Stand Up for EDUCATION IN AMERICA!!!

The Gates Foundation (Bill and Melinda Gates) have a mission! They are dedicated to changing the face of the American Education System. Please, please, STAND UP for our children...it affects all of us!

We have fallen to below the top 20 IN THE WORLD in terms of our education! (Kids in other countries could name the first 5 US presidents...the US kids COULD NOT!)
This is unbelievable! Give our excellent teachers a helping hand and get involved to make the government STAND UP and take notice.

This was on Oprah for 2 days this week. It was a wake-up call. We are in crisis! Drop-outs are at an all-time high and we are creating a generation of children that will not be ready for the work force (or college, or life or anything else!) GET INVOLVED.

If you go to the website, they've done a ton of work for you...all you have to do is go to get involved, and send a letter to your governor. They know where to send it and they've written it for you. It takes two minutes. Tell everyone you know!

MAKE A DIFFERENCE! CREATE THE AMERICA YOU WANT!!
