The Official Community for Tennessee's Democrats

Standing with Teachers

SIGN THE PETITION.
LET THE LEGISLATURE KNOW
YOU STAND WITH TEACHERS

Legislature,
I stand with Teachers! I support our educators and stand against those who are trying to take away rights from hard working people. I call on you, my state legislators, to protect teachers' rights.
Sincerely,








Tell us why you stand with Teachers:

In addition to signing this petition I will support Teachers by...
call or visit my state representative and senator
write letters to the editor
participate in a phone bank
forward on information about this issue to everyone I know



All over this nation, extreme tea party politicians are pushing a radical anti-worker and anti-education agenda that attacks the fundamental rights of working people.

We must push back! Protesters in Wisconsin are proving that people, like you and me, can make a difference.

More than ever, we need to stand united against these proposals in Tennessee. If we don't raise our voices, Tennessee teachers will have their voices taken away.

Tell your state legislators: I stand with teachers.

Show your solidarity with Tennessee teachers and working people across the nation! Here's how to get involved:

CALL YOUR LEGISLATOR

Reaching out to your legislators can help to make a difference in whether these bills are passed or not. This can be done by calling them, sending an e-mail, writing a letter or faxing them a note.

Send a message: Our elected leaders should be working to create jobs—not attacking workers.
