Progressive Obama Fires A Warning Shot Across the Bow Of German Home Schooling Family Seeking Asylum In The United States For Religious Freedom

Home School Legal Defense Association.

Sis, Of Obama's Department of Homeland Security, is reported to have said German Home Schooling family isn't welcome in the United States, while Obama's Eric Holder, from Fast & Furious fame, is said to argue that German law banning home schooling does not violate the family’s human rights . . . it just throws the parents in jail.

They both report to Barack H. Obama, the president who openly surrounded himself with Czars in 2009. Many progressive Americans obviously want more of Alinsky-bred socialism from the results of the November 2012 election, delighted 2016 is also just around the corner for Hillary to step into Obama's boots.

Holder says they needed to go. The German parents are stunned, thinking they would find freedom of religion in the United States that had been denied them in Germany. The Deutschland is where home schooling can result in parents being thrown in jail and the children removed from the parent's custody. One wonders if these German homeschoolers were part of Obama's undocumented Democrats, (aka illegal aliens), they would have been welcomed with open arms.

"The Romeike family fled their German homeland in 2008 seeking political asylum in the United States – where they hoped to home school their children. Instead, the Obama administration wants the evangelical Christian family deported.

The fate of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike – along with their six children – now rests with the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals – after the Dept. of Homeland Security said they don’t deserve asylum. Neither the Justice Dept. nor the Dept. of Homeland Security returned calls seeking comment.

'The Obama administration is basically saying there is no right to home school anywhere,' said Michael Farris, founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association. 'It’s an utter repudiation of parental liberty and religious liberty.'

The Justice Dept. is arguing that German law banning home schooling does not violate the family’s human rights." . . . Read More

Now the family is trying to get Obama's personal attention, (good luck, non-wealthy Hollywood citizens have the same problem), in an appeal to the president that needs 100,000 signatures to force the president to . . . wait for it . . . listen to their appeal.

Click on the above graphic to sign the petition before the April 17th deadline. They need 24,000 signatures as of today's date.

 

Focus on the Family Executive: Homeschool Asylum Case “Critical”

"Focus on the Family spokesman and Truth Project founder Dr. Del Tackett yesterday declared his support for HSLDA’s efforts to defend the Romeike family. Tackett believes that the U.S. government is siding with the restrictive homeschooling laws in Germany and that this could have serious implications for American homeschoolers.

'[The U.S. government] doesn’t believe that parents have a right to educate their children,' Tackett said. 'It is more in line with the National Education Association that homeschooling shouldn’t be allowed. It believes that the government can best educate ‘America’s children.’ It doesn’t want another worldview taught in this country. It wants America’s children to have one worldview and one worldview only.'

In 2008, the Romeikes fled their home in Germany after facing fines and jail time and came to the U.S. seeking asylum, but now, the Obama Administration is opposing their quest for asylum by saying homeschooling is too vague and amorphous to be protected under asylum law. Their case is now set to be argued in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on April 23 by HSLDA Chairman Mike Farris.

In addition to representing the family in court, HSLDA has also launched a petition on WhiteHouse.gov calling on the Obama Administration “grant full and permanent legal status to Uwe and Hannelore Romeike and their children.”

Tackett applauded the petition and urged people to sign it. 'This will be the first time that I have advocated signing a petition, but I believe this is a critical issue, one that is being played out behind big media coverage and one that could put a deep chill in the rights of parents in this country to determine the educational direction of their children,' he said.

'We are appreciative of the support from Focus on the Family and encourage others to get behind these modern day Pilgrims who came to America to seek religious freedom for themselves and their children,' said Farris.

What will America look like under a second Obama presidency? If you don't have a clue, you better find one! Check alpha by state/city where this film is playing before November 6, 2012. Unofficial bio of Gerald R. Molen. A picture is worth a thousand words! This photo was not actually aT the White House, but, regardless of WHERE it was taken, the fact is that he cancelled the National Day of Prayer, said that we are no longer a Christian nation, and has no problem taking part in Muslim prayer. U.S. President Barack Obama bows to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio at MacDill Air Force Base on January 28, 2010, in Tampa, Florida. Iorio had honored CAIR annually in Tampa with its own day in November 2008, acknowledging the large amout of Muslims living in the area. "Ayers, now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, claims to abhor nostalgia ("Nothing is more boring than some old person going on and on about the way things used to be"). But he has been thinking lately about the past—both his and the country's—and soon he will likely be engaged in what he calls "a dialogue" about the sixties, the antiwar movement, and the radical life he led. The spur for this dialogue will be the publication of Fugitive Days (Beacon Press, $24), a memoir Ayers has written about the trajectory of his life, from a pampered son of the Chicago suburbs to a young pacifist to a founder of one of the most radical political organizations in U.S. history." Allow video to download and start in Window's Media player. “The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama ‘O.’”
