Update from AEA:
The Senate did not have the votes to pass the budget today. This is another hurdle education advocates have overcome. The 4 p.m. protest at the capitol has been postponed. Please watch for further updates. Visit www.march4schools.com for the latest news.

Sorry folks. I was just up there. I don't what happened, really, but we were all sent home by the AEA today. No rally. No more mass lobbying. Everyone is going back to school now, too. Maybe it was just too late to affect the budget deal.
Still, I was impressed with the number of people there from across the state who came to stop this budget from passing. Flagstaff, Tuscon, Kingman. And Paradise Valley turned out en masse - they even brought students, which I thought was awesome.
Anyway, hope you're not already on your way to the demonstration. We were all sent home.
