Say No to DeVos for Secretary of Education

The vote to confirm the woefully unqualified Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education was delayed due to an outpouring of resistance. The hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will now be held at 10 a.m. Jan. 31 so that Republicans have more time to garner votes. We must act now:
Please call one of the following Republican Senators (key in the confirmation vote) to express your opposition on the appointment. At least 3 of these senators need to be convinced in order to block DeVos’ nomination. Don’t email. Don’t tweet. Don’t complain on Facebook. Please call them!
Then, PLEASE SHARE WIDELY:
