We may periodically suggest contacting the Senate and House Education Committees regarding legislation related to home education issues. These are quick, at-your-fingertips lists of committees to serve as references. Brief and polite phone calls are most effective; personal stories can be particularly compelling. Mention if you are a constituent.
