ALERT!

We are still in the fight against Common Core – it is coming down to the wire.

We only have a few weeks to make a difference and convince legislators that their reelections depend on passing a Pause Bill to stop Common Core for about 2 years and do the research.

Unfortunately Florida is having a much harder time than other states because this is ground zero for Jeb Bush.  He supports it because the big money supporters of CC are giving money to his non-profit.

We need to make enough noise that the legislators realize it is better for them to have us happy than Jeb Bush.

This meeting is coming up soon – it is on a Tuesday morning.

Statewide Common Core Meeting

February 18, 2014  –  9:00 AM   State Board of Education Meeting

Ronald Blocker Educational Leadership Center

445 W. Amelia St. (1st Floor)

Orlando, FL  32801

I know many work schedules conflict with this. But, this is a great reason to take a day off!

But if we don’t start making this a priority and fast, it will be too late and Common Core will be entrenched just like Obamacare.

We are asking everyone to attend the meeting and if you have enough people in your group, have some stationed outside for the media with signs.  Please don’t bring nasty or mean signs – keep them informational and brief like  “Common Core is dumbing down our students”, “Common Core cost is ridiculous”, “Common Core violates our children’s privacy”, “Stop Fed Ed”, “Stop Indoctrination”, “Local Control, not Federal”, “Entirely untested”, “Kids are Guinea Pigs”, “Follow the Money”, “Lack of Parental Input”, “Excessive Testing”, “Teaching for the Test”, “Lack of Quality”, “Cost to Taxpayers?”, “Early American History Not Taught”

We would like a large contingent both inside and outside.  Please contact every group you know in Florida and ask them to attend since this is a statewide meeting.  If you have media contacts, please let them know about this meeting.  

Please forward this to your friends and neighbors all over Florida! Suggest car pooling to all!  Invite your neighbor!  Call anyone  in radio, journalist who will make an announcement!  Invite your teachers who are off this day!

If you absolutely cannot go then please email everyone you know in the state of Florida with the announcement of this rally. Call or email your reps that they need to pay attention, that we are watching what they do about Common Core, that their reelection depends on what they do!

People are paying attention to what their children are bringing home on Common Core and to the fact that our children AND our country are at risk. Need a ride, call your friends!
