[AAACE-NLA] A Different CAll To Action

[JoAnn Weinberger]

Hi Art,
 
This is certainly an activity individuals can carry out.  However, they
must not represent a non-profit for which they work since non-profits
may not support individual candidates.
 
How careful we must be!
 
JoAnn

A Different Call To Action

 

 Over the past two years we have been working with members of Congress
who were already in place when we started our campaigns for addition
resources for adult education. The next four weeks are critical to the
future composition of the US House and Senate. This will be a watershed
election in terms of the issues facing our country. 

 

 The time has come for us as adult educators to fulfill our
responsibilities to our students, our families and ourselves by publicly
declaring our support for the candidates of our choice and actively
working for their election. Each of us should contact the campaign
headquarters of our chosen candidate and volunteer to make telephone
calls, or drop literature or stand on a street corner with a sign.  

 

 At the very least each of us should be mailing at least 25 postcards to
a combination of our friends, co-workers, and family members stating "On
November 7 I will be voting for ............because ............. Please
join me in supporting ........ on Nov. 7".

 

Any of the actions above will make public the private decision that you
will carry out in the voting booth. Based upon the importance of this
election it is time for all of us to take the next steps.    Art Ellison
