====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== October 15, 2008 Idaho--Your Vote Crucial in Preserving Homeschool Freedom Dear Idaho HSLDA Members and Friends, Election time is fast approaching. This November 4, many state and federal officials are up for re-election. The election outcome will determine what freedoms you will keep and what freedoms you will lose. Exercising your right to vote is crucial. The voter guide below will help you make informed decisions as you cast your vote. Remember, statistics show that approximately only 50% of eligible adults actually register to vote. In any given election only about 50% of registered voters vote (that is 25% of adults)! That means only takes about 13% of adults to elect any given candidate. Your vote counts! ACTION: To use the Cornerstone Institute of Idaho's nonpartisan 2008 Voters Guide, visit http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5641 and click on the link at the top of the page. If you have not yet used a voter's guidebook, you'll be pleased with how easy it is to decide who to vote for by answering the same questions submitted to the candidates and comparing your answers to theirs. Please help spread the word about this resource for responsible citizenship! Forward this message to your family and friends in Idaho so they can also use this valuable resource. A couple of things to keep in mind: > For a legal perspective on what activities churches and pastors are allowed to take part in, check out these resources prepared by attorney James Bopp: "Do's and Don'ts for Political Activities of Pastors": http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5634 and "Guidelines for Political Activities by Churches and Pastors": http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=3380 > For information on voting in Idaho, visit Idaho Secretary of State's elections page at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5642 > For information on requesting an absentee ballot, go to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5643 Don't forget to exercise your right to vote on November 4! Sincerely, Chris Klicka HSLDA Senior Counsel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> For as little as 27 cents a day...
