"Proceeds from this benefit CD support Project Kid Smart and its work to mobilize voices and votes for kids. Put children first by telling candidates and elected officials to support government-funded preschool education for all children. Urge them to pass legislation like the Smart from the Start Preschool Education Fund for America that would designate $5 billion over five years to help states begin the process of providing high-quality, voluntary preschool for all four-year-old children whose parents want them to participate. Make sure your voice and your vote support the best future for all our children." - From the CD Jacket.Visit www.projectkidsmart.org for more information about this wonderful cause to support preschool education across the country.
