Dear Jerry,
America's birth rate has fallen to 1.62 children per woman--far below the 2.1 needed for long-term prosperity, a robust workforce, and solvent entitlement programs.
The primary intellectual engine behind today's anti-natal mindset is the 1972 Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, whose report declared that "no substantial benefits will result from further growth of the Nation's population."
That report was wrong then, and its lingering influence is harmful now.
That's why we are urging President Trump to sign an executive order "Disavowing the 1972 Commission on Population Growth and Promoting America's Demographic Future."
This executive order would:
1. Formally repudiate the 1972 Commission's conclusions and bar federal agencies from citing or relying on them.
2. Purge outdated "over-population" material from all government websites, curricula, and grant guidance.
3. Launch a Task Force on Demographic Renewal to craft pro-family, pro-natal policies that rebuild America's population strength without over-reliance on immigration.
To show that this executive order has the support of the American people, we have created a petition urging President Trump to sign.
Every name added builds the momentum we need to bring this issue to the attention of President Trump.
Can we count on you?
