Louisiana Activists & Anti-Common Core Movement

BE SURE TO WATCH BOTH YOU TUBE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!
ANGELA AND KAREN ARE FANTASTIC.  WISH WE HAD A GROUP LIKE THEIRS IN ALL STATES. ACTIVISTS LIKE ANITA HOGE AND OTHERS NEED HELP TOO.
GET ON BOARD WITH ACTIVISTS IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL STATES.


Louisiana activists write of some stunning successes:

Our FB post encouraging everyone to attend the committee hearing today in which all 3 of our bills will be debated.  If they pass committee, they "just" have to survive the Senate floor vote and they will become law:

"LA Citizens Are Making A Difference! Show up at the Capitol this morning around 9:00 to make your voices heard in Sen. Ed. Committee to get these important bills one step closer to becoming law: HB 1076, HB 988, HB 1199 and HB 1015 Senate meets upon adjournment, so there's no set time.
(taped last week)"

Louisiana leaders in the Anti-CC movement have recognized, thanks to your work and the work of your network, that the "conservative" lobby with their school choice agenda is a faux friend.  Many began expressing this over a FW email that they received asking for support of a School Choice bill.  The responses were exactly what we would hope they would be!

Please, pray for our efforts today in Senate Ed.  As you can imagine in relation to data privacy legislation, many have lined-up against us.  Please, pray for Rep. Schroder as he is working very hard to bring these bills across the finish line without losing the integrity of the bills through the process.  So far he has succeeded extremely well.
