Like most moms, everyday when I wake up my first thoughts are of my children. What will they do today? What will they learn at school? When I think about their future I think of a Pennsylvania where they can go to school in a safe environment and receive a higher education at an affordable rate. I think of a Pennsylvania where teachers have the resources to teach a wealth of knowledge and where every working family can afford their bills. I think of a Pennsylvania where every parent can afford healthcare and our children have clean air to breathe. I think about what a bright future looks like for them – and it is not this.
