Nov. 12, 2007 - You are Invited to a Tea Party!
A Liber-tea party!!! Wanna come? See invite details below 
I'll be there.
Side note: I have been debating with myself on how political I want my blog to be, this is a homeschooling blog, isn't it? But I just cannot separate homeschooling and politics in my mind. By the mere fact that I'm homeschooling I am making a political statement. And when it comes to politicians, I keep coming back to Ron Paul.
I will keep this lite, but did want to mention a couple of his main stances that appeal to me as a woman wanting growing NOT diminishing freedom to homeschool her children, and as a woman who not only wants the freedom to live the kind of life she feels called to live, but that her children also have the same or even better opportunities to live their own life with freedom. Please see a couple of points from Ron Paul that I'm highlighting below:
* he'd get rid of the Dept of Education (not an easy feat because I believe it is so heavily entrenched in the American psyche, BUT if he did, my take on it would be that all schools would be privatized, and the money would follow the child. Wow, what a gift to the American people and our children's future!)
* he'd protect our rights to privacy and liberty. Do you know how much our Constitution has been eroded? Ever heard of the Patriot Act? Read up on how the Patriot Act violates the Bill of Rights. I'll make it easy for you, read here .
* he'd defend the 2nd Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms. The Founding Fathers gave us a right to bear arms to protect us from government
* HOMESCHOOLING - Ron Paul has vowed to keep homeschooling a viable option for American familiies
Educate yourself on the issues, do not vote for someone solely because you have always voted for that party or because of name recognition. Our Constitution is being eroded into nothingness, our Republic is but a shadow of its former self. Educate yourself so you can educate your children.
Officially dismounting from my soapbox. For today at least.
