Politics is their cup of tea

Decide for yourself. This is the complete original post by Mr. Rodkey on the Falcon Four email:
A letter of introduction has recently come to our attention that we would like to point out to our membership. Please read:
Hello Friends...
I have decided to run for Cornwall Lebanon School Board. I am running with 3 other fantastic candidates!
Fred Goudy, Rich Weiss, and Angela Stewart.
The time has arrived to kick off our campaign. As some of you may know, there will be tea party candidates in the race (if they are elected this can be a real detriment to our children and our schools). Your help is needed to preserve our excellent school district. Please attend an important meeting to help kick off our campaign.
Please invite your family and friends. All are welcome!
We will share our game plan and let you know what you can do to help.
When: Tuesday, March 29 @ 6:00
Where: A & M Pizza, Quentin Road, downstairs meeting room (outside entrance)
I know everyone is busy and over scheduled, we are only looking for a couple of hours of your time to help spread the word.
Please contact me with any questions...
Thank you for your support.
Beverly
None of these 4 candidate have met with the local 9-12 to discuss what our views are or where we stand on any issue and yet they are asking for the community to stand with them in a bid for an office that will require them to form opinions and make decisions that require a willingness to become informed before casting a vote. If they are unwilling to do this before seeking office, why should anyone believe they would be willing to do so once they gain their positions.
If they honestly believe that more accountability to the public from our educational system, stopping wasteful spending and reducing the size of government is detrimental to children, do you really want them making decisions for your children's education?
Cornwall 9-12 members and residents need to stand firm. While we DO NOT endorse, we will expose dishonesty and this, in plain and simple terms, is dishonest. It is also using the politics of fear preying upon the actions of one individual rather than an assessment of the group as a whole. In short, these people have made it public and clear that they are not running FOR an office, they are running AGAINST the Tea Party.
They believe that the Tea Party movement is detrimental to our children. They believe that you, as a member of the Lebanon 9-12 Project, are a detriment to the youth in our community.
If you are a member of the 9-12 Project...they are opposed to YOU

Mike Folmer's right wing idea to limited government is forcing the taxpayer to pay another billion dollars for the private education costs of his campaign donors.

I'll pass on the teabaggers spend taxpayers into debt limited government.

[just the facts]

More Pennsylvanians hard earned tax money down the drain with Republicans trying to run state government.

Republicans cannot run government.

Any republican voting for the falcon frauds needs to have their party card revoked - these frauds have the union PAC behind their campaign.

You have no proof to your claims. If you have real proof, and not just circumstantial evidence like the rest, prove it. Did you go to the courthouse and find a financial record that proves it? Or did someone just "tell" you this?

Stop trying to make others look bad. Prop up those you want to vote for and let others prop up those that they want to vote for, but don't use the negative politics to try to drag down your opponents when you think you can't beat them. We're all sick of that kind of politics!

[Proof]

Yep, have it and many do in their hands. Psea and their PAC sent a high priced mailer.

Next question please.

The question as to why the union backed these four candidates is the ONLY one that needs answered.

Never heard about the Kock bros in my grassroots activitism until the union thugs started putting it on their protest signs. Koch bros have nothing to do with the tea groups in central pa and prob statewide and many others. Their influence is very overstated. Speaking of overstated what Katy did at the town hall does not compare to liberal thugs committing violence, burning cars, smashing and shutting down businesses etc. Did you see the protest in the Tuscon school recently led by Ward Churchill about cutting funding from the class on anti america and anti capitalism and pro Che and pro marxism? They shut down the meeting cuz their taxpayer funded marxist class was being cut. Katy didn't shut down anything. Get real here. Time to move to literalville!

Get your head out of the sand.

No there is another question. Why do you baggers profess to believe in constitutional right, but only YOUR constitutional right? According to you union members have no right to be part of the policial process. Maybe I am mistaken, you believe only those who agree with you have a right to be part of the process.

You're right not everyone did get that email, but I did. Let's look at the context of that email. The statement you are referring to was: "The time has arrived to kick off our campaign. As some of you may know, there will be tea party candidates in the race (if they are elected this can be a real detriment to our children and our schools). Your help is needed to preserve our excellent school district. Please attend an important meeting to help kick off our campaign."

...

So, until the members of your group publicly condemn the actions of members that act in such ways, you cannot expect the rest of us to accept that your group is any different. Saying one thing and doing another is not a convincing argument. Sorry.

Thank you!

[Falcon smart]

I for one think the falcon four are pretty smart. They banded together to minimize individual costs. The $3200 they raised comes to $800 per person. They were able to get their names out there by sharing costs of campaigning. If they use those smarts on the school board the taxpayers will benefit.

Being in bed with the unions means taxpayers lose

Vote for the FALCON FOUR:

They want to keep Cornwall-Lebanon the great school that it is, not gut it by slashing all the programs we know and love!
And since their campaign signs have been stolen by the 9-12 Tea Party, here are their names again:
GOUDY STEWART SZAKAL WEISS
GOUDY STEWART SZAKAL WEISS
GOUDY STEWART SZAKAL WEISS
GOUDY STEWART SZAKAL WEISS

Perhaps their signs were stolen because their platform is so week and there is nothing holding them up? The Falcon Four are PSEA union plants who want to maintain the status quo for the union's agenda, which has bled the school district dry to the detriment of the public school system. We have to learn to do more with less and none of them have articulated a plan or proposal to get us there.

Minimize Costs? They were recrutied and are financially backed by PSEA....the teachers union ....because they are afraid of the tea-party folks. Wake up?

They care only for lining union pockets. A vote for the flops is a liberal vote for unions. Beware of these wolves in sheepskin clothing.
Ps, I know bev, she is not bright and wouldn't know integrity if it bit her on her well used behind

I know her also, she cares about one person....herself. She doesn't have a shred of integrity.

Is it just possible that both the tea bag fanatics like abram Russo and Mangano and the falcon farce aren't good for or area?
Fanatics and those on the take from unions must be rejected.

This could be the best advice I've seen on this board.

Yes, but she is level headed and really cares about the kids, lol. She also cares about her neighbors.

From what's been said here, some neighbors apparently more than others.

[Class]

I want to thank so many of you for continuing to show your level of class to the rest of the community. I have no doubt that the members of our community who actually have class will vote for the right candidates.

You can continue to spread your venom and negativity, and I know that you will because that is what seems to make you happy.

Cyberbullying suits you all so well.

I have to tell you that I researched the candidates further because of all of your claims and slander. In the end I ended up voting for all four members of the Falcon Four and Mathis. In my mind they were the most sane candidates in this election.

Enjoy your bitter lives. I hope that someday you learn to be happy and not tear down others.

Dear Whorz,
The Falcon Four are campaigning for the children, not the union.

The Falcon Four didn't have to campaign for the union because the union campaigned for them. And as far as class goes, this article was written to address the impact of Tea Party on election and the first response goes directly to the sexually derogatory Teabagger remark. They were then accused by a supporter of the Falcon Four of stealing election signs and everything went downhill from there. There was certainly classless comments made about the Falcon Four but their supporters were certainly not without their own crass comments.

It will be interesting to see where the Falcon Four take this now that they don't have the Tea Party to kick around and make all these blind accusations. Will it now be the existing school board members who have won their re-election bid who are the detriment to the children? Will it be the existing school board members who are stealing their signs in November? Good luck with that!

[Really]

Maybe the rest of the country will stop calling you TeaBaggers when you stop calling it Obamacare. You throw inaccurate nicknames around and others will do the same.

I doubt that the Falcon Four will be "kicking around" existing school board members. If signs get stolen in the fall it will most likely be vindictive and spiteful 9-12ers/Tea Partiers again.

I guess the voters of the district spoke last night. Enough said.

Welfare increased 400% under Rendell. Maybe you should become an elephant to cure that short term memory.

Considering we've had the worst recession since the great depression there is a reason why welfare increased under Rendell. If you were out of a job and unable to afford your rent or food for your family while you searched for nonexistent jobs you probably applied for welfare during his administration.
