Moms in inner cities, like Washington, should have that choice, too. Now, they have no choice but to send their children to a dangerous, failing schools. That's not fair. We want to give low-income families the ability to give their kids a chance for a brighter future. Moms also deserve some peace of mind when it comes to protecting their children from those who exploit technology to hurt children.

In the next few weeks the House will vote to stiffen penalties for crimes against children. We'll target those criminals who stalk children on the Internet, and we will strengthen efforts to find missing children. And in the next few weeks, this Congress will also take up a balanced budget that provides tax relief to America's families.

Not too many families in America think a tax hike is reason for celebration.
