Supreme? Court …says WHO?
September 5, 2008 | |
In an incredible show of giving in to special interests the Florida Supreme Court today (September 4th), has demonstrated once again it has absolutely no desire to represent the voters and families of this state but instead desires to legislate from the bench. Amendments that WE would have had the responsibility to read, understand and vote in favor of or against regarding school funding, vouchers and school choice have now been removed from the ballot. Attorneys representing special interest groups successfully argued that the wording of the amendments were “confusing” and “deceptive” and the “true intent of the voter” would likely never be known. Congratulations, folks! We’re all too stupid to read and understand. How does that make you feel? How does it make you feel that seven or nine people in Tallahassee can tell you what is best for your children? How does it feel that if YOUR child is in a failing school, that you now NO LONGER have any choice other than to move to ANOTHER possibly failing school at the whim of the school district you happen to be in?
This is what the politicians we elect do for us when our back is turned.
This is what the Supreme Court decides when our backs are turned.
It’s time to turn around. It’s time to FORCE these people to look us in the eye and explain themselves, and it’s time for YOU and ME to take back our government. It’s time for YOU and ME to say enough and let the politicians know that they are FIRED if they don’t start listening.
What’s next Virtual Education? Maybe. These people don’t want school choice. The TEACHER UNIONS don’t want school choice. We do. These are OUR children, not theirs. [Side note: Ask some of the politicians where they send their kids.} Do we count anymore?
