RACISM: A really low election blow

| May 14, 2011 10:00 PM

When a man has to state in the Cd'A Press that he is not part of the Aryan Nation we have sunk to a new low in this town. To make such inferences as done by Mike Kennedy and liberal blogs is beyond the pale. Indicating that a person is a racist is the worst thing you can do to a person's reputation, career and family. This should have not been part of a Cd'A School Board election and will scare away any potential candidate daring to buck the establishment.

Pulling the race card is a well know tactic used when a person does not think their candidate can win on the issues. The issues these political insiders do not want to discuss are: wasted tax money, failed curriculum, outrageous administrative costs, lack of transparency, disrespect for the citizens, and misuse of school property for campaigning. The main issues have come down to trust and accountability.

Tom Hamilton and Terri Seymour deserve your vote. They have walked through the fires and are still standing. They intend to stand up for good and decent schools. Please vote on May 17.
