Keeping Washington State charter free: Contact Mayor McGinn about Initiative 1240

This just in.


Right now on the NO on 1240 Facebook page, there is a campaign for all Seattle residents to contact Mayor McGinn and ask him to stand up for our existing public schools and oppose Initiative 1240.
Here is the Facebook post:
Mayor McGinn is ducking this issue and hasn’t heard from anyone about it. Let’s get him on record and let him and ALL elected officials know they need to take a public stand. They should not stand silently by and let this happen to Seattle public schools when they have the power to make their voices heard.
Mayor Mike McGinn – call his office at 684-4000. Tweet him @mayormcginn or post on his Facebook pagehttp://www.facebook.com/MayorMcGinn.
If you are not able to do anything else, this would help greatly the campaign of to save our public schools and keep them public.
