Please call your US Senators and ask them to sign on to Senator Grassley's letter to discontinue funds for Common Core. I suggest you read the attached letter and then call your US Senator's office. Ask them to sign on to the letter and ask how you can send a copy directly to their email. Let them know you will be calling Sen. Grassley in a week to see what Senators have signed the letter. Then please make sure you do just that. If your Senators have not signed the letter call them back and if they are up for elected (IE Sen. Lamar Alexander, Sen. Marco Rubio etc.) remind them you will express your displeasure at the ballot box in November if they do not support Senator Grassley efforts.

Senator Grassley is circulating the attached Dear Colleague letter seeking cosigners for the attached letter to the leaders of the Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee asking that they include language in their next appropriations bill to block the further use of any federal funds by the U.S. Secretary of Education to incentivize or otherwise coerce states into adopting and retaining the Common Core State Standards.This effort during last year’s appropriations cycle was not successful, but hopefully with increased awareness of this issue, more senators will sign on and we’ll see some action from the Appropriations Committee. Anything you can do to spread the word and encourage citizens to ask their senators to sign on to the letter would be appreciated. We are also working to line up a similar effort in the House, but right now there is only a Senate letter. The deadline for senators to sign the letter is close of business on April 3.
