 Immediate action needed Stop state agencies from gaining unchecked authority over NH families Friends, I need your immediate attention and action. HB553 is one of the most dangerous, overreaching bills to hit New Hampshire in recent years. Don’t be fooled by amendments or “clarifications” — this bill is rotten at its core and must be stopped in any form. HB553 gives state agencies the unchecked authority to investigate, harass, and potentially tear apart innocent families based on vague, subjective claims of “emotional abuse” or “neglect.” It strips parents of the presumption of innocence and opens the door to bureaucratic overreach in YOUR home, YOUR family decisions, and YOUR children’s upbringing. This isn’t about protecting children from real harm. This is about weaponizing the system against parents who might hold “unpopular” views, homeschool, or simply parent differently than the state thinks they should. If you believe in the fundamental rights of parents, you MUST act today. Call, email, and demand your legislators OPPOSE HB553 without compromise. TAKE ACTION NOW: Contact your representative TODAY. Demand that they vote NO on HB553 under any amendment or version. Our children’s futures — and our rights as parents — are not up for negotiation. Talking points and a sample email is below. Click here to find your representative Sample Email to Reps Dear Honorable Representatives,I urge you to vote NO on HB553 — no amendments, no compromises. This bill threatens parental rights by allowing vague claims and invasive investigations of good parents. It undermines due process and opens the door for state overreach into how families raise their kids. Protect New Hampshire families. Vote NO on HB553. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Town] 5 Key Talking Points Opposing HB553HB553 destroys parental rights. It gives the state vague power to investigate parents without clear standards, treating good, loving parents as suspects for subjective offenses. “Emotional abuse” is dangerously undefined. Under HB553, any disagreement in parenting styles, discipline, or even political/religious beliefs could trigger invasive investigations — putting families at risk for simply raising their children according to their values. Presumption of guilt, not innocence. HB553 flips due process on its head — allowing baseless reports to become life-altering investigations, all without requiring credible evidence of actual harm. A nightmare for homeschoolers and non-conformist families. Families who choose homeschooling, alternative education, or countercultural views will be the first targets of bureaucratic overreach under this bill. No amendment can fix this. The bill’s foundation is rotten. Whether it’s tweaked or polished, the state shouldn’t have this level of power over parents’ decisions. HB553 must be opposed in any form.  |
