Help Us Reach Members of Congress

Based on what we’ve read in the news, as well as what we hear from D.C. (whatever that means), we’ve selected several Senators and Representatives most likely to help us replace NCLB with educator-led reform.

We believe they could use some national encouragement.

We suggest mailing the representatives in your state and then sending the same letter to two democrats and two republicans on our list. If you want to send more than five, please do so. Send 10, 15, 20. It’s a matter of printing, signing, stamping, and sending...and then asking 10 of your friends to do the same thing.

In order to make it easier for you, we’ve provided mailing addresses below, and we’ve written a letter that you can download and print. In keeping with the spirit of our movement, we invite you to refine the letter, or to write your own.

Find and write your state and local representative a letter with the help of the CTA.

Without the participation of each of you, this campaign will be meaningless, as a few dozen letters here and there will do little to turn heads. A few bags of mail however, will certainly garner attention. Please place the initials ER somewhere on the envelope, as we want people to know this is a coordinated effort.
