Edreform Election Tools
Dear Voter,
No doubt you’re as tired of all the ads as we are, but in this great nation, having the opportunity to vote for one’s precious ideals is such a gift that we all tend grin and bear it! Another thing we tend to grin and bear is the condition of our schools, which remain in trouble, and despite tremendous progress over time, are not delivering the kind of education our children need and deserve.
You can do something about that this Election Day.
The Center for Education Reform’s CANDIDATE METER has evergreen advice for your use in measuring the multitude of positions and opinions offered by your candidates for local, state and even national office. We know that despite our best efforts, it’s easy to end up voting for people without regard for their education reform views because we just don’t know them or they sound pretty good.
The reality is that if a candidate doesn’t have a strong point of view one way or the other about school choice, charter schools accountability and teacher quality, he or she is very unlikely to get reform minded after elected. So now’s the time to make sure you can measure your candidate’s pedigree on education reform to spread the word among your family, friends and colleagues so as to ensure exceptional results for education reform across the country.
We know the status quo has been out in droves to fight candidates and initiatives that are pro-edreform and has millions of dollars invested to help them do so. We know voters who typically need school choice or access to better and brighter teachers are often disenfranchised by the process and union propaganda.
The time is now to help elect Education Reform! CER, for the past 20 years has been tracking campaigns, candidate platforms, ballot initiatives and has developed an arsenal of data and analysis on how education reform can win on Election Day.
So please use these tools, forward this to 10 of your friends and get ready to VOTE for EDREFORM!
