ANKENY, Iowa – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign
announced today the latest families to join the “Homeschoolers for Ron
Paul” nationwide coalition.
In statements below, family representatives express their support for
the 12-term Congressman from Texas, characterizing him as a champion of
education freedom and Christian principles.
With four girls and four boys, the Charles family of Murray has been
homeschooling for over 12 years. Christopher Charles offered the
following statement:
“Raising our children up ‘in the nurture and admonition of the Lord’ is
a Biblical command we take very seriously. This command is the
primary
reason why my wife and I homeschool our eight children. Ron
Paul’s
flawless record in Congress on issues of individual freedoms is one of
the many reasons we strongly support Dr. Paul for President of the
United States. Without the guarantee of freedom that Ron Paul
staunchly defends, our freedom to homeschool our children faces great
uncertainty.”
Bob and Janie Toomey of Runnels are proud parents of four children
spanning ages 10 to 18 years of age and have been teaching their
children since birth. The parents wrote, “Supporting Ron Paul
for president is a matter of staying consistent with our homeschooling
principles, such as the freedom to teach our children our religious
beliefs, which in turn affect our daily life choices.”
“Supporting Ron Paul is supporting healthy economic freedom and
personal responsibility. Lastly, supporting Ron Paul
is standing alongside a fellow Constitutionalist who understands what
is at stake for this country, ourselves, and our posterity,” added Mr.
and Mrs. Toomey.
Summarizing her support, six-year home educator Michelle Brookhart of
Windsor Heights said, “As a Christian and homeschooling mother of six,
Ron Paul
supports all the things I could have ever hoped for in a presidential
candidate: peace, freedom, protection of life, and support for home
education. While the other candidates seem to just say what they
think
people want to hear to get elected, Dr. Paul
is standing up for what he believes in and has a plan to get our nation
back on its feet. My children are so near and dear to me, so I
have a
vested interest in their future. With Ron Paul, I finally feel
this future can be a bright one.”
