AEP Announces A Positive Change

Victory for schools and children--House passes stimulus package with over $141 billion for education
Thank you to all of our members who called their representatives in support of The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The bill, which includes funds that could be spent on instructional materials, passed the House. However, despite President Obama’s pursuit of bipartisanship and his personal advocacy on behalf of the stimulus package with both Democrats and Republicans, all Republican Representatives voted against HR 1.
The Senate is now discussing its version of the legislation. AEP will continue to stay on top of the stimulus package and keep its members apprised of its progress. We will let you know when action is needed.
If you have any questions about AEP’s advocacy effort or would like to serve on the government relations committee, please contact Stacey Pusey at spusey@AEPweb.org or 856-241-7772.
