A Special Message from Mona

Dear Citizens For 13 J Excellence,

What a great start to the signature gathering for the Recall Campaign. This just shows, I believe that our 13 J Citizens are dissatisfied and DO WANT TO be involved and have a voice.

After the Board Meeting on Monday, I have heard from some that it is time to step up the campaign a notch. We truly believe that we can complete the signature gathering very soon. So, we are announcing an event this weekend that we would like all to come to!! For those that are in town please come, stop by, spread the word, bring friends and family, stop by and encourage...whatever works into your day.

We will be set up at the Independence Riverview Park by 11 a.m. this Saturday. Please if at all possible be there at 11 a.m. to help rally and energize. We will then go forth and gather signatures. Some will stay and encourage, some will go door-to-door, some will go to their own neighborhoods and friends gathering signatures of those they know, whatever people feel comfortable completing. It is our intent to gather signatures in teams until 2 p.m.

If each of us would volunteer and just gather 10 signatures a piece we believe we would be complete, or very, very close to completion of the signature gathering phase. I do not believe that this is unrealistic to be done this week or next. If we were to accomplish this, then we could get a special election to occur even before the May Election.

This, to me is vital. I believe that we have reached a “Crisis” level in this district. I get the honor of walking into our schools at least once a week. I also know that if we do not change what is currently being allowed to happen to our teachers, staff, administrators and fellow community members in this district that we will be damaged beyond repair. I am truly not an “alarmist” type of person. What I am, is a person of action. I know that each of you are also.

What I have seen thus far in the signature gathering, at meetings, at the petition tables is soooo exciting.

So, let’s come together, keep up the momentum and get this complete!

If you are unable to be there on Saturday, I am asking that you either stop by one of the tables this evening, (Monmouth, or Independence Plaza, 4-7p) or ask me to deliver a copy of the petition to you, and commit to completing one 10 signature petition this week.

PLEASE BRING ANY COMPLETE PETITIONS TO SATURDAY, OR THE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING ON TUESDAY, MARCH 15TH, 5:30-7 p.m., Independence Library. It is very important to turn all signatures in by that time, even if only one signature is on a page.
