Message | 'No' is not a reasonable argument...tell me why allowing people to choose whetehr or not they want vouchers in their locality is a bad idea? |

Message | But you're paying the same, maybe more through taxes anyway..... and all this does is gives you an option to vote in your local community, wherther or not you want vouchers.. we aren't shutting down any public schools.. |
