We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society." "America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech." "But of course, now we’re told we’re in recovery but this sure doesn’t feel like a recovery to more than 9 percent of the Americans out there who are unemployed, or the 16 percent of the African-Americans, 11 percent of Hispanics in the same position, or the millions who can only find part-time work or those who have even stopped looking for a job."

It is valor."― Paul Tsongas "I will continue my activities related to education in one way or another.
