Education policies alone put Coakley at the top
Massachusetts is about to make a critical decision. Our representatives in the U.S. Senate are our most powerful advocates in Washington. We have been fortunate in the quality and clout of our senators, and we need to get engaged in the current campaign.
While all the candidates have their strengths and experiences, Martha Coakley stands out to me as the person who can be a great senator. Her education policies are thoughtful and will support our schools' needed improvements. No one anywhere has done more to protect children and promote the welfare of families than she has in her work as attorney general. I am convinced she has the values, intelligence and judgment to be the advocate we need in Washington.
As a high school government teacher at Harwich High School for 13 years, I have used many exercises — exit polls, voter surveys, etc. — to engage my students. Our activist group works tirelessly to raise money and awareness of human rights issues around the world. Our students learn to follow politics and to get involved.
We, as a state, need to be involved right now. It has been 27 years since we chose a new senator. This is a critical election; I hope everyone turns out and votes!
