental rights.</p> <p>But if we win, parents across the country&mdash;and the world&mdash;will have the right to know exactly what&rsquo;s being shown to their children. <strong>This victory will ripple across generations, safeguarding our values and rights for years to come.</strong><br /><br />Parents have the right to demand that their children not be exposed to these complex and controversial cultural issues. They must be able to protect their children&rsquo;s innocence and decide what is appropriate for them to watch.<br /></p>
Sign the petition now and demand transparency from CARA Chairman Kelly McMahon and Senior Raters Tracey Downs and Mario Moogan.
