House Education Bill Vote Tomorrow!

Passing this on from the National Women's Law Center, because I can't say it any better:

"Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will have the opportunity to stand up for children and families when they vote on H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009. This bill includes an important new initiative that will encourage states to expand disadvantaged children’s access to high-quality early learning opportunities. Under this Early Learning Challenge Fund initiative, states that put in place the essential elements necessary to support strong early learning programs for children from zero to five will be rewarded with grants to finance their work. States that are committed to improving their early learning programs but need to do more will also receive support."

They're also blogging on this bill over at Politics K-12, so check it out, then make the call (or email, or twitter, or whatever you're using these days!)

Which reminds me - I'm on Twitter now too. Click the link on the upper right hand corner of this page to follow me. Thanks to Julie, the genius behind Writing Roads, for inspiring me!
