The Missouri Senator (Senator Blunt) and the Missouri Republican Congressmen were contacted at their Washington offices earlier this week with regards to having Anita Hoge be invited to be an expert witness at the ESEA hearings in March.

The reception was excellent, and the staff will forward the information to their respective Senator and congressmen.

One of the offices recommended that the House Republican Education Committee be contacted, and so it was also contacted. (The hearing has not been scheduled yet, but the staff member was informed that it was our understanding that the hearing would be held in March.) The staff member will pass the request regarding Anita Hoge testifying to the 22 sitting members of the House Education Committee.

The number for the House Committee is
202-225-4527  
CALL, CALL, CALL
