Last Chance for Pennsylvania School Choice in 2011

Since January, FreedomWorks has been fighting for school choice in Pennsylvania, but the next few weeks are the most important yet. The outcome of this fall's legislative session will determine whether Pennsylvania schools serve students and parents or continue catering to unions and bureaucrats.

Governor Tom Corbett has proposed an aggressive plan to put parents back in charge of education that FreedomWorks and our allies around the state are proud to support.

Pennsylvania School Choice Update

Help us move SB1 through the General Assembly!

Things are really moving along in the battle for school choice in Pennsylvania! We are currently working to get co-sponsors for SB1 - The Opportunity Scholarship and Educational Improvement Tax Credit Act. This bill has broad, bi-partisan support in the Pennsylvania Senate, but it is up to us to make sure that supporters are reinforced, and those legislators on the fence are persuaded to support SB1.

Tea party sequel planned for Easton's Centre Square

Planners hope to remind politicians of deficit, spending concerns at rally

Political junkies now have their own summer sequel to ponder: Tea Parties 2, Independence Day.

Local conservative and libertarian political activists, who threw ''tea party'' protests on April 15, will rally again Friday in Easton as part of hundreds of demonstrations across the nation this weekend.

While their numbers are smaller this time around, their target is again big government, in particular President Barack Obama's cap and trade energy proposal and plan to overhaul health care.
