Why Children Must Be a Priority in the 2008 Elections
| August 10, 2007 |  View for printing |
The Every Child Matters Education Fund's new document, Homeland Insecurity Why Children Must Be a Priority in the 2008 Presidential Campaign, is a 20 page report which makes the case for new investments in children, youth and families. It provides data comparing the well-being of children in the U.S. to other rich democracies. And it shows marked differences in child well-being among the 50 states. It also includes six questions that should be answered by the presidential candidates.
This latest publication is part of our non-partisan initiative to spark public debate about the role of government in addressing the needs of children. Other major elements in the initiative include waging public education campaigns in the key early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, plus hosting presidential candidate forums devoted to discussion of children s issues.
