It looks like those of us who homeschool in Alabama have another battle to fight:  Keeping our kids in sports like lacrosse.  They are changing the requirements for high schoolers playing lacrosse, and the ones who will lose are the students who are private schooled and homeschooled. For those of us in the greater Huntsville area, the first person I recommend contacting is Phil Williams, the new District 6 Reprentative.  He is open to education of all types, and should be wiling to help us with this.  His website is: http://www.votephilwilliams.com/Site/Welcome.html

It didn't take me long to decide that this is a difficult way to write/read an ongoing set of writings...For those of you who stay up on these things better than I do, it probably comes as no surpise that I decided what I really needed to do was set up a blog.  And my apologies to do of you like me who were quite content when electronic communication was all done through emails!  Oh, the "good old days"...In less than 6 months I've joined facebook, twitter, and now the blogging world.  And most of those came out of fighting CPSIA!  So, I will leave this page up as long as the information on it is still current, but most (possibly all) future civics lessons will take place at: http://clccivicslessons.blogspot.com/

And it only took me a little longer to get into the Twitter world -- a great way to keep up with Politics!  I now have two Twitter accounts:  cmmjaime, where I mostly "talk politics" and clcalabama, where I focus on more homeschooling related talk!
