Hello WETA,
As we begin to close out this school year with all of the changes that have taken place, it is my duty to make you aware of what will be facing us as we move toward the next school year and the 2012 election on November 6th.
I have attached two pieces of information that I urge you to take time to read. They concern a special interest group known as ALEC. This is the group that has been responsible for the current glut of legislation that permeated every state with a Republican Governor and Legislature, including Ohio. This legislation in every case is designed to take away your collective bargaining rights as teachers. Further, this group is determined to destroy Public Education. Remember Senate Bill 5 and the fight in Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois, as well as New Jersey, Alabama — the list goes on and on and on… Don’t forget the Jackson-Kasich plan already discussed in an earlier communication to you. Kasich loves it!!!!
Please take time to look at the background information and also the list of Ohio Legislators including your Governor Kasich who are card carrying members of this despicable group!!! Ohio House Representative from the current Ohio 63rd, soon to be the new 61st District in Eastern Lake County, Ron Young is also an active member of this group.
MAKE NO MISTAKE
THEY ARE OUT TO DESTROY US AND OUR PROFESSION
If they gain one more member in the Ohio House of Representative in November they will have a super majority and will be able to pass any legislation without challenge.
Currently 59-40
The Ohio Senate is already 23-10
!!!!Remember Senate Bill 5!!!!
The road to November has been paved and we need to start looking at Education Friendly Candidates regardless of party affiliation. All members of the Ohio House of Representatives and one half of the Senate, all even numbered districts including ours, are up for election this year. Unfortunately, it seems that we will always be fighting for our lives in the once honored profession!!!!
