Keyes links government shutdown to family decline in Iowa speech
Republican candidate Alan Keyes told about 1,200 Eastern Iowans at LaSalle High School that a shutdown of government would not hurt the nation as much as the collapse of the two parent family. He warned media focus on Washington ignores family poverty, violence, and rising births out of wedlock, urging a moral crisis view. He spoke after Florida straw poll results where Dole led and Gramm and Alexander trailed.

Open enrollment allows attendance outside the district, but districts are not obligated to pay private school tuition. Amanda will transfer on November 22 despite the decision.
