URGENT PHONE CALLS NEEDED! THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF SESSION! STOP COMMON CORE!

[Donna Rogers, Florida State Dir]

URGENT PHONE CALLS NEEDED!   THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF SESSION! STOP COMMON CORE! Common Core, the  nationalized education   program coming out of DC, will not only affect public schools, but   will have enormous ramifications on home schools, private schools, private   universities and colleges and fundamentally transform our children and their   view of America forever.   Common Core is to education what Obamacare is to  health care. We   must stop it now.  Other states have stopped it by pulling   together.  Pull! Phone   Calls needed tomorrow please. SB878   – (Which contains the Common Core directives) Has passed the Senate and   House with an Amendment.  You can click   HERE   for an analysis from Dr. Karen Effrem and some events concerning Senator   Galvano.  This bill was sent to the House and passed with an amendment.   It is now in special committee to resolve the amendment issue. SB1630-   This is a good bill sponsored by Senator Legg that has   some language requiring load testing prior to implementation of Common Core.    We are requesting a financial analysis be completed prior to   implementation and a long-term maintenance analysis to determine the long   term cost of Common Core.  This will buy us some time and reveal that   actual cost of the program which we feel is an unfunded mandate.   Here is action plan for this week: Contact the special committee members for SB878 Ask for an amendment to include a short term and long term financial        analysis of the cost of Common Core prior to being implemented.  Call Reps.        Fresen- 850-717-5114  Adkins-850-717-5011   Bileca- 850-717-5115           Fitzenhagen-850-717-5078     Nunez-850-717-5119            Perry-850-717-5021            Pigman-850-717-5055     Taylor-850-717-5026. Call Senator Legg and ask him to amend his bill, SB1630, to include a short term and        long term financial analysis of the cost of Common Core prior to being   implemented. "It's important that the citizens know the cost of        this program". Call both numbers 850-487-5017, and 813-909-9919. We need 100 calls to his office tomorrow, (Tuesday or        Wednesday). Call Senate and House Leadership and ask for an 18 month moratorium on Common Core legislation.         (senate numbers below) Call Governor Scott’s office [phone], and ask him to NOT sign SB 878 but rather to do a        moratorium on Common Core legislation at this time.    Senators contacts   can be found on page 2 below: Aaron Bean (R) [phone] Alan Hays (R) [phone] [e-mail] Andy Gardiner (R) [phone] [e-mail] Anitere Flores (R) [phone] [e-mail] Arthenia L.
