OVERRIDE OF EDUCATION BUDGET VOTE

We need your immediate help!

The President has vetoed the Fiscal Year 2008 Education Appropriations bill. This bill contains critical programs including: special and early childhood education, dropout prevention and student aid for the college bound.

NJEA is appealing to Congress to stand up for children and public schools by overriding the President’s veto. Therefore, we are asking both Democrats and Republicans to work together to override the veto when it comes up for a vote prior to Thanksgiving recess.

We are urging all local leaders to call their Congressional office (either their DC or District phone number) stressing a “yes” vote to override. The phone list for the Congressional offices is below.

Your calls and help are greatly appreciated as the time frame for action is very short.

Thank you.
