Our local paper is supporting Kerry but the one beef I have is that they give Bush the nod for education, I sent them off this note.
Thank you for supporting John Kerry for President. I do have a one question about your awarding the education issue to Bush. How does Bush get the check mark for education when Kerry voted for the NCLB Act and said he would fund it while Bush also backed it but didn't fund it? By not funding it the NCLB Act has just become a burden that is destroying not helping our schools. With the facts listed below to support my position I don't see how Bush wins on the education front.

EDUCATION

52. The Bush Administration under funded the No Child Left Behind Act by $9.4 billion.

53. In 2000, candidate George W. Bush promised to increase the maximum federal scholarship, or Pell Grant, by 50 percent. Instead, each year he has been in office he has frozen or cut the maximum scholarship amount.
