====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== March 30, 2004 Iowa--URGENT-Come to Capitol Tomorrow to help Driver Ed Bill Dear Iowa HSLDA members and friends: Your calls are working! One Democratic senator has just decided to support HF 2394 because of the tremendous number of calls from his constituents. But we need to do more. We expect the senate to vote some time after 11:00 AM tomorrow, and it could be extremely close. Action Requested: 1. If you tried to call your senator and did not get through, keep trying! Call (515) 281-3371. They must hear from their constituents. Check your email frequently for updates. Give your senator the following message: "Please vote in favor of HF 2394. It will allow parents to teach driver education to their homeschooled children. This is about saving young lives. Statistics show that lives are saved and accidents are prevented when homeschool parents teach driver's education to their own children." 2. Come to the state capitol tomorrow (Wednesday) to send a personal message to your senator. Meet at 10:00 AM in front of the entrance to the senate chamber. Barb Heki will be holding a "NICHE" sign. She will show you how to fill out a note that a page will take to your senator. Your senator may come off the senate floor to talk to you. Be prepared to explain briefly why he should support the bill (see Background below). 3. If you live in Davenport or Bettendorf, be certain to call Senator Maggie Tinsman, if you live in her district (district 41, the part of Davenport east of US Route 61, and all of Bettendorf). Though many of her constituents want this bill, she is opposing it. Leave a message for her by calling (515) 281-3371. Background: 1. This is about saving young lives. According to a statistical study by students at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, injuries and deaths were dramatically lower for teens who learned to drive using a homeschool driver education program. The number of accidents and tickets was also dramatically lower. 2. Homeschool students are frequently turned away from public school driver education classes because the classes are full. 3. Public school driver education courses are expensive, and getting more expensive. 4. No professional driver or teacher cares as much about your child as you do. Parent-taught driver education is highly successful because of individualized attention, flexible scheduling, parent- child interaction, and greater accountability. Thank you for standing with us for freedom! Sincerely Yours, Scott A.
