Also consider networking with your constituent representative and senator. Have a couple hundred parents working with their legislators to education them and inform them of your concerns, then you start building relationships.

Well, for the most part I think you nailed it, we can “spread the word, vote and pray.” Besides that we can support organizations and people that have the time and resources to fight back on our behalf, like the HSLDA. We can also call our representatives and let them know how we feel about existing regulations. Usually, when new regulations are introduced, homeschoolers fight, but if the regulations pass we just let it go. I think that is the wrong answer. We should let our congressmen know every single day just how displeased we are until their restrictions are overturned.

Networking is also important. We should connect with other homeschoolers through blogs and social media. If homeschooling restrictions are introduced in other states we should unite with those homeschoolers. Then we can ask for their help when regulations are introduced in our own states. After all, we are in this together!

I hope that gives you some ideas. Thanks for commenting and raising the question.
