I rounded up the base price to a round dollar amount.  I make one cent  on 
each.  That way I can count  what is bought.  

How  serious are you out there, teachers?  Will you really wear a boycott 
shirt  or button? When I get the ink, I am sending out the buttons to Susan 
Harmon and  anyone who asks for them.

Yes, fear is a controlling thing.  Yes,  there is fear everywhere.  But the 
biggest terrorist we have right now is  NCLB.  It's 8 % of the budget.  It 
controls 100 % of the  curriculum.

Geez oh peetz--Bush doesn't even obey the Constitution.   He is wiping out 
freedoms left and right.  He is the Prince of liars and  yet--here are millions 
of teachers in fear of boycotting a Law so evil it is  destroying public 
education.

Please oh please at least somewhere, someone  take a stand and boycott this 
NCLB testing crap.  I need a hero, for  today.  (Susan Ohanian is in Seoul, 
Korea or on her way there.)

When  I am 90, I want to tell the story of the brave and angry few who said 
'no!' to  NCLB testing.  I want to say how it all began--with Ken, and Susan 
and the  others in Marin county.  I want to say it spread across this land like  
fire...

But I am only 67, and I can dream...gh
