Mark your calendars! School Choice Event on Groundhog Day Feb 2, 2012

School Choice Week is January 22 through 28, 2012. Since our Presidential Preference Primary is January 21, we’ll be participating in our own events a week later. Please mark your calendars for Thursday, February 2 when the Spartanburg Tea Party will host some national school choice policy experts and speakers, including a few familiar SC guests! Our event will be held at Cleveland Park.

Join the Spartanburg Tea Party and FreedomWorks as we host a rally in support of school choice and education reform in South Carolina on February 2, 2012. FreedomWorks has teamed up with local tea party groups and pro-school choice groups to see that we have real education reform and that we take back the education of our kids from the establishment. Join FreedomWorks chairmen Dick Armey, and FreedomWorks Campaigns Coordinator David Spielman and others as we make our voices heard and send a message to law makers that “enough is enough.” This event will be action packed and give you the opportunity to get involved and pick up materials that will help in passing this important reform. Please RSVP to David Spielman at dspielman@freedomWorks.org. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at this important event!

Tentative Agenda:

6:30 – 6:55 p.m. – Dessert Reception

6:55 p.m. – Video from Senator Jim DeMint

Karen Martin, Spartanburg Tea Party

David Spielman, FreedomWorks- How we can get school choice?

Chad Connelly, South Carolina GOP/SCRG

Keynote: Dick Armey, FreedomWorks – The importance of school choice

Oh … Ground Hog Day? Well come and see our take on how a repetition of events, the same events over and over, didn’t work for Bill Murray and doesn’t work for our children in South Carolina either :)

    We will be attending the rally supporting school choice and education reform n South Carolina this evening (2/2/2012) at Cleveland Park in Spartanburg, SC.
    We are the parents of 5 children that NEVER spent a day in the public school system. We have 21 grandchildren, 15 in SC, 3 in TN, and 3 in MI. My wife taught 18 years in our public high schools, the last 13 yrs in a very supportive environment. The school had a strong administrative staff that backed her with solid, consistant discipline.

    We have raised 5 children in South Carolina private Christian schools, the ultimate School Choice in SC. We do not regret the sacrifice it took to pay tuitions while paying state and local taxes for the government schools. Our 5 children now have 21 children to educate as they would choose but don’t see a way to fund tuitions. Some are stay-at-home moms and home school, while two are using the Charter Virtual School option. All the while they question why they can’t receive a tax credit during the time they are providing the education of their children and not the local public school teacher(s).
