I DECIDE: '08 ELECTION

Our Association is uniquely poised to play a major role in Election 2008. Public school teachers have been near the top of the list of America's most admired spokespersons for decades, and according to the Harris polling firm, teachers' grades among the nation's "most admired professions" have improved by an average of 23 percentage points over the past 15 years. Along with millions of classroom teachers, our Association also represents education support professionals, retired educators, higher education faculty and support staff, and college students preparing to enter the teaching profession.

Our Association's 3.2 million members (more than 38,500 in Colorado) live in every state, in every Congressional district, and in every precinct. In fact, there is one Association member among every 100 Americans.

We hope you will learn how the two presidential candidates - Barack Obama and John McCain - measure up on public education issues.
