I don't just want teachers in need of affirmation listening to it, or even people who don't teach but like teachers.

I want your everyman on the street listening to it, who wonders why teachers do such a thankless job for so little pay.

I want politicians listening to it as they decide that high-stakes standardized testing will make citizens out of children, and as they decide that high-stakes standardized testing judges a teacher's ability rather than her district's funding, and as they decide what that district's funding is going to be and therefore decide whether the teacher has a job and the student has a chance.

I want YOU listening to that and reading this, and everyone we know, as we go into the primaries and approach the day we can stand in front of the machine or bubble sheet and tell the rest of the nation and the world that THIS is who we believe in to lead this country and determine the fate of all our people.
