Subject: [grassroots] Help Needed for Twitter Bomb

Hello everyone,****

** **

The Senate is holding a hearing on the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act (ESEA) on this coming Tuesday, November 8th and school libraries are
not a part of it. Some of you may know that a school libraries amendment
was withdrawn from ESEA when it was marked up by the Senate HELP committee
on October 20th. As such, we are not a part of this hearing and we want
people to know about this slight.****

** **

For those of you who use Twitter or know those within your networks who do,
we ask that you take part in and or publicize our upcoming Twitter bomb.****

** **

In order to create a concentrated Twitter bomb, we are requesting that
you *send
the following tweet out on Monday, Nov. 7th, at 11 A.M. Eastern time*:****

** **

Senate holding #ESEA hearing 11/8 & #SchoolLibraries aren’t included. Why?!
Good #schools need good #libraries!****

** **

For members who want to send the tweet directly at a senator (preferably
their own), there are enough remaining characters to do so. Here is an
example of a tweet directed at a senator. Sen. Mark Kirk in this case:****

** **

@SenatorKirk Senate holding #ESEA hearing 11/8 & #SchoolLibraries aren’t
included. Why?! Good #schools need good #libraries!****

** **

Please let me know if you have any questions and happy tweeting****
