Dear Members and Friends,

As a service to our members I wanted to let you know of some very important issues afoot that, while not directly threatening legality of home education, are a very serious threat to our way of life as Christians and Free Americans.  
 
1)   On April 8th the NH House is planning to reconsider HB415, dubbed the "Bathroom Bill", which adds the term "gender expression" to the anti-discrimination laws.   If you would rather not have a self-proclaimed "gay" man sharing a public ladies room with your daughter you need to protest this outrage by calling your local representatives and the Governor

2) The recent passage of HB436 by the NH House to legalize "Genderless Marriage" is a serious threat to our families and the free practice of Faith.   NH recently defined "civil unions" to guarantee equal rights for so-called "gays" with regard to civil law.   If you agree the government has no business redefining "Marriage", a natural and spiritual relationship, we urge you to get involved by calling your State Senator and asking him/her to vote "NO" on HB436.   Dates on hearings should be announced soon.

You don't need to be an expert in the law to make a simple phone call and ask our reps or senators to represent us when they vote.   That is why they were elected.   They will not know how to vote unless we all make our wishes known.   The "Gay" Lobby is very well organized and financed nationwide.   They correctly see NH as a vulnerable state and are pouring in money and people to convince your legislators to represent them.

Your continued participation in your government does make a difference!

In His Service,
Jim
