GM CHOICE PROTECTION FUND
Donation protected
FROM: Carrie Eastman Crow - On Facebook I exposed a parent group and the candidates they support; filed challenges to eliminate EVERY candidate (Dem or Rep) off the ballot, leaving only their chosen (2) for ANY & ALL OF US to vote for in the GM School Board race. The judge dismissed their claims, seeing them for what they were. However, had we not congregated and hired an attorney with emergency notice and defended, the parent group would have won by default, thus eliminating any other choice for all of us.
We hired an attorney. I believe he is an alum and he graciously gave us a ridiculous discount. None the less, to defend from the DIRTY DEED, WAS NOT DIRT CHEAP....and our fees were $5,000.
More importantly, this was a hostile takeover attempt of the GM School Board guaranteeing this parent group (2) seats on the board and without anyone else's VOICE in the entire community being heard - AND with a big, chaotic, "district takeover" agenda planned for GM................. I SAY:
"IF YOU WANT TO TAKE OVER GM - FINE!! THEN EARN. OUR. VOTES."
We fought and won this time - but this community needs to be vigilant and engaged. Please help with these fees; IF:
- You live in Washington or Franklin Township; we now still have choices on May 16th - (like democracy is supposed to work), please help.
- You believe that we hire PROFESSIONAL Administrators, Teachers and Librarians - and THAT is who should be making the EDUCATED choices for our children's education, not a Board with an agenda; please give.
- You are a GM or ANY Public School employee and don't want GM to turn into PENNCREST (exactly what happens with a Board with an agenda); please give.
I hope we raise even more. Every dollar over $5,000 will go to the GM Foundation!
I hope every teacher, citizen, farmer, retiree, bus driver, professor, parent, voter - gives $15 and stays tuned into this race.
Please assist us in stamping down this attack on our district and voting citizens.
Feel free to donate anonymously. GM WILL STILL FEEL THE LOVE and every dollar at the GM Foundation goes to GM students.
Thank you in advance-you know I live to serve my community and I fight for us when I need to. I've never asked for money before so forgive me. This was really...well... extraordinarily DIRTY.
