Competition and choice, two cornerstones of the overwhelming success of a young country called the United States.

Competition brings us more choices at better prices.  Sounds like a great concept.  That's why a 19" color television is half of the cost of the same unit that my parents purchased in 1970. That's why the United States enjoys the tremendous standard of living we have today. It is why we are the strongest country in the world.

Consumer goods, automobiles, housing, personal services, and higher education all benefit from a competitive free market economy.

There remains only one market that suffers under the tyranny of an evil monarch, and the lack of competition and choice is most damning to the overall strength of our democracy.  That market is public education, and the monarch is King NEA (National Education Association). Consistently when well intended parents say they want to enjoy the benefits of competition and choice for their children King NEA rears his ugly head and quashes the rebels.

Whether it is school choice programs for inner city parents, or state wide referendums in California and Michigan, King NEA will spend billions to prevent competition or choice in public education.  I witnessed the
10M that King NEA spent to fight a state wide referendum on school choice in California.  As a private school parent the television smear campaign against school choice was so compelling I began to wonder if I was endangering my own children by sending them to a religious school.

Now King NEA is at it again.  Duly elected officials in UTAH Passed the Parent Choice in Education Act in February of 2007, which would provide vouchers to public school children who transfer to a private school.
The law if enacted would save Utah residents billions of dollars in new school construction costs, without reducing current funds for public schools.  Parents would have a choice of schools for their children, and competition would lead to better schools for Utah students.  A Win, Win, Win situation for the residents of Utah, but not if you are King NEA and your goal is to keep your subjects subservient to you.  King NEA is forcing a referendum, and pumping millions into attempting to convince Utah residents they have it better with a monarchy than a democracy.  Good citizens of Utah, revolt and overthrow King NEA, your children's and the  American dream depend on you!
