Mick Zais is choosing ideology over what is right for the children of S.C. Lets flood his office with phone calls and e-mails today until the deadline of September 30th.
Help reinforce the message that the people are tired of nonsense from their politicians and want them to put the people first and accept the funds before the September 30th deadline. He has rejected $144 million in "Race to the Top" federal funds and chosen not to apply for federal grants South Carolina qualifies for.
Listed below are his phone numbers and e-mail address and social media contact information.
