Monday, March 14th, 11:30 AM

Greetings to all,

In response to BAMN's call to action, I'd like to suggest that those of us who 
are going to be in town during the Spring  Break mobilize a rally in Springfield 
for March 23.  We should not allow them to pass anti-education/anti-student 
legislation in the quiet of the Spring Break when they think the oppositional 
voices could not be raised in Springfield. 


I also think that an integral part of the work should be to debunk the myth that 
the outrageous salaries and benefits  that the Administration distributes among 
its "top echelon" is necessary for "attracting the best talents and rewarding 
excellence." 


Any thoughts?
