TEN REASONS TO ATTEND THE AUG. 3 - 5 SAVE OUR SCHOOLS CONVENTION
Last year I helped organize the Save Our Schools March and National Call to Action in Washington DC. I am no longer involved in the leadership, and have a number of personal conflicts with this year's schedule. I am neverthless urging you to consider attending.
