I just wanted to quickly update you on our school choice campaign in Pennsylvania. SB1 - "The Opportunity Scholarship and Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act" - will be up in the state senate next week and we need YOUR help to make sure this important bill passes.

SB1 offers Pennsylvanians a more competitive education system for fewer taxpayer dollars. It will improve the economy by lifting up people with real opportunities for a better life. And SB1 will be a major blow to the teachers unions, which care more about their own money and power than about educating students.

Please call the following senators and tell them to vote YES on SB1!!

Kim L. Ward (R-39) (717) 787-6063
John R. Gordner (R-27) (717) 787-8928
Patricia H. Vance (R-31) (717) 787-8524
Elder A. Vogel Jr. (R-47) (717) 787-3076

In order to make sure SB1 passes, FreedomWorks will be holding multiple school choice panels throughout Pennsylvania in the weeks to come. Below are just two of the upcoming events that we would like you to attend.
