All lawmakers have their own agenda, they could care less about their constituents, this is why we need TERM LIMITS.

Butt hurt liberal media!

John, do you think this bill was passed in an ethical manner? Big Daddy government, as the Republicans take a page from the Democrats book, and pass the bill so we can see what is in the bill.

both sides lie lie lie, they only want power and campaign money. wake up sheep!

From the community comes a plea. We realize that inflammatory editorials are part and parcel of Decatur Daily publication, but, we ask that the local public school teachers restrain their vengeful malice for the citizenry whose overwhelming majority will is being carried out by the Republican Party. We humbly ask that you find a place in your hearts for our will. Further, we beseech you, please do not hurt us, and, please, do not hurt our children, our most precious gifts. We, your friends and neighbors, have for years been terrorized by your social agenda, the loss of cooperation, and unlearned children, to the point that we now seek your favor. It is with the utmost concern for what we believe is right for our children that we request cooperation rather than resistance in the coming transition. We pray that you forgo any corruptive clandestine endeavors to thwart public determination, and, ask to be delivered from those who would intentionally inflict vengeful harm on children under the shrill banner of, "You made this bed, now lie in it!," or, "You should never have elected those fools!," or, "This is what you get!," hardly the sort of atmosphere into which we would desire to place our children. Is there room in your hearts for us, your brethren? Will you help us, your friends and neighbors? Will you help our children with the impending changes? We beg you, bestow your mercy upon us.

Isn't it ironic that the best argument a democratic newspaper can make against a Republican piece of legislation is that "it's as bad as something we would do?"

Oh where oh where is Senator Orr? Come out, come out, where ever you are!

In order to be eligible for a TAX CREDIT, you must have paid in taxes throughout the year. In order to be eligible for the maximum tax credit pursuant to this bill, you must have earned wages in the approximate six figure range. Hmmmm....wonder who will benefit the most??? Seems to me it will be those who ALREADY send their children to private schools....

The teacher I know would never hurt our children they work to hard for them despite the leaders of our state who continuously do everything to derail any chance the state of Alabama has to come into the 21 century. TERM LIMITS are needed politicians continue to show that they are only for themselves and NOT for the PEOPLE. When will WE THE PEOPLE learn that and make them do for us!!! TERM LIMITS

Dear Otis,

I am certain that your child's teacher, whoever he or she is, has already opened their heart and has shown much mercy to your unfortunate off spring. Good teachers never judge or punish children for the acts of ignorant adults. We keep teaching and making do, despite the scorn heaped upon us by people like you. You see, I chose my vocation based on my love of children, and compulsion to help others. I don't begrudge you fair treatment and fair compensation, why do you want to deny it to me?

Greg, if you call my comment into question, please respond to its subject. Compensation is unmentioned, you are responding to that which is not there. I do not begrudge you the right to oppose proposed legislation as a private citizen. I do oppose, however, any interference with enacted law and its implementation, and, as a taxpayer, I expect your full and unconditional cooperation. Do you plan to participate in "Decatur High"s clandestine endeavor in the secret hope it will bring about a massive lawsuit against us all? Do you plan to incite racial and economic animus in the classroom, away from parents? Do you allow incendiary teacher rhetoric to go unopposed in the Decatur Daily comment section as long as it furthers the union agenda? Do you believe the overwhelming majority is misguided, and, that only public school teachers and the Democrat Party know what is best for our children? Have you participated in organizing against us, your friends and neighbors? Do you believe that flooding the private schools with the underprivileged and thwarting public will for political gain is not "hurting children?" My hope is that you can answer "no" to these questions, and, that we might find common ground. It is my belief that many teachers, perhaps a majority, are not the educational arsonists that routinely appear in the comment section. Absent teacher refutation, even anonymously in newspaper comment sections, the citizenry is left to wonder. In any case, as I have noted previously, the fate of public schools rests with them. Personally, I wish them Godspeed.

vote libertarian!!!!!!!

Otis The bill is good for you as now credit can be given to; Buddish, Muslin, Jewish, Hindu, Islam,Latter Day Saints, Christian, and you name which other private groups can now have schools so they cana get the vouchers.

Be prepared as they will be many private schools organized for the sole purpose of getting the money.

This history of abuse would change, GOP candidates promised in 2010, if they were elected. They would govern with transparency.

BULL SH#T . Be prepared as there will be many private schools organized for the sole purpose of getting the money.

.

Del Marsh the leader of the bill is like a Dictator in a South American country.

Maybe this will open our eyes that Republican politicans are not any different than Democrats politicans.

Hey Otis why don't you quit trying to be all HOLIER THAN THOU and get a teaching degree and go see a large majority of students go to school today with no teaching at home before they are school age and then expect all schools to be Miracle Workers! Hey U.S.A. put up your CELLPHONES, FACEBOOK, and MULTI- MEDIA and pick up a book and HELP TEACH YOUR CHILDREN AS WELL. But NO, I guess this is to much trouble for you OTIS, you have other people to blame but yourselves!!! Wake up EDUCATORS are not the problem, PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE!!!!!

Otis long rambling paragraphs proves he did not listen to his English teachers in school.
