Kathy Castor, FL-11
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 05:45 PM I am Kathy Castor from the state of Florida. Here’s a note from Liz from Missouri: “I support Barack Obama because of my beautiful granddaughter. As I sit and watch in awe of her growth, her intelligence and her innocence, I think about the current state of our nation’s public education.” Barack Obama knows that No Child Left Behind has left millions behind. He will reform it and focus on early childhood education to get our kids on the right track from the start. He joined all Democrats in Congress to pass the largest investment in college aid in 64 years. John McCain opposed that plan. And Barack Obama championed the largest increase in education benefits for our troops since the GI bill. John McCain said it was too generous. Women struggling to provide their children with a good education know that we can’t afford more of the same.
