Anyone following #Mar21 #NVed and #NVleg on twitter (or following The Sausage Factory's live blog here) knows shit is popping off in Carson City.
A dozen buses packed with students left Las Vegas last night and they were joined in Carson City this morning by 7 buses from Reno and 1 bus from the rural Nevada.
There are Republican legislators who support education and will listen to our pleas to save it.
Here are there contacts. Email, call and if you're in Carson, go to their office. Put a face behind these cuts.
Save our state!

Mar 21: Students March on Carson City
A few months ago organizer Michael Flores told me he wanted to fill up buses with students and send them to Carson City to lobby the legislature.
Tonight I watched as hundreds of students piled into a dozen buses and headed north. And I have never been more proud.
Governor Brian Sandoval has pushed the students of Nevada too far. "Death by a thousands cuts" is what you often hear. But these kids aren't going to take it anymore.
