March, 2014Congratulations! Your great and diligent work of calling, writing and visiting your legislators is paying off! Another three representatives have signed on to HB 25 by Representative Debbie Mayfield (R-Vero Beach), a bill to pause Common Core! Please thank via email or phone (contact information is available at the following links) these representatives:
Rep. Ben Albritton (R - Wachula)
Rep. Heather Dawes Fitzenhagen (R - Fort Meyers)

Now as the momentum continues to build, we need to pressure the committee chairmen and chairwoman to hear these bills. Please contact the following legislators and politely, but firmly demand hearings for both HB 25 and SB 1316.
Rep. Marlene O'Toole - House K-12 Policy Committee
Rep. Erik Fresen - House Education Appropriations Subcommittee
Senator John Legg - Senate Education Committee
Senator Bill Galvano - Senate Education Appropriations Subcommittee
Do not accept the lies that the minor tweaks, the deceptive name change, removing reference to Common Core in statutes, a different test that is still testing Common Core or a privacy bill that relies on non-existent protection from a gutted federal law have fixed the problems.
Thank you for all you are doing to protect the hearts and minds of our children.
