Homeschooling Advocate Runs for Governor

One of the more interesting proposals in this year's political races has surfaced in Alabama with the candidacy of Libertarian Loretta Nall, who is running for Governor of the state. Nall has proposed significant tax breaks for parents who decide to homeschool their children or send them to private schools. This is significant news since she opposes the voucher program. Tax credits, she says, are the answer.

No doubt the public school system is failing our children. The voucher program does nothing but keep the nose of government in the business of parents and their children. Nall's proposal helps families who wish to opt out of public education but do not want the government to control any part of the education of their children.

You can read all about this proposal, as well as the other planks in the Nall platform, by going to her website at www.nallforgovernor.com and clicking on the link on the left to 'platform.' It is a very interesting read and should be of great interest to those fed up with the Democrat/Republican scheme of growing big government.

Perhaps it is time for votes to give Libertarian candidates a new look....
