\"\"<\/a>About a month ago, Penn ACTION joined with Education Voters to launch a petition against Governor Corbett’s million dolar cut to education. The petition took off like wildfire and in a little oer three weeks, 34,000 people had signed. (If you haven’t signed yet, you can do so here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Last week we began recruiting volunteers to deliver the signatures to legislative offices. We have set up a separate web site www.stoppaedcuts.org<\/a> at which we are posting reports and photos about our delivery events and recruiting more people to join them. So far we have made 40 deliveries. We recently completed deliveries to Bucks County and received press coverage<\/a> of our efforts there and in Montgomery County.<\/p>\n

We are also planning a Harrisburg event at which we will deliver all 34,000 petition signatures to Governor Corbett. Details coming soon.<\/p>\n

Delivering a set of petition signatures is something you can do in a half hour. If you have never done this kind of political action, we can walk you through it. And believe us, hand delivering 200 to 1000 petition signatures means a lot more to a state legislator than sending an email with an attached file.<\/p>\n

If you can help, please contact Robin Stelly at rstelly@pennaction.org<\/a><\/p>\n
