www.SpecialEdVoters.org is dedicated to identifying, endorsing,
and publicizing political candidates that support special education
and other related issues that affect children with special needs.
SpecialEdVoters.org is currently operating in Montgomery County,
Maryland. Among other things in 2002, SpecialEdVoters.org organized,
held a Board of Education Candidates forum on Special Education,
endorsed Board of Education candidates, formed a Political Action
Committee (PAC), and campaigned for endorsed candidates. We believe we
are the first organization to endorse political candidates for
supporting special education and special needs.

Activism
-
It's a would-be activist's dream come true:
Someone with kindred values monitors
Congress and alerts you to significant
votes. Better still, they draft a letter to
your congressional delegation and ask if you'd like it
faxed right away.

National Governors Association (NGA) Center for
Best Practices - The
mission of the NGA Center for Best Practices is to help Governors and
their key policy staff develop and implement innovative solutions to
governance and policy challenges facing them in their states Through
the staff of the NGA Center, Governors and their policy advisors
can: quickly learn about what works, what doesn't, and what lessons
can be learned from others grappling with the same problems; obtain
assistance in designing and implementing new programs or in making
current programs more effective; and receive up-to-date information
about what is happening in other state capitals and in Washington,
D.C., so Governors are better prepared to react to emerging issues.
