Home Schoolers Uwe and Hannelore Romeike Need Your Help NOW!
A family of modern-day Pilgrims needs your urgent assistance. You may have heard of the Romeike family; Uwe and Hannelore Romeike were persecuted for homeschooling in Germany — where for homeschooling their kids, they faced prison, fines, and loss of parental rights in their home country.
A few years ago, they fled to the United States and received asylum from an immigration judge, only to have the Board of Immigration Appeals overturn the judge’s ruling and order them deported. The Home School Legal Defense Association is appealing their case to the 6th Circuit right now.
The Home School Legal Defense Association is working to build a groundswell of support for the Romeikes, and we urge you to help these modern day Pilgrims, fleeing persecution for freedom in America.
The Home School Legal Defense Association has put-up a petition on the White House web page.
We at CHQ urge you to help them get the word out for signatures on the petition (they need 100,000 signatures in 30 days in order to receive a response), and also to help get the word out in any other way you can think of – tweets, Facebook, blog posts for example – that the Romeike family needs help NOW.

Please allow this wonderful family to stay in the USA. They will be an asset to the community and the country.

The moral thing to do is to allow this fine family to remain in the United States to ensure they remain together as a family. It is only right and proper for this mother and father to love and teach their own children as they seem fit. God bless America and God bless this family.
Please let this wonderful Christian family stay in American. They will be a great asset to our country. In Germany the big beautiful churches are empty.They are only for the tourists that visit. Hitler when he was in power he took God out.That is why no one is allowed to home school in Germany. This family if they are deported back to Germany most likely will be jailed and the children will be taken away from them.
How can we as a supposedly free country allowing millions of people coming from Mexico,want to give them citizenship and social security plus health care. But, this family is to be deported. If ther is any Christian love in any of you who decide on this please, rethink what you are doing.May God Bless America and may God bless this family mightly.
