Call Your State Legislators And Save Our Schools

CCAFT is taking lots of teachers to Austin tomorrow if you can go and they are having press conferences and things in the afternoon.  If you, like me, need to be at work, tomorrow, though - you can still make a difference. Call your state senator and state representative and tell them to oppose bills that cut money from our schools, hurt teachers and gut class size-limits.  Tell them to use the Rainy Day Fund instead - it's raining! - and to look for additional sources of revenue like that soda tax they were talking about awhile back.  There is no excuse for cutting education - not ever.

Also, tell our legislators to oppose any measures that weaken or eliminate Texas' guarantee to fund our public schools at a level that will provide an education for all.  That's what is at stake.  These people who do not believe in public education must be stopped.
