December 15 is the annual deadline for CEA member teachers to complete and file papers to opt-out of the political donation from the membership dues and have the funds returned.  Note that in 2010 when the following informational video was made the total amount expected was $63.00.  Be sure to check the information available at the Independent Teachers (.org) web site for details of what the teacher(s) you may know can do.
