Tell Congress to Speak Up For Kids, Support the American Jobs Act

The National Education Association has launched a multi-state advertising campaign asking Congress to support President Obama's American Jobs Act, which would put up to 280,000 educators back to work and modernize 35,000 of our nation's aging public schools.

In the advertisement, America's students ask who they have to be to earn attention and action from Congress. Students across the nation are contending with overcrowded classrooms, cuts to art, music and physical education programs, and loss of vital services, from counseling to health care. Please watch the ad, share it with your friends, and see how you can urge Congress to speak up for education and kids.

The 30-second ad is airing in select media markets in Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Texas.
