I think it was putnam in his book said its more important for parents to read to their children the first four years of their life to pay for four years of college. I dont think that message is out there. That the message from either party about how important this Public Policy issue is of reknitting the American Family. Were going to go to nicole from roll call. [ inaudible question ] well, obviously, i talk about the importance of targeting voters who have been left behind by this economy in the last ten years.
