Heritage’s weekly Blogger Briefing heard an emotional plea for the continuation of D.C. school vouchers, a recently scuttled federal program which provided scholarships of up to $7,500 for more than 1,700 low-income children in D.C. to attend a safe and effective private school of their choice.

Virginia Walden Ford, executive director of DC Parents for School Choice has led a crusade to get funding reinstated for the program. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 30th, she is leading a rally at the U.S. Capital.

What: Capitol Rally

When: Wednesday, September 30, 2009
11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Where: U.S. Capitol, Upper Senate Park
