Another reason to join HSLDA! — 2 Mar 10

We at CHEC have long advocated the Home School Legal Defense Assocation (HSLDA.org).  With a batting record in court that would water any coach’s eyes, they are your first line of human defense against the tyranny of social workers and law enforcement agents who may not fully know or appreciate your rights like the U.S. Constitution 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant and/or probable cause.  The cost to join is minimal, especially when you consider you are getting a first rate legal team that stays on the job 24/7.  But, there are many more resources available from them to include the Home School Court Report which keeps you up to date of what is going on with litigation nationwide.  Please pray for Mike Donnelly, our Colorado rep, and all at HSLDA that God will bless their endeavors to protect our freedoms.  And while you are at it, pray for Treon Goossen who vigilantly monitors the Colorado legislative scene.

HSLDA Conference 23-26 Sep 2009

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Immediately following the Alliance Conference last week, several of us from CHEC attended the annual Home School Legal Defense Assocation (www.hslda.org) conference, also held in Colorado Springs.  HSLDA has advocated for homeschoolers in the courtroom, legislative halls, on the phone with social workers, and many other ways for 26 years.  The conference included workshops and special guest speakers.  Founders J. Michael Smith

On Saturday evening, a fitting tribute to Chris Klicka was given.  Chris has been our faithful Colorado attorney representative for a long time, but stepped down recently due to health reasons.

Those of you who are not members of HSLDA should reconsider.  They are your professional legal counsel should you ever need it–all for the cost of two trips to the specialty coffee shop per month.  And, they help ensure homeschooling freedoms we currently enjoy, even if you are not a member.
