Join Us – How to Reach Out in Twitter Rally or Video to #STOPESEA   2 comments

Missouri Education Watchdog, Patriot Journalist Network (PJN) and other groups are leading a #STOPESEA rally tonight (all day, too, and all weekend).  Please join.  There are so many Congressmen to contact.  Click here to join.

Twitter is easy, for those who’ve never tweeted.  Click here for a free account.  https://twitter.com   Here’s a link to all of the twitter addresses of the U.S. Congress, or see the list below.: https://www.thomasmore.org/us-senate-twitter-account-list/

Use the hashtag #STOPESEA in every tweet.  Even if you have zero followers, you can still tweet to anyone with an account.  You just say “at” someone to tag them.  For example, tag Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan by writing @PRyan or @RepPaulRyanVP.

Patriot Journalism Network has the twitter addresses for all the House reps:  https://twitter.com/DataGenesis/lists/us-house-r/members

… and here’s their directory, so you can click on each name and get information on each individual rep: http://www.house.gov/representatives/

If you upload a video version of your #STOPESEA message to YouTube or a blog, it may be even better.  I love each of the #STOPESEA videos that are circulating right now, but this one is especially effective because it is directed specifically at those who will vote in a few days on ESEA.

In the video, Utah mom Laureen Simper says to  her D.C. representatives:

“Utah Representatives, should you be asked to vote for any legislation which you haven’t read? Your default setting should be no.  As our representatives, representing us, these bills affect the lives of people, real people– real children, real families.  You have no business voting for something that you haven’t had a chance to read. The purpose of law is not to abolish or to restrain freedom but to enlarge and preserve it… You have no business voting on something that you haven’t read, that hasn’t been open to public scrutiny, and you certainly have no business impacting our lives by voting  yes to something that has been rushed through with an air and a shroud of secrecy….Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and instead of preparing dinner for the sixteen people I have coming, I am trying to figure out to post a video of myself, to take time to plead with my representatives… Please stop listening to the so-called experts and listen to the families who you represent.”
