U.S. Rep would rather kill our children than educate them.

An acquaintance of mine wrote this guest column in today's edition of Florida Today. I am appalled this man ostensibly represents my interests in Washington. *shudder*

"One of us repeated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assertion that spending more money on military expenses than on programs of social uplift connotes spiritual decline.

We were dumbfounded when Weldon responded, 'We don't spend enough on defense. If I had it my way, I would shut down the federal Department of Education and give the money to the states. Defense spending is not enough.'"
