5. I called several Republican Senators.

After I was through calling Democratic Senators, I called Sasse, Murkowski, Collins, McCain, and Graham and left messages pointing out that there are many good public school teachers and administrators who are Republicans, and I suggested that they nominate one of THEM to be Secretary of Education. ( I also called Jeff Sessions's office to register my disapproval of his remark about working with disabled children being "irritating" to teachers-totally false). Who else should I call? Any ideas?

6. Your senators - your own reps mostly need to hear from you.

You can call others but most are primarily concerned w/ what their own constituents think. Give them your zip code when you call. Sometimes it's important to call Senators on various committees such as the Senate Judiciary Committee - esp if they're your senators. But Sessions nomination has already been moved to the full Senate.

THANK YOU for calling them!

8. the GOP senator from ND

Heidi Heitkamp said that 95% of her calls were against Betsy DeVos. Let's convince her GOP counterpart.

11. Done. Thank you.

A polite young man answered the phone. He seemed to like my idea about getting a good Republican public school administrator for the job.

12. Thom Tillas NC: A facebook post suggested, so I called.

I just left a message; his office answers with "6342 is on the phone....please leave a message after the tone." This Facebook poster just said he is rumored to be wavering. That is 202-224-6342.

13. Thank you! Anyone in NC should call Tillis! n/t

9. we really need Repigs to defect over.

if they have the spines for it.

10. There isn't going to be a third Republican vote against DeVos.

The other two would have never come out against her if they knew they didn't have the votes.

15. Churchill: Never never never never never give up.

You don't know for sure. It looked impossible to defeat the Axis powers during WW II, for quite awhile.
