You did a marvelous job with the speakers, press conference, visits to our legislators, and actually being able to sit in on the sessions. I came home praising our Lord for allowing us to be so well represented in government.

We got to spend some good time with (our Representative) and I found that very valuable. We did enjoy our visit to the Hall of Justice …but didn't see nearly everything in the interactive learning center there (what an impressive new facility!). We were blessed to have Justice Markman come speak to us and we feel fortunate for that. …It is still better to be able to go as a large group and have the benefit of the time and attention of the policy makers.

We enjoyed today so very much. I took the children thinking it would be of benefit to them and came away realizing it had been a tremendous blessing to them AND to me!! It was such an awesome experience in so many different ways. I don't believe our state political process will ever be viewed the same way again--- THANK YOU

| Home Education in Michigan - Wednesday, November 05, 2008Given the hostility of some legislatures in Michigan during the last year, we anticipate more attacks on our freedom to homeschool in Michigan during the next year. We will monitor issues as they surface and send out information as appropriate.
We will also be determining the date for next year's conference soon. Stay tuned for more information. |
| Manditory Education Through Age 18. - Wednesday, December 03, 2008Since Education begins at Home, any bill which extends the rights of the state to dictate additional requirements while offering no educational advantage is an intrusion onto the rights of the parents to determine their childs future. In this case, even educators are not completely behind this since classroom teachers recognize the disruptions which can result when an unwilling, fully grown student is forced to be in the classroom.
This will be introduced next term. Click the link to read the bill and follow its progress. read more ... |

“Imagine if . . .”
The Reality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Imagine an Air Force mom, serving her country on a month-long deployment, who learns that her daughter has been secretly removed by local authorities, claiming the child has been “abandoned.” Children begin mandatory sex-education at the age of four, regardless of their family’s opinions, [...]

With Election Day tomorrow, voters across the country will choose not only a president, but the 111th Congress. Once that happens, we will get to know the new [...]
