It is especially good to hear this from NEA officials.
However, words are cheap.
May they follow these words of support with tangible deeds - such as helping President Bush bring as many pro-America defense minded candidates into public office as possible!
Will the NEA support strong, pro-America candidates throughout our nation in the upcoming 2002 Congressional elections? Without such elected Representatives/Senators there in Congress and in the Senate to give VOTING support to the measures that our nation is going to have to take if we are seious about this War on Terrorism. What will the NEA DO about those elections?
Anti-Americans FILL the Congress and the Senate.
Will the NEA leaders help replace them with people who can really vote SUPPORT for the War effort?
BTW - am glad you are now a "former" lifelong Democrat. I hope you will use whatever influence you have among other educators to encourage many of them to take this step that you have taken.
Finally - The Democrats (I have several in my family) I know - down in the ranks - are basically good decent people. They have simply been deceived and have not been willing to face the truth about the deception they have "bought" for so long - because to do so would wound their pride or self-image, perhaps.
Somehow the thought of fellow Americans being incinerated or plunging to their death at the hands of AMERICA-HATERS LIKE MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN - has shaken some of them up. One told me - and she is in education also - that she wants us to NUKE the .........
And this from a former hippie peacenik!
So, there is hope.
"Without such elected Representatives/Senators there in Congress and in the Senate to give VOTING support to the measures that our nation is going to have to take if we are seious about this War on Terrorism. .......President Bush is going to face very difficult times getting passed into law the measures he needs to command our troops and our investigative agencies in the most focused, effective way possible."
There, that's better. Not good, but better.
