ezs note:  Unfortunately, many Boards of Education don't have the people to show up, even though the entire schoolchildren have their future in their hands.  If you're free, make it a point to show up.  If your schedule doesn't permit it, make sure you can send an email or snailmail.  Get involved!

ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :
