====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== May 21, 2004 New Jersey--Rally Monday! Final Reminder Dear HSLDA members and friends: This is a call for every homeschooler to come to Trenton on Monday! The rally is from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This may be our very best opportunity to prove to the legislature that homeschoolers will not passively wait at home while our freedom is whittled away. Stopping Assemblywoman Weinberg's attack on homeschooling is going to take everyone pitching in! Please join us in this historic declaration! Information about additional parking, public transportation, and directions are below. 1. There are many options for parking in Trenton! There is a large overflow parking area on Perry Street where a bus comes by to pick up and drop off at the state house. It is about a 10-15 minute walk otherwise, but the bus goes right there. Public parking is available in the Capitol Complex parking garage. It is accessed by turning right onto Barrack Street from West State Street and turning left at the first light onto Lafayette Street. Proceed to the next light and turn right onto South Warren Street. Make the first right and make another right at the stop sign. Bear left at the light and make a right at the light toward the back of the State House. Proceed to the guard booth and have picture ID ready to gain access to the parking garage. Metered, on-street parking is available along West State Street. Pay lots are located at the corner of South Warren and Lafayette Streets, and at North Warren and Hanover Streets. Handicap parking is available in the parking garage and on West State Street in front of the State House and Annex and across the street from the State House.

Driving Directions: Here are the directions to the State House from the NJ Legislative webpage: From the East: Take 195 west to Route 29 north (toward Lambertville). Exit right at Memorial Drive. Follow signs for the Capitol Complex and proceed through the light at the end of the ramp. After the light, make a sharp first right and proceed making a semi-circle around the parking area. Pass through the light into the Capitol Complex. From the South: Take Route 206 north or 295 north, and follow directions to 195 west. Follow directions above for traveling from the east. From the West: Enter Trenton via Delaware River toll bridge (Route 1 north). Exit at Route 29. Take Route 29 north (toward Lambertville). Exit right at Memorial Drive. Follow signs for the Capitol Complex and proceed through the light at the end of the ramp. After the light, make a sharp first right and proceed making a semi-circle around the parking area. Pass through the light into the Capitol Complex. From the North: Take Route 1 south to the last New Jersey exit ("Capitol Complex"). Turn right onto Warren Street and go to the light where you will make a left onto Market Street. Pass through the next light at William Trent Place and bear right following signs for the Capitol Complex. 3. Public Transportation Direct rail service to Trenton is provided by both NJ Transit (1-800-582-5946) and Amtrak (1-800-872-7245). NJ Transit also provides bus service to and within the Trenton area. From the train station: Walking: South Clinton Avenue runs along the left side of the train station. Proceed up the avenue (to your right when facing the road) one block and make a left onto East State Street. (You'll soon pass the Department of Environmental Protection on your left.) At one point, the street becomes a pedestrian mall. After the mall, the street becomes West State Street. The State House is two blocks up on the left. The walk takes 10-15 minutes. Cabs: Cabs are available at the rear of the station. Buses: Buses stop in front of the train station at the corner of South Clinton Avenue. Most service West State Street and the State House. If your group is bringing a charter bus, the passengers should disembark a couple blocks away from the rally site to avoid congestion, etc. Thank you for standing with us for freedom at this historic event!
