Home Educators Capitol Day

On Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 With many other homeschooling families.

We are not sure quite yet the estimate number of people who attended but the last registered count on Monday was over 1,200!

It was good to see our Representative and Senator, and we went into the House of Representatives while they were in session, and they recognized the Homeschoolers, and the young people who were participating in the Future Statesmen program. The place was so packed that there was standing room only, and there was a constant flow of people coming in and out! It was a great time to be there and encourage our leaders to support homeschooling!

As we were getting on one of the elevators, a gentleman who we believe was either a Representative or Senator, asked our family if we were home-schoolers. We told him that we were, and he said that he believed in Homeschooling, and supports it, and said that he thinks it is great, because statistics are showing that home-schoolers, are better educated, more sociable and better prepared for living and working in society! So that was a great part of our trip!

It was also great because we were able to see quite a few of our home-schooling friends that we only get to see at Convention! So our day was very blessed!

If you have never participated in a Home Educators Capitol Day, I encourage you to attend! It is vitally important for us as home -schoolers to visit with our Representatives and Senators and let them know how important it is for them to continue fighting to maintain our freedom to home-school. But it is important to visit other days not only on Capitol day!
