"It may not always be easy, convenient, or politically correct to stand for truth and right, but it is the right thing to do. Always."
--M. Russell Ballard
Background
Welcome to the CHESCA Political Action Committee's Homepage!
When home educators join CHESCA, they get value for their membership fee. One part of that value is the CHESCA Political Action Committee. This is what the CHESCA PAC does in regard to home education in Ohio:
- Track and respond to events concerning any legal or legislative activity in Ohio
- Track and respond to media opportunities and engagements
- Report to CHESCA members legal or legislative events that merit their consideration
- Research and analyze any political candidates that would support home education
- Report to CHESCA members the needs of good solid candidates in their campaigns
- Informational Meetings
- Workshops, complete with written materials including How To articles
- Free information on the website, as the website is developed
CHESCA PAC Endorsements Primary Election 2010
CHESCA Members,
Below are
recommendations that have been researched by the CHESCA PAC Committee for your
consideration. Please read this BEFORE
you go to the polls on Tuesday. The CHESCA PAC would also like you to know, there has been unbelievable pressure from the Ohio Republican Party to marginalize the campaigns of conservatives running in state congressional races. Also, certain pro-life organizations have put their stamp of approval on candidates that had less pro-life experience and activity in the "trenches" than others running in the same primary. Therefore, the CHESCA PAC will proudly stand behind MATT MILLER for the 16th Congressional District primary race! Please spread the word to other pro-life home schoolers that Matt is a proven pro-life leader that deserves their vote.
In addition, here are two reference points:
The polls are open from 6:30AM to 7:30PM, so go vote.
Stark County Board of Elections number is (330) 451-8683.
- This is a primary, which means you will be given a ballot for Republican or Democrat, depending on how you are registered with the Board of Elections. All candidates, listed herein, are Republican, only because there were no legitimate Democratic candidates who supported our World View.

Volunteering opportunities
We provide all this and more as our base of dedicated volunteers grows. We want to give CHESCA members the best possible advantage when they have to engage their politicians. We also want to give them the best possible return for their membership dollars.
You will notice to the right some current events and issues we are tracking. Bringing information like this to our members gives them the distinct advantage of being "in the know" on issues relevant to them. Ohioans are quick to respond to situations and Stark County home educators are no different. Please consider becoming a member of CHESCA and staying informed!
The Political Action Committee has put together a brochure to briefly explain areas where we would like to be productive.
