PTA members every where rekindle hope

(Kernersville, NC) The newly elected president of the North Carolina PTA, has new hope for a future of service. Kyle Robertson now sees that any one can rise from the PTA and become an elected government official. “I was beginning to think that I had risen as far as I was going to go, but now that Sarah Palin is John McCain’s running partner, I’d say the sky is the limit,” shared Robertson.
“Having been in the PTA now for 16 years, I can really say that the challenges and demands of deciding on school lunch menus and serving as an arbitrator between irate parents and defensive teachers really prepares you for political office,” claims Robertson. Across the country, many other PTA members share her opinion. Many claim that they were growing frustrated in the low level of influence on local policy issues, saying that now that Palin has broken the glass blackboard, they see themselves going on to serve their communities more.And who knows, maybe one day serving not only their local communities but the nation as well.
“However,” states Robertson, “I’m no beauty queen, so maybe that helps, but I think I have a lot of good ideas to contribute. I’m hoping that I can help solve some of the issues Lizard Lick is facing.” With a population of 1,300 Lizard Lick, North Carolina has now joined the millions of towns all over the United States which can now boast having a traffic light in their town. The town apparently got its name from a passing observer who saw many lizards sunning and licking themselves on a rail fence. Robertson adds, “Lizard lick is no Wasilla, AL, but this is America. So I’m hopeful.”
