CONGRESS RETURNS TO WORK: TIME FOR ACTION ON HEALTH CARE REFORM!
Congress returned to work this week after an August recess dominated by contentious debates on health care reform. Now, it is time for action.
Click here to call your Senators and tell them enough politicking, it's time to get real health reform done.
We've already made historic progress. Three committees in the House have passed strong health reform bills and referred them to the floor. And the late Senator Kennedy's Committee has passed a strong bill as well.
Still, some in the Senate are waffling and asking for more time. Give them a call and tell them to support Kennedy's bill that will lower our health care costs, improve our coverage, and give us the choice of a public health insurance option.
Call your Senators right now, when your call can make the most impact! You will fill out a quick form with your call back phone number. You will receive a call back to connect you to your Senator.
We've waited long enough. We can get real reform done this year. Call your Senators today and make them do it!

By the way, what does this have to do with educating children in public schools
The NEA is to quality education as the UAW is to quality autos.
The NEA gets an “F” AGAIN!
I’ve bargained scores of labor contracts for boards of education in the midwest, and am very familiar with the kind of gold-plated cadillac health care plans most unionized teachers enjoy. NEA members are really going to be tickled when they realize that those plans will almost certainly be subject to punishing taxes under Obamacare.
If Obamacare tries to EXEMPT such unionized health insurance programs, and taxes others, there will be an explosion of rage by those paying the bill.

It has nothing to do with education, and everything to do with paying back the Big O for his union support...If Obama said sh** is good on salad, the NEA would ask cafeteria workers to do some pooper-scooping and add that to the school salads...
