Dear TCs Most of you will be in class Monday, but for those of you who are retired or can get away from class, there will be a rally in the parking lot of the OEA building for Brad Carson, Democrat for the US Senate, Monday at 2 p.m. The OEA building is northwest of the State Capitol complex, so the capitol dome will be in the background of the camera shots. Carolyn Crowder, former OEA president, wanted me to pass the word to as many teachers as possible. Normally, I wouldn't send you a political message, (Republicans, forgive me), but I do think you should know that Carson is the ONLY one of our senators or representatives who voted for NWP funding in 2003. (Even he didn't in 2004.) The NEA Executive committee and the NWP both back his candidacy. Both he and Tom Coburn will be on Meet the Press Sunday morning. This race has gained national attention because the winner could determine the majority in the Senate. Anyway, I am passing the word along for those interested. Jerry and I will be there. Janis
