I'm as progressive as they come but I'm not about to put a very worsening situation on the backs of conservative Americans. It does very little to complain. I believe Americans can turn things around if they get involved at the grassroots level. At first it seems daunting getting involved in local community councils and such but after awhile you can see just where the big picture starts. And if you feel strongly enough about something...well there's no better time to do something about it than right now.
I agree 100% with what pwd72s said earlier. An example in support of what he said...Just last week the Anchorage Assembly voted unanamously and passed the local school district budget for 07. Folks, get this...over 630 million for around 45,000 students. The superintendent said that even with this budget they are 14 million short and hope to make up for it with state funding. I don't know about you guys but this is a joke. The school district fails to graduate over 31% of the students entering high school. The only answer is to get involved and vote.
