is there a list of national scool board presidents, by state for 2009

The Gordon Proposal: Suppose the Federal government issued a purchase order to the big three auto companies for say 500,000, cars, 50,000 school busses and 50,000 postal trucks to be delivered in 2 years. The price would be, say, 12 billion dollars. The cars and busses would be specified as electric plug-in's and multi-fuel hybrids, light, efficient, and would in fact define the next generation. This would not be a give-away, but a purchase. There is an enormous difference. The cars, once delivered would be used by the Federal government to replace its existing fleet, and donated or sold at cost to states and municipalities. They in turn would raise the money for their purchases by auctioning their low mileage but now obsolete fleet to the public who would benefit from the low costs of these vehicles. In the meantime the auto companies, with the new designs and tooling in place would have a jump start on offering the public advanced eco-designs.
