Want to encourage your friends to take action on Education Jobs? With 300,000 educator job losses expected, now is the time to speak up. NEA is sponsoring a competition among the states to see who can send the most e-mails to Congress in support of Jobs funding in the Emergency Supplemental Bill.  From Wednesday, June 16 through Wednesday June 23, encourage your friends to send an email to Congress using the link below. At the end of the week, we will select the three states that had the highest percentage participation, based on population.  Big or small, everyone has a chance to win.  These three states will have state specific content featured on Education Votes in the coming weeks.  By participating, you will also be entered in a random drawing to win one of six 8GB iPod nanos (ARV $149)!*
