REMINDER- Action Alert: House Republicans Wavering on Critical School Choice Legislation?By JGillman, Section News
While there is still a chance.
Just wanted to give everyone an update on last week's URGENT ACTION ALERT asking you to contact potentially wavering Republican House members to encourage them to support parental choice in our kids' education. The issue is such a slam dunk for Michigan parents and students even the Detroit News jumped on the bandwagon in yesterday's Sunday edition, opining that the "House Should Choose School Choice."
Just two months ago, lawmakers faced lifting the cap on charter schools. They did, after a heated fight. Now, they are mulling whether to expand virtual charter schools. Legislators should not place the interests of the education establishment above families who desire this alternative. Indeed, and Amen! Is it really that much to ask our self-described "conservative" lawmakers to put principle above self interest? Probably. So let's marry the two. They're hearing from the Debbie Squires of the world. They need to hear from you, too! The unofficial word out of Speaker Bolger's office is that a vote on Senate Bill 619 will come this week Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Please take a moment TODAY to contact your own state Representative and encourage him or her to vote YES on SB 619, to stand up to the MEA and to give hope and opportunities to every kid in Michigan. Last week's action alert identified about a dozen wobbly Republicans. If you haven't reached out to them, please do that as well. About half of the folks on that list have already heard your voice and plan to vote YES. We need them all! Today you can give them a shout and tie their principles to their self interest.
