Is that what happened before 1980? Education is a state issue. Everyone on this list is against NCLB so do away with federal intrusion into education. You do realize nine out of ten of the best schools in California are in what some people refer to as not safe areas. They are also charter schools that are funded by the state but have the freedom to ignore the bureaucracy. > Healthcare is not a right - So if you can't pay your bill you don't get in > the ambulance.

Yeah, I know > there are places with laws like that, but there shouldn't be. Freedom from religion simple means churches don't have to hide there crosses from public view, and Jesus fish bumper stickers won't be outlawed. > Resist the efforts to create a one world government - Is that really a threat? Seriously? Can we maybe think of better ways to spend our effort than refusing to cooperate with the UN? They're not going to become a world government any time soon. You can barely get the EU to function as a governing body without tearing itself apart, let alone the UN. > The UN Treaty on Rights of the Child would surrender our rights to raise our children how we chose based on an unelected panels decisions. The Law Of The Sea Treaty on quick glance looks like we surrender control of our waterways to a UN panel. Without no much about them I do see why they are concerned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:318313 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
