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.”

Post PA Primary Election Thoughts

Have you seen the results? Some voters did not know that there were 3 Republican presidential candidates in the ballot.

John McCain got 72.7% without campaigning. In fact, we didn't even get a single yard sign from his campaign.

Ron Paul had 15.9% of the votes. He came to campaign and poured a lot of money up to the last minute. His radio ads and rows of yard signs kept his supporters pushing as if waging a close race.

Mike Huckabee collected an amazing 11.4% votes considering that he kept his word and exited honorably and at just the right time.

Based on the stories I've gathered, a number of conservative Republicans stayed home un-enamored with the "presumptive" nominee and under-enthused by the direction the party is going. I can believe that, based on how the returns by precint were coming.

Operation Chaos was also at play from among Rush Limbaugh listeners. In my county alone, some 5,000 voters have switched their party affiliation. Undeniably, this is also a race and gender motivated election.

One thing missed by those who stayed home biting their fingers, and those who voted with scheme or compromise in mind -- is voting for some lower and more local legislative positions. Pardon me if I sound consternating but although certain candidates may be unopposed during primary, a number of faith-filled and courageous candidates run very challenging races. To top it off, not to be undermined but not widely publicized candidates include Party Committee members who were also on the ballot; as well as delegates and alternate delegates to the convention. These are unpaid positions but they are motivated members who can greatly determine the course of the election process.

Anyway, if you like numbers, here's a link to the figures of the state of the State of Pensylvania voters for whatever it's worth: http://www.dos.state.pa.us/elections/lib/elections/055_voter_registration_statistics/currentstats/currentvotestats.xls

Let us go on to November 4 with courage, hope and integrity.
