Addie Haas' Letter to the Editor 02/04/10: An Open Letter to the People Behind Unite Our District

STOP! Stop defacing our lovely landscape with your negative billboards.

STOP! Stop littering our mailboxes with your flyers.

STOP! Stop wasting your money on propaganda.

STOP! Stop demeaning the intelligent people of New Paltz and Gardiner with your sound-bite promotions. We are smart enough to see beyond unsupported words.

STOP!
Stop dividing our school district. Come together to support our fairly elected, hard-working school board.

STOP! Stop abusing the children of our community. Our children deserve a school that is comfortably heated, has running hot and cold water, a roof that does not leak, is ADA compliant and meets up-to-date standards of energy efficiency, health and safety.

STOP! Stop being so short-sighted. If we wait to correct the difficulties in our middle school, the situation will only get worse and the renovation more costly.

START! Start to think through the issues and JOIN your fellow citizens in voting YES for the middle school proposal on Feb. 9. This would be a productive way to Unite Our District.

Addie Haas
New Paltz
