“Decide for Yourselves: Maria Berry, SBOE Candidate -- WATCH”

After watching the short audio clip (posted below), we believe you will be excited about supporting Maria Berry for the Texas State Board of Education. She (and her husband) are deeply committed Christians, and we need so badly for her to be a Godly leader on the Board because of the tremendous influence that these 15 SBOE members wield over children’s lives.

=============================
PLEASE CONSIDER THESE FACTS:
The Texas State Board of Education is made up of only 15 elected members. The way each of these 15 people on the SBOE votes directly impacts
5 ½ million students, 750,000 educators, and 1200 school districts/charters.
In reality, the way each of these 15 people on the SBOE votes impacts each and every Texan because we all depend upon having people around us who are well-educated.
Whenever we need a first responder, seek medical care, go to the grocery store, access any type of business, perform a monetary transaction, or get on an airplane, we are dependent upon the educational level of those serving us. If those people around us are prone to make errors in judgment because of their lack of expertise and background knowledge, our very lives could be at risk.
In contrast, however, the 15 elected members of the SBOE receive no remuneration for their many hours of service, have no paid staffs nor offices, and receive no taxpayer-funded benefits.
I actually think that is a good thing because the SBOE members serve out of their heart’s desire to do good and not out of any monetary gain. They are not obligated to any big lobbying groups. Teaching is a worthy profession because of the importance of children. Being on the SBOE is a worthy goal for the same reason.
At the same time, we voters must support monetarily those who run for the SBOE. We cannot expect them to go into personal debt during their campaigns and then serve on the Board without pay and without any remuneration to retire that debt.
Typically the big donors give to legislators and forget about the tremendous importance of the SBOE. It is up to the thousands of us every day “moms and pops” to help fund great SBOE candidates such as Maria Berry.
In three minutes, a person can donate easily on Maria Berry’s campaign website. If each of us gave $10, $20, or more, think of how much that added together would help her to gain name recognition when it comes time for people to vote.
If we do not care about the future of our school children, who will?
