It's difficult to find your rep simply by searching - many counties have multiple reps. I used the "Find Your Representative" option to type in my home address, which brought up the contact information for my representatives at the state and national level.
You want to contact your State House Representative. The next post will tell you what are, to me, the salient points that faculty and others may wish to stress. I welcome comments adding points that will help make our case for academic freedom for students. Please contribute if you have ideas!

Lisa,
Thank you for creating this blog. I have been trying to figure out when this bill will be discussed before the education committee. We have heard that they will probably discuss this bill during the week of 11th, but they have yet to post the specific day/time. Faculty here are St. Petersburg College are meeting on Wednesday in a special Senate meeting. We anticipate passing a resoltion on this bill so that our president can represent our view at the council of presidents meeting on Thursday.
Here is the link with the contact info for all members of the Education Committee: http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Committees/committeesdetail.aspx?SessionId=66&CommitteeId=2591
How might we get this blog out to faculty at all 28 community colleges. I think that it is important to have a standing-room only crowd when the Education Committee considers this bill.
