Would the FDP consider putting up a billboard around the state showing the low level of
Florida's public schools? It's time to shame the GOP about how it treats our schools. I'm thinking a billboard that shows some stats like these:

1) our low grad rate
2) our low SAT/ACT scores
3) our low investment in education
4) our poorly rated pre-K program
5) our mediocre universities

People in this state know that our schools are suffering, but they don't realize that the GOP has dominated for 12 years, going on 13. I suggest a billboard on all major highways around this state!

2. That is no reason to hide. We must fight back.
