From Senator Patty Murray's email:

Right now, the vote to confirm her as our next Education Secretary is 50-50, with Vice President Pence as the tie-break vote to support her confirmation. We just need one more Republican senator to listen to their constituents and take their concerns seriously, and commit to vote against her to keep her out of the Department of Education for good. Patty Murray is leading the charge against Betsy DeVos in the Senate. But here's how you can help: Call Republican Senator Orrin Hatch and Senator Mike Lee right now and tell them you're counting on them to support kids and teachers by voting NO on Betsy DeVos. Senator Orrin Hatch: (202) 224-5251 Senator Mike Lee: (202) 224-5444 After you've called, let us know how the call went right here. These calls make a huge difference. You can keep emailing or trying to reach lawmakers on social media -- but it's also important to make a call and make sure these senators hear directly from you. It's a lot harder to ignore a ringing phone. Senator Murkowski said that, despite her own feelings about Betsy DeVos, she'd heard from "thousands of Alaskans" who are very concerned about her views and her lack of knowledge when it comes to education policy. She cited those calls as the main reason she felt compelled to oppose Betsy DeVos. This could be a huge win for students and parents across the country, and a huge blow to President Trump and his anti-education agenda. And if we work together, we can do this. Call Senator Orrin Hatch at (202) 224-5251, and Senator Mike Lee at (202) 224-5444, and then let us know how the calls went with a quick report back.
