Gary Mendez on Youtube

A friend on Facebook shared this with me. I was not at Rio Hondo when Gary got elected so I can not verify the claims made in this video by Mr. Mendez. I am interested to hear your response to Gary. Please leave your comments on the blog, so everyone can read them.

More Political Advocacy

Here is a link to the Environmental Defense Fund site that is pushing for passing the Climate Security Act.
This is a very entertaining website. Take a look at this site even if you are against this bill. I have this crazy idea of someday building a site like this for my practice quizzes.

Call Your Legislators

The CTA has set up a toll free number to call your legislators to tell them to keep the budget cuts away from schools. If you want your tax dollars to pay for schools rather than jails use this number to call your legislature. It is very easy to use.

CTA/CCA toll free number --1.888.268.4334 -- from your home phone, connect directly to your legislators, and express your concern about budget cuts to
community colleges and how they affect the STUDENTS.

Note: If you call from a cell phone, you will be prompted to enter your zip code in order to get the names of your legislators
