All, please understand that your phone calls matter. Just call the legislators, and the person answering the phone will note why you're calling: "Please tell the legislator that I support full funding of MAEP." It's that simple. It's a pivotal moment in Mississippi education history. And your one phone call could be the one. Please call today. ó Donna

Pardon me for saying this and I wish it weren't true-- but after last Tuesday, I wouldn't expect a big response to this request. I have never seen people so apathetic about an issue that will impact their lives for years to come as was indicated last Tuesday... It is truly tragic.
