Need pro-student leaders

Great changes can be made in 2012.

We the people are not the problem; misinformed politicians and Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, who support class warfare, are!

We (the 99 percent) need to occupy our Legislature and OSPI, not Wall Street, Main Street or the parks.

Our Legislature and Dorn have created the perfect anti-student, anti-education, anti-taxpayer but pro-educrat storm. They support the work-farce program that employs educrats, represented by the all-powerful teachers unions, that produces failing schools and students.

In a misguided budget-cutting decision, the Legislature and Dorn decided to reduce funding to cost-effective programs (fewer educrats and overhead), and increased funding to programs that fail to produce results.

The key issue is employment of teachers. The education students receive is no longer considered!

In 2012, we can elect legislators and a superintendent of public instruction who are pro-student, pro-parent, pro-education, pro-taxpayer and pro-employer.

We the people are not the problem! We the students are not the problem! Misinformed politicians of both parties are the problem.

Those elected in 2012 must commit, prior to the next election, to co-sponsor and vote for needed change!
