Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:

Thank you for your emails to the Committee Members of the Committees
for Education, Science, Youth, and Sport. As a result of your
diligence, each committee member received over 2000 emails, urging
them to legalize homeschooling and to adopt the amendments of the
Romanian Home School Association.

The Romanian homeschoolers are excited about the support and hopeful
that the international outcry will enable them to have the legal right to homeschool in Romania through this new federal law.

Therefore, you can stop emailing these members of the Romanian
Parliament at this time. Their email boxes are quite full!

We will notify you in the future if there is any need to continue
contacting these Committee Members, but we think this will be
sufficient.

Gabriel Curcubet, president of the Romanian Home Schooling
Association, was able to obtain the email addresses of two
undersecretaries of state. He believes it would be advantageous to
their cause to send an email, or a copy of the email you sent to the
Committee Members, to them.

You can say:
Honorable Undersecretary of State,

“We respectfully urge you to consider the petition of the Romanian
Home Schooling Association regarding home schooling. We ask you to
include home schooling in the new educational law.”

You can also include a paragraph about the social and academic success of your homeschool.

Zvetlana Preoteasa, Undersecretary of State for K-12 Education:
zvetlana.preoteasa@min.edu.ro

Gabriella Pasztor, Undersecretary of State for communication with
Parliament: pasztor@mec.edu.ro

Thank you, once again, for your response in helping these brothers and sisters in Romania as they work for their freedom to homeschool.

Sincerely,
Christopher J. Klicka

9 November 2007 – HSLDA — Urgent Email needed for Romanian Homeschoolers

HSLDA–Urgent Email needed for Romanian Homeschoolers

Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:

Homeschooling is not legal in Romania, even though the homeschool movement is steadily growing. Home School Legal Defense Association has been working with Gabriel Curcubet, president of the Romanian Home Schooling Association, in order to convince the Romanian government to specifically recognize and legalize homeschooling.

For now, we have achieved a way for homeschooling to exist, but this solution is only temporary. A recent change in Romania’s leadership has given an opportunity for homeschooling to become legal.

The Romanian homeschoolers have requested that homeschoolers from America and around the world email the members of the two education committees in Parliament immediately. The new Ministry of Education wants to review the Education Law projects and to complete this national education law in November. Therefore, time is of the essence.

Will you please take a moment and send an email to help our brothers and sisters in Romania enjoy the freedom we have in America?

ACTION REQUESTED

Please send an email which states:

“Honorable member of the Committee for Education, Science, Youth, and Sport:

“We respectfully urge you to consider the petition of the Romanian Home Schooling Association regarding homeschooling. We ask you to include homeschooling in the new educational law as they recommend.”

Also include a paragraph about the social and academic success of homeschooling in your family.

To email the members of these Committees, please go to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4527 ; this webpage will enable you to write one email which will then be sent to all the members of the Education Committee of both the Chamber of the Deputies and the Senate.

By sending this one email through our website, 35 members of parliament will receive your individual message from your email address.

You can send your email through November 28, 2007.

Thank you very much for taking a few moments to make a difference for the homeschoolers in Romania.

Sincerely,
Christopher J. Klicka
HSLDA Senior Counsel

When a social service worker arrives at your door, tension can run high. Wouldn’t it be nice to get your lawyer on the phone, providing you with immediate step-by-step guidance?
