..to support public education in America.

It is the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR in our
rise to prominence in the world, and it
is a NECESSARY building block in assuring
that the promise:
"..all men are created equal" is kept.



It is also singled out as a BASIC tenet
of the democratic party. Democrats should
strive to IMPROVE public education, not
GUT IT like the puglicans.

On Edit:

Here is the "30 second" statement that we
ALL should agree on when asked what democrats
believe. And you might be surprised just how
many times this has been debated in our local
dem club, and with other groups dedicated to
shaping the message and the debate.

As usual, Howard Dean sums it up pretty well:

Howard Dean on

"What Dems Stand for:"

1: "American jobs that will stay in America and using energy independence to generate those jobs."

2: "A strong national defense based on telling the truth to our citizens, our soldiers and our allies."

3: "Honesty and integrity to be restored to government."

4: "A health care system that works for everyone, just as in thirty-six other countries."

5: "A strong public education system so that we can bring optimism and opportunity back to America."

Note #5, on education.

I have not run into ANYONE who disagrees with these basics.

If I did, I'd know they were unrepentant republicans.
