An Unlikely Trio

This one isn't from the usual suspects (MoveOn/TrueMajority), but it's interesting nonetheless.


Dear Aaron,

There's a lot of heated discussion right now in America over big issues. That's democracy. But it's also important to work together where we can find common ground, to achieve a common goal.

President Obama has asked our General Chairman Newt Gingrich to work with him on an issue where we've found common ground - education reform. We believe the President has shown courage on an issue Americans care deeply about, and that is charter schools. He deserves a helping hand, because fixing education for our children should not be a partisan issue.

So on behalf of American Solutions, Newt will be joining Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Reverend Al Sharpton on a multi-city tour focused on reforming America's schools.

For behind the scenes tour updates, and to see the solutions Newt will be proposing, click here.

Our tour will include school visits, stakeholder meetings and media briefings, and we hope to regularly update you on what we learn, what solutions we propose, and how you can get involved.

This tour is about our children and their future. It is about the future of America. If we want to remain the safest, freest and most prosperous nation in the world, our children and grandchildren must have access to schools where they can learn to their fullest potential. Our schools must be accountable for results and be focused solely on learning and achievement.

To learn about some of the solutions we believe are necessary, and to stay updated on our education reform tour, don't forget to sign up here


Sincerely,

Dan Varroney

My response that they'll never read:

Umm...Newt Gingrich and Al Sharpton are gonna fix our schools? Lord help us!

I have an idea: close down the federal Department of (non)Education. That should do wonders. Would be a good start, anyway.

Newt and Al, saving the world for the children. Oi... what's next? Hillary and Palin saving us from the evil Republican-Democrat regime of tyranny?
