WE HAVE 24 HOURS - ACT NOW

 

 

 

In November Hoosier voters made history when 3.1 million cast ballots to elect Glenda Ritz, Democrat, as Superintendent of Public Instruction.  We have made our voices heard every day since the November Election, carrying our support of PUBLIC education loudly throughout the legislative session.  It appears we may still have a chance to put an end to the Daniels/Bennett agenda and stop Representative Bob Behning from further implementing and ramrodding ALEC legislation down our throats.  We MUST act now!  Over the next 24 hours, we can make one last push to bring the largest of his destructive measures to an end.  We CAN STOP VOUCHER EXPANSION!!

 

Here is what we needs to happen. . .

 

Bob Behning, yes the florist turned education expert,  wants $$MORE MONEY$$ for vouchers and he wants to include D & F schools as "failing" to be eligible for them.

Therefore, with a change in the senate version, voucher concurrence will more than likely have to go back through both houses.

 

WE can still win in the Indiana Senate.

We currently need 3 NO votes. Several Senators are on RECORD stating that they would vote NO if the House added any money or changed the bill.

Well - they did. The voucher bill "could" cost Indiana $100 million in less than 5 years with a flawed A-F system, and Common Core forcing private schools to comply!  Do you know a Tea Party patriot alive today that is FOR ANY of that.

Get on the phone. Get on your computers. NEVER SAY NEVER!

Indiana is known for Common Sense - let's remind our legislators to use IT!!!

We can stop the largest voucher bill in America and come up with sensible "reform" that doesn't bankrupt our local PUBLIC schools, and base funding on flawed ALEC A-F models that are being rebuked across America.

In New York, and other states across the country, parents are OPTING out of state testing and threatening to shut down school compliance. In Florida, teachers are suing the state as French teachers don't like being graded for 10th grade math scores on testing. In Texas, the state that kicked off this "miracle of reform," the legislature voted NO on vouchers!!!!!

Call, write, email and get 3 friends to do it before Thursday!!!!!

There's a chance here to stop the literal destruction of YOUR public school. You can help. Do something. Do it now!

IF 3 Senators change their vote, this bill is DEAD this session.

Let's make history again and put this awful bill out of play for this session!!!!
 



Contact ALL Senators and then make a specific call to State Senator Rodric Bray. Ask them to vote against the expanded (Behning additions) voucher bill. Senator Bray of Martinsville may very well be the vote needed to STOP VOUCHER EXPANSION.

Remember the Tuesday Tattler 10? They need to be reminded Those who voted NO before, need to Vote NO again, and those who voted YES need to understand the repercussions of their actions on our PUBLIC SCHOOLS
