Help for Florida: Send a Message! |
|
50,000 Facebook Fans and many, many protests went unheard. After 2AM last night, the Florida legislature passed a bill to get rid of due process for continuing contracts for teachers and make it illegal to pay teachers for experience and advanced degrees! This is an old Jeb Bush plan carried out in a blitzkrieg by some of the craziest folks you've ever seen. Decades of bargaining, a GOP raid on the state retirement fund, and a racist dismantling of public schools is part of the plan!
Call, fax, or email Gov. Crist and tell him to Veto this bill! There is still hope and he is under pressure. Most newspapers have editorials, but we need national attention:
Call Crist: (850) 488-7146 Email Crist: Charlie.Crist@eog.myflorida.com Mail Gov. Crist by this Saturday! Office of the Governor Charlie Crist State of FL The Capitol 400 S. Monroe St., Tallahassee, FL 32399
VETO SB6 AND HB7189

we have more than 50,000 activists on Facebook, and some schools are calling for sick-outs. More than 90% are polling against the legislation, so maybe we can get Crist to veto it.
