Letter from Joyce Haynes, LAE President / Vote Charlie Melancon for US Senate

Letter from Joyce Haynes, LAE President   Vote Charlie Melancon for US Senate

Dear LAE Member, Your vote makes a difference.  The LAE Fund for Children and Public Education recommends that you vote Charlie Melancon for U. S. Senate on November 2nd.  We need Melancon in the U.S. Senate as another vote to help protect the Louisiana Public School system.  As employees of the public schools, we know best what it will take to improve and reform our system.  Charlie Melancon will be our ally.  Melancon has proven that he will help keep our schools open, provide federal funding to protect jobs for teachers and education support professionals, and ensure that every child has access to a great public school. Charlie Melancon voted as a member of congress to provide federal funding to prevent 2,200 educators in Louisiana from being laid-off. Charlie was there to support us by fighting against school voucher schemes and privatizing ESP jobs. Charlie was there to support us by opposing the use of test scores as the primary means of evaluating teachers. Now Charlie needs our support. Please join me in voting for Charlie Melancon on Tuesday, November 2nd. Together, we can elect a U.S. Senator who shares our belief in great public schools for every child. Joyce Haynes, President Louisiana Association of Educators
