Read these two excellent post by Larry & Susan Kaseman at HEM.

Convincing Others We Don't Want Homeschooling Legislation - Larry and Susan Kaseman, have some excellent ideas for safe guarding our homeschooling freedoms. They will even allow you to use their ideas in a brochure, spelling out why homeschoolers do not want homeschooling legislation.

Larry and Susan Kaseman ask Does Homeschooling Have To Be Political?
Homeschooling is perceived as a threat by The most powerful interest groups in our society: the educational establishment. That's conventional schools, teachers unions, textbook publishers, educational software people. Now that's a giant you don't want to upset. Really, we didn't mean to waken it. We just wanted to quietly homeschool our kids, just follow our principles and beliefs and let other people follow theirs. Isn't America the land of the free? Shouldn't we be able to do this? But upset the giant we did, big time!

If we are not vigilant the giant will swallow us hole, this post explains why every homeschooler has to be politically active.
