Yesterday around the country we found out which politicians won or lost, and which issues and levies passed, or didn’t pass. A thought about local school levies: Say one didn’t pass in a particular region. What would keep people who voted for the school levy from setting up a “Voluntary School Levy Fund” and annually paying into it what they would have been assessed anyway? Sure this maybe wouldn’t cover all of what was proposed, but it would cover some. What’s more, why couldn’t some of these voluntary payers (if they were able) pay even more than what they would have been assessed to make up for the shortfall? I mean, wouldn’t this just be: common sense? Note:<\/strong> Yesterday a former English professor from Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, asked if she could take a picture of me next to our van — so she could e-mail it to her friends. I said sure, and even went one better. I gave her an official “Schriner for President 2008 \/ www.voteforjoe.com” refrigerator magnet (with the caveat not to try and sell it on E-bay, yet)… Incidentally, let nothing keep any of you supporters out there from having some of your own “Schriner for President 2008 \/ www.voteforjoe.com” refrigerator magnets (any shape) made as well. I mean, how many times do people go to the refrigerator in the course of the day? Again, we’re doing this all without paid political consultants, or even a lot of money for that matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
