Election
'08 With the two remaining Democratic presidential candidates
scrambling to gather enough delegates to win their parties' nominations,
and the Republican candidate already decided on, our Association
is uniquely poised to play a major role in Election 2008. Public
school teachers have been near the top of the list of America's
most admired spokespersons for decades, and according to the Harris
polling firm, teachers' grades among the nation's "most admired
professions" have improved by an average of 23 percentage
points over the past 15 years. Along with millions of classroom
teachers, our Association also represents education support professionals,
retired educators, higher education faculty and support staff,
and college students preparing to enter the teaching profession.
Our
Association's 1,500 members, more than 38,000 in Colorado and
3.5 million nationally live in every state, in every Congressional
district, and in every precinct. In fact, there is one Association
member among every 100 Americans.
Now
is the time for all Association members and their family and friends
to check out how the presidential candidates measure up on public
education issues.
AEA
members will have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the
national election, as well as a voice in the national debate on
the direction public education must take in order to offer a 21st
century education, and a great public school for every student.
