On Jan. 8, HB0076 was introduced to nullify the Common Core curriculum in the state of Maryland. (learn more about it here) It was promptly referred to the Ways and Means Committee where it will need to be passed by a majority before a vote is taken in the whole House.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! It doesn’t matter where in Maryland you live, ACT NOW!
1. Call the Committee Chair, Sheila E. Hixson. Strongly, but respectfully urge her to move this important bill forward to a vote in her committee. A phone call has 10x the impact of an email.
301-858-3469
2. Call the rest of the committee members. Again, be strong, but respectful. Urge each of them to take action to move the bill forward and vote YES on HB0076. If they do not commit to a YES vote, ask them why. If they’re undecided, let them know you’ll call back in a few days.
