The California Teachers Association just donated $1 million to fight proposition 8, making them the largest donor to the no on prop 8 campaign. You can read the article here.
This makes me furious. The CTA is constantly claiming there is not enough money for schools, yet they have $1 million to donate to a cause that I do not believe in. Please contact your local CTA representative to let them know that this is not something you support. Here is the letter that I wrote to Michael Bustos, the CTA representative for Sacramento:
Dear Mr. Bustos,
I am appalled to hear that the CTA just donated $1 million to the No On Proposition 8 Campaign. In what way does this issue effect teachers? Why is the CTA sticking their nose in this matter? Does the CTA have so much money sitting around that it can just go around and donating to causes?
The CTA is constantly running commercials claiming that there is not enough money in the state budget for art and music classes. Why doesn't the CTA donate $1 million to that fund instead of fighting against the traditional family?
The CTA has forever lost my support.
Sincerely,
Nicole

So, did you send that via email or, as my grandmother would say, "snail mail"?
I just sent an email... but if I should follow up with another letter then I will.
I emailed, that was the only contact I had.
I CANNOT believe that!! Crazy!! Good for you to send that letter!
Wow Nicole...now you know what we are up against here and the many faces that are behind it! Thanks for informing me...how do I know who to contact in my area?
I am so furious about this. I e-mailed everyone I know. What is wrong with giving the teachers a raise? I can't believe this was authorized. It just goes to show what we are up against... Crazy!!
This just blows my mind. Email sent...
Good for you girl!!
Good job. I just read in an article it was TWO million, not one. I wasn't looking for it, it just had listed the largest donors on both sides and said that they had given 2 Mil.
