Today received the resolution attached which could break the legislative logjam on Common Core. The Republican Party of FL, voted on an amazing and strongly worded resolution against Common Core, no matter what name you call it (see attached). This could work to peel off support in other states as well. This is an amazing accomplishment and our own Gary Lee was our champion on this committee who deserves much of the credit.
I’ve been lobbying in Tallahassee the last two days and do not believe the legislators had this resolution. Rep Matt Caldwell and Rep Ray Pilon have joined the growing list of co-sponsors. Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President, Don Gaetz, both were opposed to our bills SB1316 and HB25 when I spoke with them. If you believe we should support Debby Mayfield’s bill HB25 and the Senator Evers’ companion bill SB1316, Please call and email to let them know the bills should be allowed to be heard in committee.
