Speaker Boehner
People For the American Way Opposes DC Vouchers, H.R. 471
On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of members of People For the American Way, we urge you to oppose H.R. 471, the Scholarships for Opportunity and Results Act, which is scheduled for a floor vote this Wednesday. This bill would reauthorize the DC private school voucher program, the “temporary five-year pilot” program that has existed since 2003.

Public dollars must continue to fund public services.
