We need EVERYONE in this battle! I will be posting ideas, and
pleas for help every so often on here. The most immediate thing that
can be done, is participating in our "Walk a Day in Our Shoes" campaign.
Collect those shoes. Send them to the governors office November
13th. We need letters written to the statehouse. We also need
letters sent to the Civil Liberties Union. They need to hear
from us in the masses! When this hits the floor of the House and
Senate, we will need massive calls and letters made to the Legislators!
We have lots to do! Please email me with your specific questions!!
An Indiana Childcare Association has been long awaited! The
benefits are numerous! Uniting as family child care providers, takes
us off of our little islands, and helps encourage, strengthen, and promote
quality childcare! Insurance benefits can be obtained much easier,
and our united voice is heard much louder!! For many years, parents and
family home child care providers have not been properly
informed of the latest legislative changes that have affect our families.
Because of this, we have lost many of our rights. The
FSSA feels they can make better
decisions for your family than you can. They have continually gained
control of your families rights. It is time we gain back our family rights
so please help us unite and gain our family rights back. More
information coming soon!!
