As a member of the Libertarian Political Party and the Citizens for a Sound Economy I stand for the homeowners, taxpapers, and consumers of Fullerton. For years our people have had to pay two dollars in taxes to get one dollars worth of education, that is not acceptable to me. I want the members of the California Teachers Union to understand that if the homeowners, taxpayers, and consumers of Fullerton do not win, then teachers do not win. By that I mean that teachers are in danger of spending so much time fighting layoffs and wage cutts that they may never be in a position to ask for more teachers to be hired or raises given them. As a citizen who learned in the schools, colleges, and now a state universty in California, I want the students to get the English and math skills that they need to make a career for themselves. As a friend of Mayor Clesceri, I support the Excellence in education Program. I think it is one of the best things that has ever happened to our community. I am concerned about the two pro-abortion groups who are trying to force our schools to send girls to abortion clinics without the knowledge and consent of thier parents. If one girl dies in an abortion clinic and our schools sent her there without the knowledge and consent of her parents, then our schools could be sued for millions. I want our tax money used to give students a good education, not pay off lawsuits that can be avoided.
