Those of us in the Tea Party remember all of the tricks of the Columbia insiders. They tried to tell us one thing about roll call – and then delayed, obfuscated and finally came to their senses and passed it.
Now it looks like they are trying to do the same thing with school choice.
The House subcommittee passed it…but the House Ways & Means Committee hasn’t taken it up. It’s stalled in committee. We need to contact the members of the House Ways & Means Committee and tell them:
1.) We WANT a clean bill.
2.) We WANT it on the committee agenda.
3.) We WANT a floor vote this year.
If they can’t do that, we’ll just put them down as opposing it.
Here in Spartanburg, we need to contact Representative Rita Allison. We also need to contact each of the Republican members and let them know we want a vote on a clean bill – and we want it this year. Tea parties in other counties … find your Representatives on this list and let them know you want school choice and you want it NOW!
