Bob Lord for Congress 3rd District




Dear Friends,

Investment in education is a critical priority for the future of our economy, and this week, I'm taking time to show you my commitment to the future of education in Arizona and the nation. Our education system today represents the strength of our economy 20 years from now. Washington needs to see that investments in our public schools and in access to higher education is a critical investment in the future, something that John Shadegg refuses to see.

John Shadegg has been a constant opponent of improving America's schools. For example, Shadegg has endorsed the elimination of the Department of Education and voted against Head Start. In 2006, Shadegg voted to cut $2.2 billion from the Department of Education. Shadegg voted against special education programs and against reducing class size. Shadegg is a roadblock to giving every child a world-class education.

Read my Commitment to Education and call our campaign at 602-274-0068 to get involved. You can also email us at [e-mail].

Thanks for your support,


Also This Week – Join us!
