Patricia Schroeder: “I believe that when someone shows you their leader, they are showing you a part of their soul. I must say, our soul…”

“I believe that when someone shows you their leader, they are showing you a part of their soul. I must say, our soul around here is pretty sick. I am one of the few people who voted against the last continuing resolution because it was a 20 percent cut from education. In my district in Denver, they were laying off Head Start workers because of this cut. Can you imagine our doing that to 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, and 5-year-olds? That is wrong. What kind of a soul does it take to do that? I certainly hope that a lot of us wake up and find out that when we continue to have this little window to our soul by how we vote, people are going to get more and more alienated by what is going on in this town. If we do not care about our children, if we do not prepare for our future, this country is really on the wrong course. We must put our children first, We cannot shortchange them on education.”
