Save North Carolina Classrooms
President Bush has a spending problem.
While proposing another $196 billion for an unpopular war, Bush wants to strip $8.4 million from North Carolina classrooms.
Bush threatened to veto the Labor-HHS-Education bill that the Senate approved last week.
Sign this petition to tell Bush you continue to stand with our children.
Bush and his Republican enablers Elizabeth Dole and Richard Burr favor a draconian budget that would cut education funding for North Carolina and 43 other states.
These misguided cuts could force local communities to find local tax dollars to meet those needs or shortchange their schools.
Even during tough economic times, North Carolina Democrats have kept our promises to public schools while other states were forced to make cuts to the classroom.
Public education is even more critical now that nearly half of North Carolina children live below the poverty line, according to a report this week from the Southern Education Foundation.
With best wishes,
Jerry Meek
North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman

It is deceitful, why is that
It is deceitful, why is that a surprise, that Republican right wingers and their pundits see no inequity in spending hundreds of billions of dollars in occupying and rebuilding Iraq yet begrudge every penny that gets spent or proposed for education and health care in the USA.
