1. Wrote a check

I just sent 10 bucks. Not much but I work as a teacher and there is a bill here in Oregon to either get rid of my school district or cut the budget by 36%. We are the county district that houses the medically fragile kids, has the classrooms at the children's hospital and the county jail and the city's most vulnerable special ed kids.

It is sad when rich people are willing to take food (pretty much, considering the cuts to our lunch programs) right out of the mouths of disabled children.
