You are right, homeschool children do not vote. But politicians everywhere should be respectful of a group of people who can turn a political campaign into a homeschool project. Local politicians in Maine found that out a few years ago. Nationally homeschoolers took down some difficult legislation that was going to cripple homeschooling by federal law. And they did it in a few days. Never underestimate the power of the family.

Actually we coordinate our resources thru the Wisconsin Homeschool Associaltion and the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.

They pinpoint the weak spots in the dam and we act based on their advice and comment. It's that many pairs of eyes kind of effectivity, focused on what is the most current threat to our rights.

Good for you folks on the Maine front.

It's one thing to teach political science in the homeschool environment, and entirely another to politic on homeschool time. I could make quite an effective case that it's not appropriate. I let my children be armed with the information, but stop short of advocacy on their behalf on political activism.

I don't want that in the schools, and I'm careful not to do it on homeschool time. Now family time is another matter.

I hope you see my point.
