No Child Left Behind . . . Except Those Living in George Bush's America

First, a shout out to Marian Wright Edelman for all her years of working for America's kids.

Want to know what Cheney and crew gave America's kids for Christmas this year? I don't think the White House is advertising it. Cheney provided the tie breaking vote in the Senate on a budget bill that rips deep into programs for poor and low-income families. Cuts in Medicaid, child support, child care, and foster care among other things. But things aren't done yet. The House actually has a chance to vote on the budget bill again this month. A chance NOT TO give more money to the richest Americans by stealing it from the poorest and the children. Does the House have the balls to protect our kids?

Come on guys, do the right thing. Just this once. Maybe it'll start to be a habit.
