Forwarded message: Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 2 Oct 1998 17:55:14 -0700 (PDT) To: From: Michael Eisenscher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (by way of Tom Condit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) Subject: Follow the money X-UID: 610 [THIS FROM A FRIEND. DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES TO THE PHONE NUMBER BELOW, NOT TO ME.] Just got something of true interest in the mail from National Educ. Assoc. The headline reads: "NEA REpport Documents Link Between Anti-Worker and Anti-Pulic Eduction Initiatives." Story links an "ultraconservative network that is pursuing an aggressive political agenda nationwide, including a 'state-by-state assault on public education.'" It goes into the funding behind anti-worker initiatives, outlining the contributions and activities of individuals and organizations, which go to the many millions. The report has been called "the most thorough guidebook available for charting -- and predicting -- the influence of the political right in America." They identify the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Tax Reform, the Christian Coalition and the Family Research Council. They work together, coordinate action and enjoy the contributions of wealthy conservatives (Richard Mellon Scaife, John Walton, Gover Norquist, etc.). "Many otherwise well-informed citizens will be astounded to learn of the breadth and depth of the conservative network across America," Call NEA for the complete report: 202-822-7213 or 7251. Sounds very important and should be given wide publicity. ---------- -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
