@anoonen@CrawfordCentral A great activity. And you are great, too, Ann! I've enjoyed watching your advocacy for great learners, learning activities, and quality education for decades. You are special.
Am I a bad person because I didn’t want to retweet this article that I think gives accurate predictions for higher education in the coming months, because it would depress people who are already “whelmed” by bad news?
PA voters want fair districts.
Several statewide polls give same results: more than 2/3 of respondents, from all parties, all parts of PA, would like an independent redistricting commission.
Less than 1 in 5 think legislators should draw their own maps.

WHY do we care so much about this issue?
Because we know until this changes, nothing changes.
Without accountable elections leaders can rig the system, set the agenda, & lock out new voices & important ideas.
It's time for change: #GIVETHEBILLSAVOTE
Is #redistricting reform a partisan issue?
It shouldn't be.
Both parties #Gerrymander when they have a chance.
Voters right, left & unaffiliated, east, west & center, want an independent commission.
Our endorsing orgs are across the spectrum.
FDPA is adamantly non-partisan.
If you've been following you know #PAHouse has been considering MANY bills introduced by 1 or 2 sponsors w no public input, no expert testimony, little likelihood #PASenate will pass or @GovernorTomWolf will sign.
We'd like #PAHouse to consider HB 22 & 23.

Pushing for important changes? Remember gerrymandering, a blatant attempt to rig the system. PA politicians are preventing proposed legislation from getting to a vote. Shame! @RepTurzai@RepBryanCutler @senatorscarnati @SenatorDiSanto @JakeCorman #EndGerrymandering#CanYouHearUs?
Time for important changes, including ending gerrymandering! Our politicians should DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER to get House Bills 22 and 23 and Senate Bills 1022 and 1023 up for a vote. @RepTurzai@RepBryanCutler @senatorscarnati @SenatorDiSanto @JakeCorman
@anoonen Thanks, Ann. The admiration and the impact have always been mutual. Thanks, too, for creating the opportunity to remember Dr. Paul Welliver last night. He was a special man who had great impact on both of us and hundreds more.
@psuldt@peteandc Thanks everyone. Took me by surprise. All the best to my PAECT, PETE&C and PSU friends. You made my career feel more like fun than work.
Just posted a tribute video "Remembering Paul Welliver" created by his granddaughter Morgan. Thought you might like to review Paul's life well lived. https://t.co/b9NXfmwctj via @YouTube
