vouchers to allow inner city kids attend other public schools in the suburbs? So far the criteria and the results have all been phony. Watch the money, I'm sure you will start to see the proposals changing to provide public funding for religious "schools". TP

Let's improve our public schools! I have to vote next week on two initiatives that would do just that. Also, in the past, in Seattle, kids from poorer areas were bussed out to our area. I don't know if they still do it though. I don't have any kids so it is difficult to follow what is going on in the schools. I see Senate has put Ascroft nomination on hold. Last week or so, I told Tiger Paw that The Washington Post questioned some of Ascroft's statements b4 the Senate. I may still have their objections on my compuer. OPPOSE ASHCROFT uspolitics.about.com First Batch of Petitions Delivered! On Tuesday, People For the American Way delivered to U.S. Senators the first 130,000 petitions collected on this website. As our nation's chief lawyer and principal enforcer of federal civil rights laws and other federal laws, the position of Attorney General must be filled by somebody beyond reproach: a person of integrity and good judgment. John Ashcroft is a right-wing conservative with an exceptionally poor civil rights record and an astonishingly bad history concerning reproductive rights. He has voted against affirmative action and anti-discrimination laws, against a crucial AIDS provision, against environmental protections, and has received extraordinarily high ratings and accolades from prominent ultra-conservative groups and institutions like the Christian Coalition and Bob Jones University. Moreover, Mr. Ashcroft's actions regarding the Ronnie White nomination demonstrate a clear lack of integrity. People For the American Way, the NAACP, NARAL, LCCR, the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, the National Council of Jewish Women and other groups oppose the nomination of former Senator John Ashcroft to the position of Attorney General. Review our fact sheets and reports highlighting Ashcroft's extreme record. Then add your voice by signing the following petition, which will be delivered to your Senator. If you indicate that you would like to receive updates on the confirmation process, we will let you know the number of signatures collected wen they are delivered. Dear U.S. Senators, The Attorney General is the nation's chief enforcer of civil rights and other laws. John Ashcroft's record as Missouri's Attorney General, Governor and Senator demonstrates that he is not the right person for that job. I strongly oppose the confirmation of John Ashcroft to be U.S. Attorney General and I feel confident that you will reach the same conclusion after reviewing his record.
