"On November 4, 2008, Americans enthusiastically voiced their support for the dual promises of your presidential campaign – hope and change. On that night, people all over the world were inspired and mobilized by your simply stated belief that better days lie ahead - Yes We Can."
That's the beginning of a petition to President-Elect Obama, asking him to keep education a priority. It continues in more detail, pledging that we'll work with the administration on four principles:
1) Every child deserves a 21st Century education.
2) Every community deserves an equal chance.
3) Every child deserves a well-supported teacher.
4) Every child deserves high-quality health care.
