“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”
― John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

Every Child Matters

Homeland Insecurity
...Why children must be a priority in the 2008 presidential campaign
A new report by the Every Child Matters Education fund focuses on the issues facing millions of America's children and families including health, child abuse, imprisonment and poverty. Additional challenges include substance abuse, homelessness, the lack of quality child care for millions of children while parents work, no access to school readiness experiences for millions more, and yet additional millions unsupervised and alone every day after school.

The report documents statistics such as: 8.6 MILLION American children are without health insurance, more than 3 MILLION are reported abused and neglected, nearly 2 MILLION have parents in prison, and 13.6 MILLION live in poverty’s grip.
The report provides facts and figures to back up its call for new investments in children and families.
