Jerry Lewis Not Endorsed By Own Organization.

Jerry Lewis who is running against Senate President Russell Pearce has been snuffed by the very organization that Sequoia belongs to. I believe that their rejection of Jerry Lewis goes along way in saying who represents education better in the state of Arizona.

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Today, Arizona Parents for Education, a grassroots group promoting the interests of Arizona's public school distance learning programs, today announced that Senate President Russell Pearce was named the 2011 Golden Apple Award Winner. Previous winners include Governor Jan Brewer, former Senate President Tim Bee, former state Representative David Lujan, and Senator Linda Lopez.

"Arizona is fortunate to have Senate President Pearce fighting for our children," Arizona Parents for Education President Ann Robinett said. "Russell has been a tireless advocate for education in our great state. His steadfast support for distance learning and educational choice has improved education for our children at every level, and we can't thank him enough for his efforts," concluded Robinett.

There are more than 20,000 Arizona students who participate in Arizona Online Instruction programs statewide. For more information visit us on the web at www.azparents.org.
