| Message | Considering our recent bill suggestion and since we fundamentally believe education should remain in the privy of government to ensure equity, we will not be able to offer support this bill. Our children are not commodities to be used by corporations or shareholders in order to make a profit. |

| Message | I believe the student shoudl have a choice...public or private education, but that vouchers should be issued to ANY student desiring private education. Since this is a step in the right direction, I'll agree to it. |
