\doc\web\98\06\nostw.txt Date sent: Thu, 28 May 1998 19:21:32 -0400 To: professor@tricon.net From: Jeanne Donovan (by way of Education Consumers ClearingHouse ) Subject: CLEARINGHOUSE: School-to-Work Opposition List sent to DeLay Dear All: Chris Patterson sends her heartfelt thanks to all who added their names to the school-to-work opposition list so far. She says "Please post my heartfelt appreciation for everyone who contributed names. My hope that this list merely represents the beginning of a list that will be maintained and will grow and can be shared with as many individuals as possible. This list offers testimony that people throughout the nation share opposition to federal education initiatives and offers a means for all of us to share information and efforts." The list of names below has been mailed to Tom De Lay's office at his request. If you discover your name or organization is not listed, but would like to be included, there will be a way to do so. As I write this I am attempting to set up a form on my website which will allow additions to be made with ease. As soon as the page is ready, I'll notify the loops. The list of names you see here will also be added to the web site so that when you write letters to anyone opposing STW, you can if you wish attach a copy of the list to show that you do not stand alone in your opposition. At the end of June I will be going to Scotland for six weeks. If I do not have the STW opposition form up and running on my site by then, you should send your name directly to Chris at RCRmp@aol.com. She requests that you write STW OPPOSITION in the subject line.
