If there are no teachers in the public schools, would most working families be able to afford private schools? Those who can already afford to send their children to private schools would not be impacted, but imagine the damage to families of children in public schools, not to mention the impact on the future of those children. Conservatives would give a tired cliche of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, but if that is the case, why shouldn't children of privilege also be required to do the same?

Flashblock does a number on his site. Vimardi Media should try something a little more 21st Century oriented. Every page has the same static bracket box with oversize buttons around it. He should give some geo locater program like http://www.foursquare.com/ a spin. No energy or environmental policy on his "Where I Stand" plan. Site does not appear to have any handicap access features. No text size adjustment button. Can a screen reader handle his site? Oh, nice article. thanks for posting.
