Midwest Peace and Justice On-Line Meeting

Join Us in Our First Ever Midwest Peace and Justice On-Line Meeting to Discuss Election 2008

On Wednesday September 12, 2007 at 7:00-8:00 p.m. The Midwest Peace and Justice Caucus will hold an on-line meeting to discuss Election 2008. With an agenda available for download, some specific instructions on how well make this happen and some excitement, we’re excited to host our first on-line meeting right here on our site. Go to the sidebar and scroll down to our chat box. That's were the meeting will occur.

It appears after carefully studying the major campaigns, that education has dropped off the candidate's radar as a top three issue.

With the problems that we've seen in the reauthorization of NCLB, it is high time that we--the practitioners in the Midwest Region--touched base to discuss our feelings about how this issue impacts our students, our schools, our colleagues and our profession. At last count there were 93 pieces of legislation written for the ESEA Reauthorization process.

More than that, the candidates and thier positions on War in Iraq, healthcare, renewable energy, the environment and other issues are of paramount importance to us, our students, our school's families, our colleagues and more. As several of us have been talking to the campaigns, working with the campaigns and helping as leaders in the campaign, it's time for us to have a healthy discussion about the campaign. Please invite your presidential candidate or his/her designee to attend to visit with our members.
