I told him I was not voting for Obama unless Duncan was fired and replaced with an education scholar. <br /><br />If we continue to allow the Democratic party to take our votes for granted they will never represent the interests of the 99%. It was in-your-face-activism that forced Obama to change positions on gay marriage and immigration reform. Albeit, the reforms are miniscule, they are a move in the right direction. The DNC understands that these groups are critical to the Democratic voting base. Teachers should teach the DNC a lesson in loyalty and should do so at the ballot box. <br /><br />Teachers not only have influence with our peers we have influence over our student's parents. Parents are our strongest allies and, once informed, will fight like tigers in their children's interests. Teachers interests are children's interests.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813056667733621829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-1598698055485375472012-06-16T22:30:05.928-05:002012-06-16T22:30:05.928-05:00I'm a Chicago teacher.

I gave the caller quite an earful about how the Democrats, MY PARTY, including my mayor, governor, Il. Speaker, Sec. of Education, and President (whom I campaigned for and donated $500 in 2008) are ruining my profession, and potentially going to kill my livelihood resulting in my family losing middle class status. I said that you will get my vote, because I dont want a President Romney. But I also told the gentleman on the phone that I had better be removed from any list where I will be asked for money. I hope every teacher out there does the same when these people call. We should not give a dime to the Democrats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
