Children's Rights: ParentalRights.org's New Vice President Shaun Alexander NFL MVP

ParentalRights.org Announces New Vice-President

-- June 7, 2016

ParentalRights.org is excited to announce this week the election of our new Vice-President, former NFL running back and 2005 league MVP Shaun Alexander.

Raised in Kentucky, Shaun became a star at the University of Alabama, setting several school records during his years there. Then he was drafted nineteenth overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the 2000 draft of the National Football League.

As a Seahawk in 2005, Shaun led the league in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, points scored, and Pro Bowl votes. He also led his team to Super Bowl XL, the team’s first–ever Super Bowl appearance.

Having retired from football after the 2008 season, today Shaun focuses on his family and on encouraging families and fatherhood through a variety of programs. He recently launched his "Finish the Game" podcast series in which he challenges especially fathers to be present in the lives of their children. He has also taken on the role of vice-president of ParentalRights.org with the hope of becoming the face of the organization.

We know many of you have been thinking the same thing we have over the last several years: Americans agree on parental rights, but they don’t know our organization exists. Many don’t know the state of parental rights has deteriorated so far, and very few are aware of our effort to fix it.

If we could just get the word out, nearly all of America would be on board.

It is our hope that Shaun can get us in front of a whole new audience, to draw attention to the plight of parental rights today.

“I believe parents with a clear focus can train up their children to impact the world,” Shaun recently wrote. “I want to inform, encourage, and help allow parents to be that great trainer to their children.” With us, he believes the Parental Rights Amendment is a necessary protection for that to happen.

You will be hearing more from and about Shaun over the next couple of weeks, to say nothing of the months ahead. He will be posting interviews, writing letters, and hosting events to draw attention to the parental rights cause.

We are grateful to add his passion, enthusiasm, and desire to win to our board and to our effort. Together, we can secure the liberty of loving parents to make decisions for their children through the Parental Rights Amendment. And with Shaun on our team, we believe we are one big step closer to seeing that goal fulfilled.

Sincerely

Michael Ramey

Director of Communications & Research.
