I do have permission to reprint the following message:
Dear Alabama friends of science education,
As you may have heard, House Bill 133 was approved last week by the Education Policy committee. For background and news reports, see these NCSE posts:

HB 133 is now listed on the House calendar for Tuesday, March 6, meaning that it will very likely be voted on by the full House tomorrow. There is still time to contact your House representatives by e-mail or phone to ask them to vote against this attempt to enable public school credit for teaching of creationism.
A list of representatives, with links and phone numbers, is here:

Note that you can find your legislator by zip code on the same page, if necessary.
Thank you for your help in opposing HB 133.
Best wishes,
Eric Meikle
