Giving our children the tools they need to build a successful future means first protecting them in the here and now. That's why Congresswoman Fallin has been an active supporter of legislation that protects our children in school, in the neighborhood and at home on their computers. Fallin is an advocate for legislation that would allow school officials to crackdown on weapons and drugs. She supports policies that require schools and libraries to protect our children from online sexual predators. Finally, she has joined other lawmakers in calling on the Attorney General to outline a strategy to deal with gang violence.
Mary believes in keeping our children safe and healthy. For children living in families making less than 200% of the poverty level, Mary supports an expansion of programs like Sooner Care that provide free healthcare. In the wealthiest nation on earth, our children should all have access to healthcare.
Finally, Mary believes in the importance of education, the most important commodity we can bestow on our children. That's why she supports permanently extending the Family Savings Accounts that allow families to save for their children's college tuition. In the emerging global economy, it is more important than ever for children to receive a top-notch education.
