(GERRY BROOME/The Associated Press) In this Sept. 14, 2011, file photo, President Barack Obama holds up the American Jobs Act as he speaks at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C. In Obama’s sales pitch for his jobs bill, there are two versions of reality: The one in his speeches and the one actually unfolding in Washington. When Obama accuses Republicans of standing in the way of his nearly $450 billion plan, he ignores the fact that his own party has struggled to unite behind the proposal.

LEWISTON, Idaho -- A group of parents and children in Lewiston joined a nationwide effort Wednesday to protest proposed cuts to early childhood education.

"I cannot have this program cut," said Rebecca Cordoba, a 26-year-old mother of two. "It's done so much for me and my family. I'll do whatever it takes."

Standing near the office of U.S. Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, on Main Street, they waved signs and chanted about the importance of Head Start. Labrador was in the Boise area, but the group drew the attention of motorists and downtown pedestrians.
