| December 6, 2006--Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) was honored as the "Role
Model of the Year" by Jobs for Americas Graduates (JAG), a program to help
at-risk youth graduate from high school and find quality jobs. Huckabee
praised then-Gov. and now Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) for roping him and
other governors into the program. "There are a lot of kids coming
up in this country who would have dropped out of high school, who would
have ended up in countless dead end jobs that would have led them probably
to a lifetime of government dependence, who instead have been empowered
not to get on the government dole as adults, but more importantly to prosper,
to succeed, to live the American dream like all of us hope to do."
