    Excellent explanation of following the money. However, if you do an update, you might want to add the following "education reform" groups to the 1390 Lawrence location: 1) A plus Denver (now morphed into A plus Colorado), a fake citizens oversight committee, whose CEO used to be employed by ERN 2) Catapult, non-Union leadership training program whose CEO is a hedge fund supported Denver Public Schools board of education member (and former lieutenant governor of Colorado) 3) Gates Family Foundation - the umbrella non-profit, no relationship to Bill and Melinda - which employs a former DPS board of education member and which employed a current board of education member . 4) And the ones you've mentioned: DFER - CO, KIPP, and the chamber of commerce supported "Succeeds" organizations. The only missing reformsters are Stand for Children and Teach for America who seem to have enough money to rent their own space.

    You know...for those of us with knowledge and appreciation for Irish history, equating victories at the polls to an armed uprising where over 500 people died, more than half civilians, with an aftermath that saw thousands detained in interment camps, Republican leaders summarily executed by firing squad, creating a lasting legacy of mistrust...and violence...in that country? That's just plain wrong. That headline needs to be changed.

    No, when people from two sides of the political spectrum attack you, it means you are an idiot with a mission and both sides see it coming!

    Bernie voters: Even if you're already registered to vote, check your registration status NOW (it takes two minutes). Thousands were denied their right to vote in Arizona because of voter irregularities. Check your status now at: https://www.headcount.org/verify-voter-registration/ Registration deadlines are often well in advance of your state's primary or caucus. Here are registration deadlines for upcoming primaries and caucuses that are closed (meaning if you want to vote for Bernie, here are your deadlines to register as, or change party affiliation to democrat): Rhode Island: Must register by March 27 for primary on April 26 Pennsylvania: Must register by March 28 for primary on April 26 Delaware: Must register by April 2 for primary on April 26 Maryland: Must register by April 5 for primary on April 26 Kentucky: Must register by April 18 for primary on May 17 West Virginia: Must register by April 19 for primary on May 10 Connecticut: Must register by April 21
