Other facts

As a parent of a Torrey Pines High School student and a 20+ year resident of the district, my pledge to taxpayers, parents and students in the San Dieguito Union High School District is to restore fiscal responsibility to a school board that is running up deficits, raising taxes, and generally acting irresponsibly in the middle of a crippling recession. For the Children ‚Äì Advocate for students (and their parents), not beholden to any special interest group Scholastic Basics ‚Äì Teach the fundamentals of world history, American history, California history, etc. without revisionist, politically-correct, selective influences No New Taxes ‚Äì the board and district can operate under the parameters of the current revenue stream and not in the red. No Tax Increase ($449 M Bond) - the San Dieguito Union High School District‚ planned $449 Million Bond offering on the November 2012 ballot is exactly what I stand against: increased taxes, wasteful use of tax-payer dollars and a disconnect with/disrespect for the very people the Board is sworn to represent and act in the best interest of whiles strapping the next two generations with confiscatory taxation. Balanced Budget ‚Äì The current board has shown it cannot even balance its own checkbook. In fiscal 2011-2012, the board ran a DEFICIT of $3.5 million. For fiscal '12-'13, it‚Äôs projected that the district will be $6 million in THE RED. Imagine what this fiscally dysfunctional board will do with $449 Million! No Cell Towers on Classrooms ‚Äì Exposing our school children to RF electromagnetic fields (cell towers built on top of Canyon Crest Academy) is a felony bad idea that I will not support, but was nearly implemented by the current board Representative of You: Parents & Students ‚Äì Come to me with your problems and I will be your ‚Äúvoice‚Äù on the board

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. ButRead More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!

Your right Jac, women do not have Equal Rights, they are treated as 2nd Class citizens here in theRead More USA. The ERA will not pass congress, you can blame it on the Republicans , but there a lot of Demo's also think we do not need to pass it...!!!
