It is a time to get critical questions from the field to the campaigns, to ask the candidates these questions at every opportunity, and -- we hope -- to get increasing commitment to support adult literacy education. The organizers of SAVE NIFL have launched another effort, called Literacy President. Its goal is to increase Presidential commitment regardless of which candidate is elected. Its initial activities include: 1) Over the next two weeks we would like you to post your questions for the Presidential candidates to the AAACE-NLA list. To subscribe to AAACE-NLA go to http://lists.literacytent.org/mailman/listinfo/aaace-nla scroll to the bottom of the page, and follow the simple directions. 2) In Mid-May we will take your questions and create an online survey where you and other adult literacy practitioners and adult learners across the country can vote on them. 3) We will take the top 5-10 questions and get them to the Presidential campaigns in May or June. There will be other activities, but we'll begin with these. Please post your questions -- to AAACE-NLA -- now. You can send as many as you like, but please try to make them as clear as you can, write in plain English, and keep them short if you can. If you want to discuss the campaign, please respect the focus of this list, and instead of discussing it here, let your views be known on the AAACE-NLA list. Thanks. David J. Rosen djrosen@comcast.net
