Heads Up, Minnesota — Your Taxpayer Dollars Being Grossly Misused… Public School Emails Sent by Public School Teacher to Counter-Protest & Bash Tea Party Tax Day Rally
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on April 12, 2010
Reminder: Attend a tea party rally in your area this Thursday, April 15, Tax Day — and bring a friend who is also concerned about the direction of America. Also, as indicated in this news report, many liberal extremists are planning to “crash the tea parties” across the country. Gateway Pundit has more info on that… Beware of the Tea Party Crashers at the Tax Day Rallies.
Heads up — Minnesota citizens who attend townhall protests or tea party rallies, as well as all Minnesotans who are angry at Congress for not listening to the majority of Americans on throwing out the oppressive, expensive, government-power grab of ObamaCare and continue to waste our taxpayer money… well, more misuse is happening right now in the backyards of Minnesota in the Rochester area.
Attacks are being coordinated, using school district resources, against tea partiers by a Minnesota public school teacher… who, last time I looked, gets paid to TEACH our children, not be a political activist during those precious school hours. And that paycheck he receives is 100 percent comprised of taxpayer money — many of whom are the taxpaying parents of the children he is suppose to be teaching — which would not be there if not for the very people who pay taxes and whom he wants to malign and attack at the next tea party in Rochester… the Tax Day Tea Party on April 15.
Typical liberal wanting to interfere with (or altogether silence) freedom of speech because he doesn’t agree with it — no wonder our students aren’t reaching their highest potential when a teacher, entrusted to teach, instead arrogantly uses taxpayer resources to push for Obama’s freedom-robbing, socialist agenda and to essentially attack anyone (including a number of the parents of his students) who doesn’t agree with the Democrat Party. How many other Obama-supporting teachers do this on school time? This is an outrage… Minnesota patriots, it would be prudent to call the Rochester school district to lodge a complaint. Otherwise, this type of taxpayer abuse and partisanship on school time could escalate. Silence is compliance.
I noticed that the teacher’s name wasn’t included in this news report. Interesting.
Would it have been reported if it had been a conservative teacher who was being investigated for misusing school district resources, time, and money?
You betcha.
From Minnesota’s Post-Bulletin, School district investigates e-mail encouraging protest at Tea Party rally:
An e-mail sent out by a Rochester public school teacher calling on others to protest the Rochester Tea Party Patriots’ rally on Thursday is drawing sharp criticism from Tea Party members.
The e-mail was sent out to all teachers in the school district and states that “if you are interested in combating the lies and ignorance of the Tea Party movement” to meet for a counter-rally at 5:30 p.m. at Soldiers Field. The teacher who sent out the e-mail says he will have an air horn and some signs. Rochester Tea Party Patriot Chairwoman Cindy Maves contacted School Board Chairman Jim Pittenger to protest the teacher’s use of district e-mail for the political message.
“I am not surprised that there would be a counter-protest. I am just surprised they used the district e-mail,” Maves said.
In an e-mail sent to Maves, Pittenger said that the e-mail might be a violation of district policy, and Superintendent Romain Dallemand plans to investigate the matter. Rochester Public Schools’ spokeswoman Rachel Hicks could not be reached this morning for comment on the matter.
The Rochester Tea Party Patriots are planning their second annual tax day rally scheduled to run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Soldiers Field in Rochester. Last year’s rally, as a part of rallies held nationwide, led to the birth of the local tea party movement. This year, a key focus of the rally will be to get conservative candidates elected to office who will support reduced government spending and less government control.
“We want (elected officials) to stop spending money we don’t have,” Maves said. “The debt is just escalating unbelievably, and we are just scared to death for our country.”
As a result, Maves said several candidates are expected to be at the rally representing the Constitution Party, Independence Party and the Republican Party. Several speakers are expected to address the crowd at 6 p.m. They include KROC conservative radio host Tom Ostrom, Republican Secretary of State candidate Dan Severson and former Republican 1st District Rep. Gil Gutknecht.
Gutknetcht’s speech is aimed at firing up the crowd to get conservative candidates elected. He said that while he has not been involved in the Tea Party movement, he said he has been impressed by how passionate members are about politics.
“I will say that in terms of intensity, this is as strong as I have seen in my adult lifetime,” Gutknecht said.
He added that he believes that Democrats failed to realize that the process used to push the health care reform bill has really angered voters.
“If you go back and just look at the headlines at how this thing was handled, the Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, I don’t think the congressional leaders really understood how bad that looked in Middle America,” he said.
