\n\n<\/a>\nCUEE has staked their efforts on catch phrases & false promises that look\n& sound good. All of their info is at best a half truth. The promises\nthat are imposible to keep are lies. I was raised believing a promise\nbroken is a truth untold, which is a lie.\n

\nUnfortunately this tactic\nwill work for today’s lazy voters who won’t even take the time to go\nto a website where the true facts are posted much less do their own\nresearch. Surely don’t ask them to leave the comfort of their homes &\nentertainment & personal addictions to attend any public meetings on\neither side when they should be visiting both sides at least once. They\nare part of the convenient idiot masses that facilitate take overs by\nthe clever greedy for money & power few.\n

\nBoth school boards [VBOE<\/a>, LCBOE<\/a>]\nand their\nsupporters have done a great job of researching to produce true evidence\nthat dissolves all the CUEE false rhetoric & print.\n

\nWe cannot assume\nthat truth will prevail because it is much easier to believe the fast\nsell that requires no personal effort. CUEE is banking on this. Most of\nthe \nschool consolidations that have occurred<\/a>\nhad many that were shocked\nwhen they passed because they did not account for the money\/power ruses\nof the facilitators working so well with the lazy voter public. Many will\nnot even show up claiming they have no stake since they have no children\nin either system. They are too lazy to check the researched facts to\nsee they will be paying higher taxes for a handicapped unified system.\n
