Craig my name is craig hall. I basically consider myself an amateur military historian. I do various impressions. This impression here today is to represent the contribution of the soviet union as an ally of the americans and the british, to helping them win world war ii. We have to give equal credit to our allies. Some would say, we couldnt have done it by ourselves, but the point is people ask me why do i do this impression. I think because the reason is that we need to tell the story about the eastern front. If you dont understand what happened on the eastern front, you dont understand world war ii. The soviets made a significant contribution to winning that war. Now, for example, what i normally do is, on my display on the table over here, i have a National Geographic magazine dated may, 1944.

Government to put their interests first. In contract negotiations, unions always insist on senioritybased layoffs. This gives guaranteed job security to their more senior members, but it also means that School Districts are forced to lay off the new hires first, even if those teachers are star performers. Parents object, but the unions have decided they can accept that. And unions also want, understandably, very generous Retirement Benefits for their members. In michigan, 27 of School Districts budgets are going to provide pensions and health benefits, and its not hard to see why. In this state, you can retire after 25 years to collect full benefits. So you have a lot of teachers retiring in their late 40s or their early 50s. But if you care about dollars being spent in the classroom, that is a problem. The Michigan Education association used their clout to cut the bill. If costs were going to be cut, they wanted those cuts to come elsewhere. Or they wanted taxes to go up. That is what
