Apologies for the 'spamming' of the groups, but this is serious. They're targetting learning as the key to control the future. They plan on putting an end to interactive and engaging learning. I don't have the manpower or resources to stop them. Come to http://defendeducation.ning.com/ to help me.
I don't know exactly who they are, but I could really use the help of a detailed guy like you on the team, Sean. I know that the ning is really bare and that doesn't bode well for getting help or even following what's happened to this point.

Thanks for the support,
