====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Louisiana--Your Vote Crucial in Preserving Homeschool Freedom Dear Louisiana HSLDA Members and Friends, Election time is fast approaching. This November 4 many state and federal officials are up for re-election. The winners of this coming election will play a big part in determining what freedoms you will keep and what freedoms you will lose. Exercising your right to vote is crucial. The voter guides described below will help you make informed decisions as you cast your vote. Remember, statistics show 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)! In primary elections this number can even be smaller. For most general elections that means it only takes about 13% of adults to elect any given candidate. Your vote does count! ACTION: To find the Family Research Council's Election Guide for Louisiana containing information on candidates in your district please go to: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5686 . Family Research Council is an organization dedicated to the promotion of marriage and family and the sanctity of human life in national policy. To view FRC Action and Focus on the Family's Vote Scorecard please go to: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5609 . Focus on the Family's mission is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible by nurturing and defending the God-ordained institution of the family and promoting biblical truths worldwide. FRC Action is the legislative arm of the Family Research Council. To find additional information about local candidates in Louisiana go to Project Vote Smart at: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5610 and insert your ZIP code. You should be able to apply for an absentee ballot if you are not able to vote on November 4, but the last date to do so would be October 31. For more information about your local polling place or other important information please go to: http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5687 . Please help spread the word about these resources for responsible citizenship! Forward this message to your family and friends in Louisiana so they can also use this information. Sincerely, Thomas J. Schmidt HSLDA Staff Attorney ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> How long are you in for? Some families are facing what seems like a lifelong commitment to homeschooling, with children at both ends of the spectrum -- some graduating and some just reaching school age. If you're going to be "in" for a while, consider a lifetime membership with HSLDA. It's a good deal for families with more than 10 years of homeschooling ahead.
