Time is Now for Voice on AZ Public Education

As the Arizona Legislature determines their final budget cuts for the 2011 budget, it is time for the "voice" of the people to be heard without respite on protecting public school education. What voice? The same voice that overwhelmingly passed Proposition 100, the 1-cent sales tax to protect our public school systems. The same voice that recognizes that companies and organizations will not flock to Arizona with new jobs, if their families cannot receive a quality, local education. And a unified voice that demands the Legislature finds the political will and the political courage to adequately find a sustainable funding source to protect our state's children and their future. The time is now for our voices to be heard above the political games, the gamesmanship and ongoing valueless rhetoric that neither supports our children nor our state's future to be a leader in industry and commerce. Be heard, be heard, be heard - loud, clear, and long - that our schools' future holds our state's future.
