Who do I write to about funding education, John Boehner or Jim Bunning?

The snappy answer to your question might be "both" or "everyone."  Maybe every U.S. politician should be receive a strongly-worded letter about the lack of education funding.  Since, both the House and the Senate must play a role in the amont of funding that goes into education (for example, the recent Deficit Reduction Act which went back and forth numerous times before being passed), consider writing one from each.\n\nBut, if you had to pick...\n\nJohn Boehner was the Chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee. The committee had a great deal to do with the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, which  (after being put on the back-burner for several years) is greatly lacking.  For some features of the House's bill (which many find less-than-desirable), try http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2006/greconciliationupdate011906.html\n\nOr, consider writing to Bill "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) instead, as he is the new chair of the House Education fo Workforce Committee.\n\nCheck out these tips for writing Congress (from the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators): http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2001/GCommunicatingWithCongress.html

Department of Education!  The federal government has NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to tell the states ANYTHING about education.  They get away with it by giving states money and saying "if you want our money, do it our way.  If you don't we'll take away our money."

Sen. from Virginia Robert Bird.  Is the greatest "pork barrel" spender in history.    However; the second is not even on your list, and that is Sen Ted Kennedy from Mass.  He is the major siphon for "the Big Dig".  The last I heard it cost tax payers 15 BILLION and rising because it leaks...I'm not sure if it is in use or ever will be usable.

A THOMAS JEFFERSON EDUCATION TEACHING A GENERATION OF LEADERS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY by Oliver Van DeMille.  It is mainly on the differences in choices of education that is available to parents for their children--mainly homeschooling.  It does have a lot on how public and private schools came about and why.  I think it may have some references for your paper.  I hope so anyways.

Senator Feingold might be a good choice. He was the only Senator to vote against the original PATRIOT Act and he was been working to reform it since its passage.\nhttp://feingold.senate.gov/\n\nActually, if you want someone local, interview your local librarian. They are required to supply federal officials with lists of who is reading which books. Most librarians have grave reservations about the PATRIOT Act.

Matthew Lesko. But you don't need to buy his book or pay for his program to get information on government grants because the information is FREE.\n\nYou can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nIt is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate including Lesko, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." Entrepreneurs are apparently not one of them, so I take it they also don't have listings of private foundations who give grants to would-be entrepreneurs.
