The Real Power of Parents and the TEA Parties

I wanted to attend the presentation “Power of Parents” tonight at Murphy Middle School. Unfortunately the “Power of Parents” presentation is scheduled on Tax Day and the day where TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Parties are scheduled all across the country with several in the DFW area. I will be attending the TEA Party in Plano this evening and encourage all of my supporters to attend with me.

As a parent with children currently in Plano schools, I truly believe in the power of the parents. But I can sum up the power of parents in one word: VOTE!

If you want to change school financing then VOTE!

If you want to change 4x4 then VOTE!

If you don’t want your property taxes raised then VOTE!

Voting is the true power of parents. If parents stand together and vote together then they are unstoppable. When school board members, state representatives, or Congress members stop acting in your best interest and no longer represent your values and principles you have to vote for someone who does if you really want things to change. In Plano we elect school board members with less that 7,000 votes out of 169,000 registered voters.

And we wonder why they raise our property taxes just weeks after voters approved the last bond.

This brings me to the reason that I will be at a TEA Party tonight. While we focus on national politics, local school districts take 65 % of our property taxes and they continue to ask for more. If we are ever going to clean up the waste in Washington and in Austin, we have to clean out own house first.

Plano ISD school board members and executive administrators actively lobby Austin for the power to raise taxes without voter approval. That is un-American! And what is worse is that they use tax payer money to make those trips to Austin to lobby to raise our taxes.

I know everyone in Plano feels like we are Taxed Enough Already. We don't want our property taxes raised!

I promise these 2 things if elected:

1. I will always vote against raising your taxes.

2. I will not use tax payer money to take trips to Austin to lobby against taxpayers.
