Just as everybody has the vote including women, I think children should, because as a child is conscious of itself then it has to me an existence and has a stake in what happens.

There's so much that can influence kids and young adults now, you just have to raise them the best you can and hope they make the right decisions.

We must make children and families a national priority.

Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

Young people need to vote. They need to get out there. Every vote counts. Educate yourself too. Don't just vote. Know what you're voting for, and stand by that.

Society needs both parents and nonparents, both the work party and the home party. While raising children is the most important work most people will do, not everyone is cut out for parenthood. And, as many a childless teacher has proved, raising kids is not the only important contribution a person can make to their future.

The most important thing with children is to give them your time. Actually, that's all that matters.

It takes a caring community to raise a child that will be a whole person and a contributing citizen.

Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.

Keeping our kids engaged and in school must become a national priority.
