July 4th came early this year at our meeting last Tuesday night. Tammy Fitzgerald presented a well-documented and thoughtful argument as to why we should support Ukraine in the current conflict with Russia. But the audience took exception with many of her premises. However, displaying diplomatic skills acquired over a career in the Foreign Service, Tammy adroitly handled the barrage of questions. We have recorded this presentation in its entirely and have posted on our website. To view it, simply click this link.

With a critical Presidential election next year, we think Alphabet (the parent Company of Google and therefore Gmail) is at it again! We have heard disturbing instances of Gmail users discovering that routine emails from known Conservative sources are being redirected away from their normal mailboxes. So we are urging all Gmail users to actively monitor their inboxes to keep an eye out for these shenanigans. With so many reliable email ISPs available, we should all consider these letters of the alphabet: D-R-O-P-G-M-A-I-L. | |

A Call For Candidate Petitions And Surveys | |
| |
Here's a novel concept: rather than create trite political slogans, why not ask voters what's on their minds when it comes to Manatee County Schools? That is exactly the approach that Mark Stanoch - candidate for Manatee County School Board District 1 - is pursuing. The idea is to go door to door in District 1 communities and survey folks while asking for their signature on the Candidate Petition. It will be fun and a great way to meet your neighbors. To learn more and to sign up, simply click on this link and fill out a short participation form.
If you live in School Board District 1 (generally north of SR64 and east of I-75) you can sign a petition too! To download the Candidate Petition, just click on the cleverly placed button below. Please bring completed forms to our next meeting. | |
