Respected friends -- The more we learn about Betsy DeVos, the clearer it is that she would be an unmitigated disaster for our school children When asked about laws protecting kids with disabilities, she was unaware that states are required to comply with federal law.When asked about Trump's plan to ban gun free school zones, she suggested that firearms might be necessary to defend children from grizzly bears.We've even learned that she may have plagiarized some of her answers to the questions she submitted to senators as part of the confirmation process. The one thing that was clear from her nomination hearing was that Betsy DeVos is grossly unqualified to be put in charge of America's schools. Chip in $1 to show that you're standing with Democrats in this fight to defeat this nomination and send a message to Republicans about the kind of grassroots support our candidates will have going forward. For weeks, voters from all over the country have been burning up the phone lines to ask their lawmakers to oppose DeVos -- and it's working. This week, two Republican senators -- Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska -- said they will vote NO on her nomination.We need just ONE more Republican to stand up for our kids. Otherwise DeVos can be confirmed in a 50-50 tie where Vice President Pence casts the winning vote in her favor. That's unprecedented, and we must stop them. So let's make it crystal clear to Senate Republicans that they'll be held accountable for this vote. Click here to support Senate Democrats in this fight to protect the future of our children.
