You are doing a great job in the battle to halt the dumbing down of the US… keep it up!
I agree with the person above. The “dumbing down” of America must end!! Keep fighting!!!
This country needs more people (perhaps especially the next generation) who engage in critical thinking and are willing to challenge those who rely on ignorance and fear as a way to power — if you’re ever thinking of running for public office, I should hope that you have “millions” to Bachman’s “hundreds” that will support you !
Hello from the UK! I offer you my support – anything I can do to publicise and help your campaign, just let me know. I’m following you on Twitter and will RT your tweets.
