Folks, Tuesday's my birthday so I will not be blogging but enjoying my wonderful family (husband, Mom who is visiting from Phoenix, two sons - my daughter-in-law is away working on a movie -- she's so cool!) and trying not to let school issues raise my blood pressure.

Your Public Schools Action Tuesday assignment for today, if you choose to accept it, is to give a gift to PURE. If you really support public schools, you will support PURE. PURE has been there for public school parents and students for nearly 23 years. We have stuck it out through thick and thin and, despite appearances, things today are very, very thin. 

But we've been poor before and we keep going. The internet gives us so many new opportunities for reaching people with our message and our perspective. And believe me, Wanda is still out there helping people one-on-one every day (despite the fact that she was completely flooded out last Friday - please keep her and her family in your thoughts - and the hundreds of others out there with similar stories). 

More on PURE's history here (PURE's Greatest Hits). Donate here!

Thanks so much for your support!
