We can do this!

America, watching the Celebrity Apprentice, I saw two groups of celebrities, raise over 1.6 million dollars for charity in just a two hour show. A magnificent feat!. It lead me to this question! suppose we the American people in our own States were to put together a statewide fund raiser to help get the States budget in order! kinda make you go hum! right.?. I know that in my state of Texas we are experiencing a budget shortfall and our Teachers , Public Workers as well as our children's education are at stake. Teachers are being offered up to $10,000 dollars to retire now. At a time when the unemployment rates has dropped to a promising level, now is not in my opinion the time to add several thousand people too that number. While I don't mean to equate a charity with the financial woes of our country, I do however see a dire need for change , especially when our children are at risk of falling even further behind in education. I mean think about it! We live in a country that allows Athlete's, Artist, Actors as well as many other professions to make more money than they could possible spend in two lifetimes, but when it comes to our Teachers, Educators, and our children education, well lets just say it is pathetic. somethings not right! I love the foundations and non-profits that continue to help people all over the world, American is known for that , but it seems to me, that every time there is a need for sacrifices to be made, it starts with the poor working class people first. I've said before and I'll say it again , people wouldn't mind tightening the belts if it included everybody!!!. A wise man once said " A man can never reach new horizon's unless he first looses sight of the shores" I don't know if this fundraiser thing is possible but, I just wanted to put it out there in hopes that some one will organize and /or initiate the process , because our children deserves better! This would save our children, keep our teachers and public workers employed and balance the budget! its a win win ! I'm just saying!
