Welcome to

Citizens for Responsible Education Reform

Due to time constraints and too few site visitors, I can no longer provide the efforts necessary to maintain CRER at the level it deserves. I appreciate your interest in education reform and the role our federal government is playing (properly or not) in regard to it. If you wish to pursue this search for information, I would direct you to the following organizations, as well as to those found on CRER's links page. -- KL

CRER Mission Statement

CRER is comprised of everyday Americans interested in furthering the cause of responsible education reform through the advancement of a better understanding of reform initiatives and legislation affecting children, parents, teachers, and communities. The organization takes a conservative, but realistic approach to seeking solutions to the failings of the American education system.

CRER will not always comment on each issue on the agenda. We will, however, do our best to keep you informed about the items our national legislators expect to address within the realm of education. In order to be most effective at the grassroots level, we must become active in espousing our views to public officials and the public at large. Visit CRER's grassroots page for additional information on this subject.

Get Involved -- Write Your Congressman

Policies don't happen by accident, and they don't change without input. One voice may not make much difference, but a lot of single voices do matter. They mean votes to our political leaders, and that gets their attention. So, if you really care about an issue, write your Congressional representative today. Better yet, write your newspaper as well. Visit the following page for a selection of hotlinks to easily connect with whichever national figure you deem appropriate. E-mail Congress Today!
