EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY

~Education is the only tool a democracy has that can guarantee equal opportunity for all of our citizens.

~It allows our citizens to advocate for and advance themselves, rather than be treated as uninvolved third parties by the government.

~It builds self-respect, rather than destroying it through government handouts and entitlements.

~It produces the next generation of leaders required for the continuation of democratic values, effective leadership and involved citizenry.

~Unless a democracy provides for effective education, the rights and privileges guaranteed by our nation are useless tools in the hands of the ignorant.

~We must support those who hope to see these ideals upheld. We believe that John McCain is the leader best prepared to provide for these ideals.
