EDUCATION IS 80% of the TYPICAL TOWN BUDGET, TEACHERS SALARIES ARE 80% OF THAT
Remember the original BOSTON TEA PARTY was the result of taxes levied on the Colonies by the Crown for tea shipped from Great Britain. The Colonists revolted because they were being taxed without representation. Today we are in the same situation, being taxed without representation because of the Union cabal has infiltrated our government at all levels. This has placed a heavy burden on the taxpayer who now is in a position to revolt. The 2nd Boston Tea Party is gathering momentum. It is up to you, the taxpayer to take action to protect you rights as spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. One of those RIGHTS was to REVOLUTION.
Teachers salaries comprise 80% of the 80% of most towns budgets, but the teachers union claims it is not their fault for most municipal deficits. You the hard working taxpayer should not have to put up with this any longer. The revolution is coming, the education system must be dismantled, your taxpayer rights must be restored. The audacity of the Connecticut Education Association to not accept blame for the current deficit. This is what the taxpayer gets from union representatives, a bunch of bull s... thrown into their face. The union does not want to accept reality, they can be defined as blood suckers. When everyone else is taking an economic hit, the teachers want you, the taxpayer, to pay them more and more. Vouchers, choice and charter schools are the answer. Average cost to educate a student is $17,000 in the public system when private, parochial and charter schools can do the job for $10,000. It is now time to throw the socialists into the harbor just as the tea was thrown into Boston Harbor 236 years ago. The system must be changed.
TAXPAYERS, YOU HAVE A CHOICE, VOTE NO ON ALL EDUCATION BUDGETS, EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS, RISE UP, CALL FOR LAYOFFS, CALL FOR DOUBLING CLASS SIZES. MAKE THE TEACHERS FEEL THE PAIN, JUST AS YOU HAVE. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL UNIONS ARE THE PRIME FAULT FOR OUR BUREAUCRACY TODAY. LET THEM GO ON STRIKE. WE DON'T NEED THEM NOR THEIR OUTRAGEOUS SALARIES AND WATERED DOWN SERVICES ANYMORE. BE ACTIVE! Demand that the "arbitration" rules be changed. It is only the right of the taxpayer, the one who pays the bill, to arbitrate a contract, the union and their representatives have no right at the table. Call your state legislatures now. try to change the system before you head into bankruptcy court. Connecticut alone has a 75 BILLION PENSION DEFICIT. Do you understand people, we owe $75 billion for unfunded pensions. Nationally it is 2 trillion. Your kids will not like paying these bills. We can guarantee you that.

Teachers unions rejected contract concessions in nearly all of state's districts
The small Colebrook Teachers Association stands out among the state's teachers' unions. Its members agreed to take a pay cut this year.
Only a handful of teachers' unions in Connecticut have agreed to contract concessions to help towns and cities manage local budgets amid the worst recession in years.
In Colebrook, the one-school town's 13 teachers agreed to reduce their contracted wage increases from 2.9 percent to 1.4 percent to spare programs and avoid layoffs. With the reduced increases, this year's payroll is slightly more than $746,900.
According to the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, school spending topped $9 billion for the fiscal year that ended on June 30. Much of that money went to pay the more than 50,000 teachers working in the state's 166 public school districts.
Towns and cities looked to the second-highest-paid teachers in the nation to make concessions because grand lists are appreciating little and the legislature and Gov. M. Jodi Rell aren't increasing state education grants.
Teachers' unions have shown little inclination to make contract concessions, said Kelly Balser, a staff attorney for the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, who follows labor relations for the organization.
Teachers aren't responsible for the current budget troubles, and they shouldn't be expected to plug holes in town and city budgets, said John Yrchik, executive director of the Connecticut Education Association.
He said teachers are being used as scapegoats by local politicians.
In todays WSJ page A12, OPINION, IT highlights the fact that the majority of members of the Washington D.C. Council want the continuation of the Districts Opportunity Scholarship Program which gives minority students scholarships to attend private schools. However, the union Lackey, Senator Dick Durban of Illinois, has put a halt to the scholarship program by inserting language in a spending bill prohibiting funding beyond 2010 unless congress authorize it. The question is, " will the Democratic Party stand up to the Union Lackeys or will they STAND UP FOR OUR KIDS? What do you think?
