I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

So if you ask what education policies do Republicans OPPOSE:
- Curriculum mandates
-Federal Funding
- Teacher unions
- Funding for higher education
- Student loan forgiveness
- Pell grants
Republicans do not support teachers or funding for educational programs. They SUPPORT tax breaks for the rich.

The monster within his lair
Trump is pushing 170,000 Americans with disabilities out of their home and on to the streets. He’s cutting more than $2 million from the program that provides long-term housing to people with disabilities, most of whom are 50+ in age. Cruel. And a typical Trump solution to housing affordability.
