ONLY 5 SESSION DAYS LEFT

We were thrilled to hear that with a vote of 10-1  HB1013 passed the Senate Education Committee last Tuesday, Sept. 23. It was amended so it has to go back to the full House Floor for approval. Representative Mike Turzai (House Majority Leader) promised to put it through but it has to be ASAP. 

There are only 5 session days left and the bill has yet to go through 3 considerations in the Senate. We need to flood Senator Scarnati and Senator Pileggi's offices - in Harrisburg and in their district - with calls, emails, handwritten letters, and face-to-face visits. A visit from among their constituency will mean the most. 

Please take the time to visit your State Senator's district office. Tell them why you want them to advocate for your homeschooling right - by doing all they can to pass HB1013 in the Senate and having it ready for Governor Corbett's signature by October 15.

If you are not a constituent of either of them, it is still important that you contact them:
