		<description><![CDATA[What makes this even more interested is that the most recent (or upcoming, I&#039;m not sure the mailing status) edition of Education Next (that unscholarly journal) shows a poll in which a relevant political bloc for this election, African-Americans, are 90% in favor of vouchers while simultaneously 90% think that the Democratic Party is better at advancing their interests in education. Perhaps with more progress like this--led, as mentioned, by African-American Democrats--those numbers may seem a little less contradictory.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think this is big.  Black urban democrats favor school choice more than any other demographic.  Black urban politicians shy from choice for the reason stated by Cory Booker.

&quot;&quot;The politics are so vicious,&quot; Booker complained, remembering how he&#039;d been told his political career would be over if he kept pushing school choice&quot;

The teacher’s unions are telling people that ‘If you support school choice you are finished in this town’.  Politicians can’t search for viable alternatives for the children in their districts without aggressive scrutiny and opposition.  And when people like Booker break the veil it is no surprise that other people in the same political system give him a &quot;Hell Yeah!&quot;, because they all know the oppressive ties of the system.

It is about time, and to mix metaphors the time is ripe for the pickin.

I love your work and that of Mr. Greene.  This blog was a fantastic idea and I check it every day.

What you guys do will change lives.  Real lives.  You will change the trajectory of many Americans.  Don’t ever forget that.  Your work has an awesome power to benefit the people that need that benefit more than anyone else.  

I have faith in you and the Foundation.  I have pride in you in my support.  I wish I could speed up time, because at some point school choice will seem like an after thought.  In the mean time though I console myself that time is on our side.

The tide is turning.  Keep fighting.  May God Bless You.

I think this is fantastic news.]]></description>
