HELP THIS NATIONAL EFFORT TO STOP COMMON CORE

The National Governors Association supported the implementation of Common Core Standards. If the NGA would pull that support, it would be easier for states to eliminate Common Core. This letter is open to signatures from all 50 states. The number of signatures we gather is important! My goal is to get 20,000 plus signatures. Please encourage family, friends, and neighbors to sign this letter!!!! It takes just a few seconds and will make a huge difference in the battle against Common Core. The signature area has a box for organization. Advocates for Academic Freedom would be pleased if you put Advocates for Academic Freedom in that box. Thank you for your help and support.
THE LETTER:
Join American Principles Project, Eagle Forum, HSLDA, Pioneer Institute, Michelle Malkin and others urging Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, Chair of the National Governors Association, to end the Common Core State Standards Initiative.  Through this initiative the NGA has enabled corporations and other private interests to drive education policy which has compromised the power of parents.  So we are asking parents, educators and concerned citizens to add their names with ours in order to stop the Common Core State Standards.
