YOU DID IT AGAIN! Your e-mails to Congress have helped secure two more victories:
Last week, the House passed the Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007 (H.R. 4), which would require the federal government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to secure lower prescription drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries.
This week, the House passed the College Student Relief Act of 2007 (H.R. 5), which would cut in half the rate on subsidized undergraduate loans. Once fully phased in, the interest rate cut is estimated to help ease the financial burden of more than 5.5 million undergraduate students.
Both issues will now go to the Senate for consideration.
URGE CONGRESS TO LISTEN TO EDUCATORS ON ESEA/NCLB REAUTHORIZATION
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act/No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is up for reauthorization this year. As Congress prepares to reexamine NCLB, educators must be at the forefront, sharing their real-life experiences with policymakers.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TODAY
Tell Congress how No Child Left Behind is affecting you, your school, your students, and your colleagues. Share with Members of Congress NEA's Positive Agenda for the ESEA Reauthorization.
SUPPORT BUILDS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY OFFSETS LEGISLATION
The House version of the Social Security Fairness Act (H.R. 82), which would repeal the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision, now boasts bipartisan cosponsors.
CONTACT YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Thank Members who have already cosponsored the bill and urge all others to add their support as quickly as possible.
