Next week, an historic event will take place. On September 16, the
United States Senate, by unanimous consent, officially passed Senate
Resolution 183, designating the week of September 19-25, 1999, as
"National Home Education Week." This resolution, drafted by and
lobbied for by Home School Legal Defense Association, was sponsored
by Senator John Ashcroft.

Several highlights of the resolution state that: parents have the
fundamental right to direct the up-bring of their children; family
participation and parental choices in pursuit of educational
excellence are important; and training in the home strengthens the
family and guides children in setting the highest standards for their
lives which are essential elements to the continuity of morality in
our culture.

Although this resolution does not hold the weight of law, it is an
official recognition of home schoolers by our United States Senate,
and can be used as powerful tool in public relations.

Join us in celebrating this historic event in Washington, D.C. on
September 23 and 24, as HSLDA sponsors the Proclaim Liberty Rally and
Conference. For more information please call Dana Henry at 540-338-
5600.

Found this site with information on Mike New, Army Specialist and home school kid, who was court martialed for refusing to wear the UN uniform. No wonder the "system" is sooo afraid of the home school movement. The only politicians to ever champion his cause were Bob Smith and Pat Buchanan. None of the rest of the republicrat pukes spoke up. This is the mentality that brought the word to Nurenburg. "I was just following orders". Sometimes you have to stand up and say no. http://www.freecitizen.com/mike.htm

Paul... I support the effort to recognize Home Schooling week.....But....this is already Constitution week. This is a copy of the proclamation that the state of Missouri has used for 25-30 years (I removed all the state stuff).... until this year it seems..... This is also what several other previous presidents have issued in the past ..... except for this one.......what do you think?

"Whereas: It is the privilege and duty of the American people to commemorate the two hundred twelfth anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and


Whereas: Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation each year by the President of the United States of America designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week,


Now, Therefore I, ________________________ as (Governor or Mayor) of
the State of _________________ (or City of _______________) do hereby
proclaim the week of September 17 through 23 as


CONSTITUTION WEEK


and urge all citizens to study the Constitution, and reflect on the privilege of being an American with all the rights and responsibilities which that privilege involves.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the (State or City) to be affixed this ____________ day of __________________ of the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine.

Signed ____________________________________

SEAL

attest _______________________"
 
Sorry Paul... I jumped the gun here.... just doubled chacked and find that multiple "Proclamations" are done for a given week.......
 
Note: This is an exact replication of a National Public Radio (NPR)
interview
>>between a female broadcaster and US Army General Reinwald, who was about
to
>>sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
>>FEMALE INTERVIEWER: " So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to
>>teach these young boys when they visit your base?"
>>GENERAL REINWALD: "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery,
and
>>shooting."
>>FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"
>>GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why. They'll be properly supervised on
the
>>rifle range."
>>FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
>>activity to be teaching children?"
>>GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper
rifle
>>discipline before they even touch a firearm."
>>FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you're equipping them to become violent
killers."
>>GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're
not
>>one, are you?"
>>The radio went silent and the interview ended.
