It’s Tuesday morning and Senate Democrats continue their marathon session in opposition to today’s confirmation vote for Betsy “Grizzly” DeVos to become the education secretary. You can catch all the action here at C-SPAN2. As was noted on Wednesday:
Betsy DeVos’s confirmation vote on Tuesday is expected to be a first, one way or the other. Either she’s the first cabinet official in history to need the vice president to serve as a tie-breaker, or she’s Donald Trump’s first nominee voted down. Obviously, reasonable people want it to be the latter. [...]
If you like public education, basic competency, or ethics, Betsy DeVos is a terrible choice. Your Republican senators need to hear from you. Call them now and urge them to vote against Betsy DeVos.
Please call your senator and make your voice heard. And if the voicemail is full on the first number you call on the list, call the second number, and if the voicemail is full on the second number you call on the list, call the third number, and if … you get the idea!
