"And understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I'm in the White House, I'll put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself, I'll walk on that picket line with you as President of the (USA). Because workers deserve to know that somebody is standing in their corner." - Barack Obama in Spartanburg, SC. 11/3/07 (Video: bit.ly/fSCkq3)
The Chicago Board of Education is lavishing corporate welfare on private schools, and starving the public education system. The Chicago Teachers Union has thus taken the struggle for children to the streets on Monday, Sep. 10.
We call on the President to keep his promise to "walk on that picket line" and join teachers, students, parents and citizens who support public education. Do it for the children!
