This Week: Please Call Senators Murray and Cantwell about DeVos Appointment

From the Network for Public Education:

The confirmation hearings for Betsy DeVos will happen shortly. Please call your senators this week and let them know you oppose her appointment as Secretary of Education. If you called already, please call again.
