That translates into at least a $1,700 credit.
That's not including all Americans who don't even make $85,000 who can claim a portion, and they can also make monthly contributions.
So if they can't write a $1,700 check immediately,
They can actually do this on a monthly basis where it's about $141 per month versus $1,700.
But our personal belief is that we're gonna have to market this.
We need people to know about this.
And we think that we have a chance of actually raising billions of dollars at a national level and filling the seats in our schools, making sure that homeschool families have an opportunity.
Yeah, unfortunately, that was a part of this bill, which is not good.
And that is that although it's a federal bill, it does enable governors around the country to either opt in or opt out of the program.
And we know that in red states who tend to be more conservative, governors will absolutely opt in.
Our greatest challenge is going to be in blue states.
And by the way, it's not to say that blue governors, Democratic governors, will not opt in.
We actually know, for example, in Colorado, where ACE's home base is, we've had discussions already with Governor Jared Polis.
And he's actually been very bullish on school choice in the past, and he's already indicated that he will opt in this program.
So we really applaud his leadership as a Democrat.
We need more Democratic governors to do the same and also opt in.
The reality is it's about our children.
It's not about special interest groups.
So yes, we are chomping at the bit on this one here because we know it really can be transformational.
And we also know that education is the key to solving our problems.
