2. It's about the rank and file. They may

Have the money, but we have the votes. Votes it's what wins elections.

The vote is the great equalizer.

3. The NEA leadership has to yield to the power of the Democratic Party Elite Leadership.

But the rank and file will support Sen Sanders.

6. Some of our teachers are too, but sadly a lot are voting

republican and always do, no matter who their union endorses

9. I've never understood teachers voting Republican.

Republicans hate teachers. Teachers educate, and the last thing Republican politicians want is an educated voter.
