DeVos Delayed:

The vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Sec of Education was DELAYED to Jan. 31.

Billionaire Betsy DeVos is up for confirmation as U.S. Education Secretary, and almost every educator I know has strongly expressed that she is NOT qualified to ensure quality childrens' education in this country.

Please consider CALLING [more effective than writing/petitions] one of the following Republican Senators (key in the confirmation vote) to express your opinion on the appointment. At least 3 of these need to be convinced in order to block DeVos' nomination. Don't email. Don't tweet. Don't complain on Facebook. Call them!

Then, PLEASE SHARE WIDELY:
If you live in one of the states represented below [On the Hearing Committee], PLEASE call YOUR Senator, If you don't, pick one and call him/her:
