WE NEED 3 SENATORS TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES TO PREVENT DeVos FROM BEING CONFIRMED!!!
The vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Sec of Education was delayed. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, according to an advisory from the committee.
And now to act (esp my ME, GA, NC and SC friends)! Betsy DeVos is up for confirmation as U.S. Education Secretary, and many, many educators have expressed strongly that she is not qualified to ensure quality education in this country.
Please consider calling one of the following Republican Senators (key in the confirmation vote) to express your opinion on the appointment. At least 3 of these need to be convinced in order to block DeVos’ nomination. Don’t email. Don’t tweet. Don’t complain on Facebook. Call them!

IF the state is one you live in call. They don’t really have reason to listen if they don’t represent you.
If your state is not listed here, signal boost.
Target those first three. Most likely to be sane. Maybe Enzi and Cassidy, but I’m not as familiar with them.

I wanna see this get a million notes before he leaves office.
My boy !
January 19th’s the last day we can reblog, so don’t miss your opportunity!
My President also has dignity, class, and deserves respect. Say it while we still can!
My President is Black. He is well-travelled and well-read and amazingly smart. He has been a college professor teaching the Constitution, and he has been a community organizer helping exploited communities get a bigger voice in politics, and helped to deal with the environmental racism that leaves massive lead deposit and toxic waste leavings in historically Black communities in the Chicago area.
My President is an eloquent writer who is open and straightforward about his bi-ethnic background, loving and caring to all sides of his family, and because of his travel as a child is very open-minded and empathetic to many cultures.
My President has been married to one woman since the mid 90s. She is also highly educated and qualified, and she was in fact once his boss for a little while. There has never been any suggestion of sexual impropriety or cheating, no one has ever accused either of assault. They have two daughters. I have no doubt that Barack and Michelle will fight to the death against anyone who tries to reduce Malia and Sasha to their sexual object value. (unlike our upcoming disaster, who seems fine with talking about his own daughters in terms of their sexual object value even when they were babies, and HOW FUCKING FUCKED UP IS THAT)
My President is Black. This is Black Love, Black Excellence, Black Family Values, Black Leadership.
(I’m not Black. I say that because I want to stand up as a not-black person and say that the first Black president has been the best president in my lifetime, and I’m almost 50.)
