I love that I got this e-mail from a former student of mine who I have no doubt will continue to do amazing things to support her community.


Your vote is needed. Stand proud and vote for QUARTER 5, "Navajo Code Talkers." There's a deadline, so HURRY! The state of Arizona's quarter will come out in the year 2008. Vote here.

It'll be about time Native Americans get recognized for something GOOD!

The Governor has the ultimate decision, but she's indicated she'll abide by the people's choice.

(Here's a hint -- the votes are among the following quarters:
  • three a-political, stereotypical landscapes,
  • one celebration of white guy explorers, or
  • the one commemorating Native American war heroes whose language proved to be an unbreakable code that helped us win World War II (in just 4 years, by the way, something Bush can't accomplish in Iraq).
P.S. The Code Talkers are winning by a vast majority. Add your vote!
