Pennsylvania alert: Betsy De Vos
The confirmation hearing for Betsy DeVos has been delayed until the 17th. There are several rumors regarding why, and we take the delay as a positive sign.
As you know, Senator Casey is a member of the HELP committee that will hold the hearing.
Where does he stand on DeVos? We are not sure.
We need your help. Call his office and ask, and then let us know where he stands. Senator Casey needs to know that you expect him to lead the fight against the DeVos appointment.
After you call, collect signed letters, and hand deliver them to a nearby office.
Below is the list of local office locations, and local numbers to call Senator Casey.
If you want a script for your call, you can find it here.
If you want a model letter you can find one here. There is a letter you can download and easily personalize.
Just this morning, The New York Times ran a scathing piece about Betsy DeVos.
And here is a link to a story in the Washington Post Answersheet that shows how privatization is slowly destroying public education in Pennsylvania.

This is what Betsy DeVos represents.
