From Charlotte Cushman personally –
I met Curtis and Jenny Bostic in January, after Curtis personally contacted me about talking to some of the homeschoolers here in Beaufort County. They have five children and have homeschooled for fifteen years. I have been enthusiastically supporting his campaign here ever since! I am convinced that our district needs a leader who is well-spoken has moral courage and the ability to do the right thing under pressure. As you may have noticed, we have run a very positive campaign. Our goal is to glorify the Lord in the election and we ask that you would help us by supporting Curtis!
Curtis is a believer who has a heart for the Lord. He is an elder at Charleston Bible Church http://www.charlestonharborbiblechurch.org/ and on the board at the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center http://www.lcbcc.org/cms/, as well as the founder and director of Remember, a non-profit organization which currently provides aid in six of the most oppressive countries in the world and operates two orphanages in Burma.
He is unashamedly pro life, he believes that the Declaration and the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly give the federal government the authority and the duty to protect the most defenseless among us…the unborn.
Another important thing about Curtis is that he served in the Marine Corps and served in combat during Operation Desert Storm. We desperately need more people with this experience as the number of veterans serving in congress continues to decline…from 80% in 1977 down to 19 % of members in congress today .
Curtis believes that the answer to our nation’s problems is to return to the safe harbor of the United States Constitution and the limited government. He believes that our spending is a huge problem and the cure is a return to powers authorized for spending under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
He is a small business owner, a lawyer and served on Charleston County Council for eight years. While he was there Charleston did not experience a single tax increase and Charleston County enjoyed a balanced budget every year.
I would love it if you would please go to his website stopspending.com and check him out for yourself.
You can find a facebook page dedicated to his Beaufort County campaign here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Beaufort-for-Bostic/466898493359615
I would be so honored if you will stand with me tomorrow and vote for this godly man.

MORE INFORMATION
More information concerning the Stanford Achievement Tests is located below:
The Stanford Achievement Test is a nationally recognized test used by educators across the U.S. As a norm-referenced test, the Stanford-10 not only offers the home educator information on their student’s achievement, it also provides comparisons based on nationwide test results.
Contents of Stanford Testing:
Grades 1-2: Word study skills, vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, listening, math, environment
Grade 3: Vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, listening, social studies, math, language, science
Grade 4-12: Vocabulary, comprehension, spelling, listening, social studies, math, language, science, study skills
CC Testing Services believes that standardized testing is an important part of preparing our children for college entrance exams, as well as whether your state mandates testing or not.
We take a very pragmatic attitude towards testing: the actual test’s content is not as important as the skill of test taking. We have chosen to offer the Stanford because most private schools accept their scores for entry, and it is great preparation for the SAT and the ACT tests. Stanford tests also provide parents with reliable data for evaluating progress in language and math skills.
Parents will receive a complete test analysis and are responsible for compliance with their state’s educational laws.
Once again, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
