MOST LIKELY TO FLIP: Senator Pat Toomey: 202-224-4254 (PA)

There are now a total of 50 U.S. senators who have said they will vote no on the nomination of Betsy DeVos for our next Secretary of Education. A 50-50 tie would be broken by Vice President Mike Pence, putting a dangerous and unqualified DeVos in charge of America's public education.

But if we can get one, DeVos is done.

As it stands, 48 Democrats and 2 Republicans have gone on record saying they oppose DeVos for education secretary. That means we just need one more Republican senator to do the right thing.

Here are the GOP senators you can contact and tell them that Betsy DeVos is dangerously unqualifed for the job of Secretary of Education:

He'll give lip service to this but in the end will not have the balls to buck his party.
