LETTER : CONVENTION OF STATES THREATENS U.S. CONSTITUTION
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Free Press "This is a dangerous, vaguely worded, and unprecedented method of amending the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, in 2016, Indiana’s Republican-controlled legislature passed a joint resolution approving such a convention. Groups with deceptive names and representing political extremes, including U.S. Term Limits, ALEC, and Convention of States, want an Article V Convention to implement their radical agendas permanently." |

LETTER : FIGHTING FOR HOOSIER STUDENTS
By John Hurley Letter to Editor Dubois County Herald "On November 19, I will be joining thousands of educators and supporters from across Indiana to stand up for Public Education at the Statehouse. This occurs on Organization Day, a time when legislators return to Indianapolis to plan the 2020 session. After a decade of disrespect, defunding, and demoralization, the Indiana Legislature has forced educators to spend time away from the classroom. Educators recognize the need for adequate support, reduced testing, and the repeal of ridiculous and overbearing requirements; we simply ask our legislators to recognize the same. We are standing up for our students, our schools, our colleagues, and our communities. I ask that you join with us to support the future of Indiana and the nation." |
