My Brothers Are Famous
The Washington Post has a story today about the role of home-schoolers in boosting the campaign of Mike Huckabee and it specifically mentions my brothers and the role they played in getting Chuck Norris involved:
For Norris's boost, Huckabee can thank Brett and Alex Harris, 19-year-old twins and sons of an Oregon home-school activist named Gregg Harris. They started blogs to promote Huckabee and had the idea of sending e-mails to prominent conservatives, urging them to get behind the former Arkansas governor.Regardless of your political leaning, I think it's pretty cool that two teenagers with a blog can play a part in the election process. Okay, I'm just a proud older brother!One of the e-mails from the Portland pair was read to Norris, who climbed aboard, filming an ad that emphasized Huckabee's self-deprecating wit and his credentials as a social conservative and gun advocate.

That's pretty exciting! I didn't realize the connection between til I read all this on your site.
Just thought I'd mention - when our oldest daughter (now nearly 22 and married) was little, we did the '21 rules of this house.' One day she recited one of them and asked where it was in the Bible. When we told her it wasn't a Bible verse, she said, horrified, "Well - it SHOULD be!!"
Merry Christmas!
