====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== March 28, 2007 Colorado: Your Attendance Needed at the Homeschool Day at the Capitol Dear HSLDA members and friends: Christian Home Educators of Colorado (CHEC) invites all home-educating families to its Home School Day at the Capitol on April 13, 2007 at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver. We at the Home School Legal Defense Association believe it is very important for as many homeschool families to attend as possible. The current Colorado Legislature is NOT pro-family. At any time, they could introduce legislation to restrict homeschooling. However, we have seen how effective capitol lobby days are in preventing bad legislation. If a legislator from either party meets a good homeschool family face-to-face, it makes it hard for them to vote to restrict homeschooling. If they never meet a homeschooler, they will often vote against homeschooling when given the opportunity. In addition, this year HSLDA Senior Counsel Chris Klicka will be speaking on the Capitol Steps at the Rally. Klicka will be telling stories of the hard-fought battle for the freedom of parents to direct the education of their children You can turn the event into an educational field trip for your children by touring the Capitol, attending the morning session and being introduced to the Colorado House or Senate, and by attending the entertaining and informative workshops on government. Workshops for teens and pre-teens are offered in morning and afternoon sessions. Plan ahead and make an appointment with your legislators. Take advantage of this opportunity. Don't miss this year's great event! On the agenda: > Noontime Rally with Chris Klicka speaking on "Home School Heroes" > Visit your Representative and Senator > Participate in FREE workshops. > Homeschool display contest! The displays will be set up in the foyer of the Capitol from April 9-13, 2007. > Participate in various educational tours of museums and the Capitol. > Fill the Gallery of the House Chamber with homeschooled families are introduced on the floor by Representative Kevin Lundberg For details, go to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=3960 . BACKGROUND Below are MORE reasons to attend the Capitol Day: > Dispel any negative myths about the homeschool movement. > Give legislators an understanding of the large numbers of homeschoolers within the state. > Provide positive literature to legislators regarding homeschooling. > Spend one-on-one time with your legislator. > Your presence is necessary to show that the homeschool movement is alive, well, and thriving strong. Please, help keep homeschooling free in Colorado. We make a significant statement to your representatives when 3,000 home educators participate in the noontime rally at the capitol on April 13.
