RISE UP! Call your senators and congresscritters and let them know you will not take this lying down, not even sitting down! Burn their ears off! Tie up their phone lines! If you can"t get anyone this week, which is possible seeing as how there's a holiday coming up, start up again on Monday. Let them know, on behalf of all the future nurses, architects, accountants, physical therapists, PAs, social workers, and educators, that WE ARE PROFESSIONALS AND WE WANT THEM TO BE TOO! And don't take no for an answer.
