Don’t forget to vote tomorrow.
Let DARTH Term Law eVADER know that we demand honest data about the performance of our kids and our schools, school construction over prison construction, a reversal of the increases in class sizes, and an end to the assault of privateers and crony capitalism on public education.
The way to voice those demands — and to do your part to help fulfill them — vote BILL THOMPSON FOR MAYOR.
Teach your kids that democracy is not for sale, and that you won’t stand for a third term of a Mayor who thinks it is… while selling our kids short.
Be a one-person “Truth Squad” — make the voting booth YOUR “Office of Accountability”.
