The Land Of Limited Opportunity

Georgia needs your "Yes" vote on Amendment 1 for its future.

America was once labeled “The Land Of Opportunity” but today we can’t even read the label, not because it has been worn out but because so much red-tape has been plastered all over it that you can’t even make out the words.

Georgians have an opportunity to remove much of the red-tape on our state education system November 6th by simply walking into the polls and voting “Yes” to Amendment 1. This vote will open the door of opportunity to children all over the state - not just in your local - community to a brighter future.

The United States of America once was considered a country of great innovation, where people flocked here to be a part of a successful country and all the opportunities that it offered. But Georgia has slowed to a snails pace when it comes to innovation in education compared to other parts of the nation and the world.  Are we going to sit by and allow our children to continue to struggle and let the innovative ideas of our heritage gain another layer of dust? Or are we going to let the competition eat our dust?  It's up to you....if you want to stay stuck in the status quo quick-sand vote no but if you want to get out of the muck and improve the future vote YES on Amendment 1.

Every child deserves an opportunity to learn and every teacher deserves the opportunity to teach.  Please give them these opportunities with a “Yes” vote and send a life line to the child that is slipping through the crack.
