Closing Remarks

Whew, I'm still running around doing interview after interview, debate after debate... and that isn't counting the hours of planning and hard work behind the scenes.
Here are a few of the many radio interviews that were done recently:

Joe Crummey of KFYI - visit him for more!

Todd Hartley of PHXNews - visit them for more!

Who Ya Gonna Call?

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

 

That to secure these Rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

 

Education

The true success of a nation can be measured by the effectiveness of its' educational system.  Ours is not working.  What was once the greatest educational system the world has ever known has been in severe decline since the mid-sixties, when we finally lost local control of our schools.

 

The Liberals and the Republicans both claim it's all about money, but you need only look to the example of Kansas City where the most expensive system in history (over 2 BILLION dollars), recently had its accreditation revoked because of the low performance of its students.  It’s not the money.
