So frustrated

I believe in the power of the vote.  I believe that it is my duty as an American to stand up a let my voice be heard.  Today, as many in the past couple of weeks, I am beyond frustrated.  I know where I stand on most issues.  I know what I believe in most instances.  Sure, there are things in my life I question.   I wonder if I am right.  I wonder if I should chose to follow.  But when it comes to education I know how I want my kids to be taught.  I know what kind of teacher/parent I am.  I am frustrated today because I can't make things better for my state.  I wonder how a group of money hungry individuals have gained so much trust by other Idahoans that they were elected in to a position where they get to choose to take away my rights.  Today the Idaho senate voted through 2 of the 3 education bills we have been fighting to get rid of.  The third bill was not voted down, but simply set aside for another day.  Are people really such sheep that they would follow this lunacy?  That they would put teachers last?  Don't get me wrong, I believe in accountability.  I also believe in fair pay, benefits and retirement.  What happen to a middle ground?  What happen to making an educated choice?  I can tell you in one word what has happened to not only Idaho, but our entire nations, GREED. 




Today I am thankful for teachers.  You are under appreciated, under paid and over whelmed.  Our country should stand beside you and I am sorry that so many have chose to walk ahead.  Keep fighting.
