Gore Tells an Emotional Story About His Sister's 1984 Death from Lung
Cancer...
"When I was a child, my family was attacked by an invisible force
that was then considered harmless. My sister Nancy was older than me. There
were only the two of us. And I loved her more than life itself. She started
smoking when she was 13 years old. The connection between smoking and lung
cancer had not yet been established. But years later, the cigarettes had
taken their toll. It hurt very badly to watch her savaged by that terrible
disease. Her husband Frank and all of us who loved her so much tried to get
her to stop smoking."
"Tomorrow morning, another 13-year-old girl will start smoking. I
love her too. 3,000 young people in America will start smoking tomorrow.
1,000 of them will die a death not unlike my sister's. And that is why until
I draw my last breath, I will poor pour my heart and soul into the cause of
protecting our children from the dangers of smoking." (Al Gore, The Democrat
National Convention,

...Four Years After His Sister's Death From Cancer al is singing a different tune......

'"Throughout most of my life, I raised tobacco,' the Tennessee
senator hollered. 'I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my
life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I've hoed it, I've dug
in it, I've sprayed it, I've chopped it, I've shredded it, spiked it, put it
in the barn and stripped it and sold it.'" ([New York] Newsday,

Charter schools are not the voucher system Bush proposes. Charter schools were pioneered in California and later were adopted as a model by some other states.

If you investigate their history, you may find a trail which leads back to your treasured "Ann." as I recall she was promoting it heavily when she was governor.
