I have a radical idea: let's let parents choose where to send their kids to school, let's make it easier for them to save for their children's education, let's give every kid in America access to a great school. Our current education system works for many, but it is failing too many others. Today, I introduced a bill to change that. My bill, H.R. 5477, lets Federal education dollars follow students. It lets parents use 529 education savings accounts on pre-K to 12 education expenses. It eliminates the cap on contributions to Coverdell education savings accounts and allows those funds to be used for home schooling. Some may say our current system is the best we can do. But deep down we all know we must do better. Let's give all students a chance no matter where they live. Let's pass the Enhancing Educational Opportunities for All Students Act and make that dream a reality for every child. ____________________

Nothing unites Indiana's Sixth Congressional District quite like the simple phrase, ``we must stand with Israel.'' Throughout most of my rural district that has far more Christian churches than synagogues, Hoosiers are united in their…
