Democrat Walkout Has
Not Killed HB 1003!
Even though 39 of the 40 Democrats in the House of Representatives have refused to return to the House to vote on key bills including a new 2 year state budget, the battle is not over to pass the budget and a choice scholarship bill!
House Bill 1003 is eligible for consideration by the entire House this week!
Speaker of the House Brian Bosma is a co-author of House Bill 1003!
Why Do We Need House Bill 1003?
At Advance America we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to get a first class, world class education!
It’s a Parent’s Responsibility!
Parents are responsible for raising their children and not the government!
Parents know what is best for their child!
Parents know what the best educational setting is for their child!
Money Should Follow The Child!
The money that is provided to educate a child should follow the child! If the parents want to choose the public school in their area, another public school, a charter school or a Christian school they should be able to and the money should follow the child!
House Bill 1003 – A Good First Step!
House Bill 1003 has been introduced by Representatives Bob Behning and Brian Bosma. It would provide choice scholarships to families to help their child attend a private school if their family meets certain income requirements. The private school would still be free to operate as they have in the past with regard to their internal operation.
Action Plan!
Step #1: Please call or email your Representative with the following message:
“Please Vote YES on House Bill 1003 to help parents choose the best school – including a private school – for their children.”
Step #2: If your Representative is a Democrat (other than Representative Steve Stemler who did not join the Democrat walkout!) please call or email them and ask them to return to the State House!
