“I spoke to a group of different organizations just this morning about this issue of education tax credits. There were taxpayer organizations there, family organizations, church groups, synagogues represented. It was just a number of organizations that care about education, and they are here in Washington. There must have been about 100 people in the room. They were all very enthusiastic about the proposal. They want to help. They are writing letters to congressmen and making phone calls to the people that they know here. I think it is important for our colleagues and anyone else who may be monitoring tonight's proceedings to know that this is a very real proposal. It is in play. We do need the voices of Americans to raise up and rally around this education tax credit bill. It is not introduced yet; it will be introduced in a couple of weeks. I think it is really important for all of us to contact our colleagues here in the Congress, particularly those who serve on the Committee on Ways and Means and in our leadership, and voice in the strongest terms possible support for this freedom-based tax credit proposal to help children and to get it passed.”
