Education Badge of Courage-phones and rallies

Phones and Street Corner Rallies

I have spent almost six hours over the last two days phone banking. I had 301 contacts! Great fun. There are really nice people in this district. Almost no one wants the ANTI’s back in charge of our district.

Our personal calls to individual voters in our district are making a difference. They are worth one hundred of the annoying Guffanti robo calls. Who wants to hear a Guffanti robot lying about VUSD on the phone? Most people hang up the moment the robot starts talking.

When the teachers and employees of the district call in person our good VUSD voters listen. You would be surprised at how many of our VUSD conservative voters and regular church members are tired of Guffanti using them and their churches to get elected. They are ready to make the switch to PRO-public education candidates. All they need is a phone call.

Keep coming to the phone bank whether it is your night or not call the VTA (758-2690) find out the location of that night’s bank and go. It is great meeting other dedicated teachers in our district at one of the phone banks. Only four more nights next week and the fun is over. Don’t miss the chance to be part of the movement to save our classrooms from extremists and their fringe agendas. We do not get enough chances to see other colleagues and phone banks are a great place to see other dedicated, pro-public education, VUSD employees. There are extra phone at the VTA office and phoning can be done at there any night of the week.

Kudos to the sign committee and to the street corner demonstrations! Nearly every person I talked to while phone banking had seen our signs for the PRO-Public education candidates. Nearly all of them knew who the teachers of this district were recommending. Also many had seen the Street Corner Rallies. You folks that have been putting up signs, making phone calls, and going to the rallies are true heroes. You all deserve the Education Badge of Courage!

Two more rallies tomorrow. Check your email to find the locations or call the VTA 760-758-2690. I hope to see you folks tomorrow. Most people who see us out their honk there car horns and wave. We get huge numbers of thumbs up gestures and big smiles. This community is ready to rid itself of Guffanti.

Our biggest rally will be the day before the election on November 3 at Vista Village. There is no more important place for you to be after school on the 3rd. Work your 7and 1/2 hour day on Tuesday. Do not give Bales the extra three hours of unpaid time she demands of you on that day. Give that time to your students and the future of VUSD by showing up for the rally.

This Saturday is another Walk and Drop. Meet at the VTA office at 9:00 AM. Get great exercise and some sun. I know Joyce Bales wants you inside working on some survey monkey every free hour of your weekend. But take a break from Bales Busy Work and come on down to the VTA office 1717 East Vista Way, Saturday at 9 AM. Another great chance to meet the good people of our district. The "Resistance" is larger than you know. You will be surprised by the people who have joined. Come see for yourself on Saturday.
