WE have all heard how Obama and his Democrats who LOVE the unions and by LOVING them more then “the children” have thrown 3,000 families in DC to the proverbial curb. These children have worked very hard and earned the RIGHT to be in these non-public schools and this is their TRUE opportunity to “get out”. If Republicans want to show that they are TRULY the party of the middle class and the party that understands the problems that families face at that darn “kitchen” table then this is an opportunity to put that into action.
Let us start an education fund
I want these kids to continue with their superior education because they are the future and I also want them to understand that Conservatives who recognize the value of a REAL EDUCATION and NOT unionized education gave them this hand-up……WE don’t do HAND OUTS
I never know how to get something like this started which is why I chose to throw this diary out there for suggestions. I mostly am hoping that an Erick Erickson might have an opportunity to challenge some within the GOP to take up this cause. WE all give $20 or $50 etc for MANY causes and this is to my mind a clear NEED because these kids have been kept out of trouble in their neighborhoods with this opportunity and to throw them back into those public schools would be CRIMINAL!
As Conservatives WE recognize the FAILURE of the public school system and by helping a few thousand children to better themselves thereby bettering those they come in to contact with now and in the future will create the opportunity for the real lesson in life…..Democrats are beholden to the unions and you dear children MEAN NOTHING!

JadedByPolitics (Diary) Tuesday, December 8th at 8:00AM EST (link)Is it liberals? I mean why are they not helping these 3K families that Obama dropped? I have never heard of that fund but if you can give me more information about them I would like to link them up to my diary for people to donate too

Joe Biden is like a Decrepit Park owner with a Meth lab that happens to not only be a dealer but a user.
Let’s Bankrupt the Democratic paty. Make spend all the money to defend thier candidates.
the DC opp is/was only for DC too nt
mom2oneson (Diary) Tuesday, December 8th at 8:27AM EST (link)It's another part of the office
mom2oneson (Diary) Tuesday, December 8th at 8:19AM EST (link)It looks like the same office has 2 programs
1. DC opportunity that congress funded and donations were given for the administrative side of it and other services for the families while congress gave the $7500 for the actual tuition for each kid. So the donations funded the things outside of the actual tuition.
2. The signature scholarship, which allows for a little higher incomes of the parents than the DC scholarship one, and is 100% privately funded.
( It says those donations are matched, don’t know if they are just saying that or what, I know I’ve worked charity campaigns and we always say the funds are matched….)
It looks like it’s the same people and office but different programs. BTW This is just what I gathered from the website, I have no first hand knowledge!!!
bump this is a good idea :) nt
