Rumor has it that many students, teachers and parents are going to take action regarding Proposition 8 on the same day... Tuesday, October 21st. This story about the California Teachers Association ("CTA") donating $1 Million to preserve same-sex marriage aversely affected many people.

1.
STUDENTS Many California public school children are coming down with something and are going to be sick and
ABSENT FROM SCHOOL on Tuesday, October 21st. As they recuperate, they and their parents can write letters to the editor about CTA's donation. Many are puzzled why the professional group hired to educate them is spending so much money to push their own social agenda.
2.
TEACHERS With all those students out sick
on Tuesday, October 21st, many California public school teachers intend to
DEMAND $300 POLITICAL REFUNDS from their union dues using these instructions here:
http://www.nrtw.org/special-legal-notice-california-teachers-how-get-least-300-refund-cta-nonbargaining-expenses .
The magic number is 3,333. If that many eachers demand political refunds from their union on the same day, CTA will notice because the total amount will equal the million dollars it wasted fighting to neuter marriage. If these 3,030 teachers turn around and donate their $300 refunds to Yes on 8, CTA's whole cockamamie scheme will have backfired completely.
3.
PARENTS Many parents of public school children are going to try to counter CTA's meddlesome donation on
Tuesday, October 21, 2008, by
DONATING $35, $50 OR $100 TO Protect Marriage here:
https://www.icontribute.us/protectmarriage/initiative/main . If all donors that day put "CTA" in the referral box on the donation form, everybody will know the impact.
