Don't Waste Your Sacred Vote
Rev. James A. Garfield, United States President and Minister of the Gospel (1831-1881), gave a challenge well suited for the state we find ourselves in. “The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities… If the next centennial does not find us a great nation… it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.”
This November, America is faced with the challenge of placing godly, conservative men and women into positions of leadership in the state and federal level. The decisions our government make can be perilous.
We have an assumption that the names on the ballot on General Election won the Primary fair and square which is not necessarily true. At the same token, we should not check out of the process in frustration over the corrupt practices.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is hardly a step of faith if it is not based on knowledge. While we still have some freedoms, let us exercise our rights and responsibilities with courage, pro-actively.
Pennsylvania recognizes the right of “We the people” to write-in who we trust to represent and govern us. Several grassroots efforts launched a write-in campaign movement compelled that we cannot sacrifice our principles at the altar of political expediency.
On November 2, please write-in your vote for:
SAMUEL E. ROHRER
You may get to know him more by accessing his legislative website here. In keeping with his campaign promise, he is stepping down from Representing 128th Legislative District; an office his constituents have been voting his post for nine terms.
To learn more why Sam Rohrer is the best man for Pennsylvania Governor. Check out:
http://PatriotsforSamRohrer.org and http://SamRohrerWriteIn.org, 2 of the main grassroots sites that explain the campaign effort.
Please note that no candidate is affiliated or has direct influence in any shape or form in these efforts; but some Tea Party and 912 Groups share the sentiment against the party hacks of the 2-party system. Thanks for considering writing in the same good candidates who were wrongly disqualified by the unConstitutional electoral process.

CHAP Endorsement to The Membership
Below is an endorsement letter sent out exclusively to CHAP members.
><>
Dear CHAP Member,
As a CHAP member you are getting this special email. It is only going to CHAP members for reasons that will become obvious shortly. Because CHAP is a federal 501 C4 corporation, we can endorse candidates for public office to our membership. We have never done this before. This letter is to endorse not one but two candidates in the upcoming primary and hopefully then the general election in the fall. They are Pennsylvania Representative Sam Rohrer running for Governor and Pennsylvania Representative Daryl Metcalfe running for Lt. Governor.
I first met Sam Rohrer at the 1995 CHAP convention. He was a homeschooler who also happened to be a Pennsylvania State Representative. We, at CHAP, have worked with him ever since. He has been our champion at the state capitol on various issues including our attempt to get a Homeschool Freedom Bill - HB 2560. As good as that has been, that is not the reason we are supporting Sam for Governor of Pennsylvania. The reason that we are supporting Sam is that he is a man of sterling integrity. He stands firmly for his principles, regardless of distractions.
This letter is to encourage you to go to samrohrer.org and find out how to support him. This is our chance to have a homeschooling governor. He is a man whose goals and values are the same as ours. If I had to choose between Sam and myself for governor, I would certainly choose Sam.
Along with Sam Rohrer, CHAP encourages you to also work for and support Daryl Metcalfe for the office of Lt. Governor. Daryl Metcalfe is a Pennsylvania Representative who has been working with CHAP as long as he has been in office. He is a steadfast supporter of homeschooling and Christian family values. He once told us that he would sponsor any legislation that we wanted. His staunch integrity has been a source of wonder to me. He too deserves our fervent support.
If you have ever found yourself wondering why we don't elect men of integrity, here is your chance to make it happen. Support these two men as if your future, and the future of your children depended on it, for it surely does.
They are in need of funds, calls, signage and other hard work. Contact their campaigns, tell them CHAP sent you and ask to be put to work. Don't wait - Act now to make a difference! Both of these men will be speakers at the CHAP Convention on Friday, May 7, 2010. They have been invited to speak through their legislative offices as State Representatives on issues they see facing homeschool parents in Pennsylvania.
Go to http://www.samrohrer.org and http://www.darylmetcalfe.com/ and support him with all your resources.

Bruce Eagleson, Chairman

Dear Fellow Homeschooling Parent
April 21, 2010
The choice you’ve made to take responsibility for the education of your children was not easy. But as Ruth Ann and I found out many years ago, the commitment to homeschool our six kids was one of our best life decisions.
When I first ran for public office seventeen years ago, it was out of a deep concern about the increasingly invasive role of government, and the steady erosion of personal liberties.
It wasn’t too long ago when the idea of parental responsibility in education was not a value respected by most of the political elites. This disconnect couldn’t have been more obvious than in my statewide travels in the 1990’s to fight and defeat “Outcome - Based Education.” We won that battle because of engaged and alert parents like you!
I think you will now agree, that because of the policy changes we have achieved together, the home education movement is now synonymous with excellence and good citizenship. We’ve come a long way, but as many of us have learned, the opponents of home education and school choice are relentless and unyielding. We must remain vigilant.
As a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, I authored the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) law, a measure that has allowed tens of thousands of kids to escape failing schools. Beyond that, I supported laws to expand charter schools, and have always defended the rights of parents to make decisions for the education of their children.
I’m running for governor because like no other time in my public service, I feel an enormous sense of urgency to confront the challenges we face. From high taxes, runaway spending, a heavy regulatory burden and persistent threats to life and family, Pennsylvania ’s next chief executive must have a sense of moral purpose and courage.
If you give me the privilege of serving as Pennsylvania ’s next governor, expanding educational freedom will be a top priority. We simply cannot lose an inch of the ground we’ve gained for families.
If you’re able to become involved in my campaign for governor, please sign up today www.SamRohrer.org or email our staff at info@samrohrer.org. I’d be grateful for your help.
Respectfully,
Sam Rohrer
Republican Candidate
for Pennsylvania Governor

Sam Rohrer Endorsed by Homeschool Leader
Sam Rohrer has been representing Bucks County since 1992. That translates as being elected and re-elected nine times, a good job performance approval from his constituents. This comes as no surprise since he has been an outspoken supporter for timeless constitutional principles evidenced by his record. And there can be no more explosive issue today than the protection of time-honored traditions and practice.
Posterity depends on education and is a universal campaign hot topic.
As a home educator by choice and by default - and later by conviction, I owe a debt of gratitude to Sam Rohrer. He is a courageous homeschool father who continues to work hard to protect the rights of parents to teach and train their own God-given charge.
I am pleased that Michael Farris of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association has come out to endorse him for all his efforts.
"As homeschooling parents of six, Sam and Ruth Ann have led by example. Take a closer look at Sam Rohrer’s record on parental rights and education. If you’re a homeschooling parent, the old license place slogan applies – 'You’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania'!”Join the growing grassroots movement “to energetically support him in every way possible. His election would be a tremendous victory for the cause.”

The Republican Party Should Stop the Endorsement Practice
I am making a bold statement here but I'm compelled to uphold the sacred right of each voter. Sadly in my ignorance, I was part of the system before I realized the injustice of the practice.
Every election cycle, we have committee members in State and County levels who vet every candidate running for a particular office. Each of these candidates fulfill the legal requirements to be included in the ballot. However, an endorsed candidate who usually is already part of the establishment gets campaign help from the party.
While State and County Republican Committee members are elected (albeit, non-paid) positions, it is not their job to pick our candidates for us. Primary elections are for the people to decide who they want their party to endorse as a candidate; then come election time, those candidates put forth by each party competes for everybody's vote.
Not all patriotic consciencious citizens or super voters (faithful exercisers of their right and responsibility to vote) are aware of this matter. Many better and exemplary candidates have gotten knocked out of the race partly because of this process.
Primary Elections are important. Let me reiterate this by saying that courageous citizens who has stepped up to the plate to challenge bad politicians are unable to justly and fairly compete because right off the bat, they're weeded out of the game. It is a big disservice to us.
True. Any candidate can proceed without party endorsement.
True. There are advantages to the practice, I do not deny that.
However, if we are truly to have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, no power-holding select group of people should take away the right of the citizenry to be acquainted with anybody and everybody who wants to come forward offering their services to the public.
