Mad as hell and not going to take it any more? Have we got an outlet for you!
If you click on over to the WEA website and look in the bar on the right hand side, you'll see a button with an American flag that says "Contact Congress Now!" Click it, and you'll be taken to the NEA's Legislative Action Center, where you can email your US Senators and Representatives to let them know what you think about the education issues of the day, including the upcoming reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind act.
It's amazing how easy they've made it. By typing in your zip code they'll be able to direct an email to your representative; you can either type in your own thoughts or click on phrases that work for you and they'll get dropped right into the body of the message. There are also links to official NEA positions on issues like merit pay, which could be a great resource for those out there working on their graduate credentials.
You can be heard in three minutes, and that's power.
(Note: Please only send political emails from your home computer!)
