001and you need to get some people on these local local school committees and listen we had a State Rep who was for 20 years um you know a a democratic State Rep in our uh district and she started um on the school committee that's where she started and she was able to Parlay that into a very effective um left leaning uh run uh as a state representative so listen every day I would cringe at what was going on in our school districts from the smallest to the biggest of things and it's very hard as a parent because you don't want the teachers or the school to take it out on your kids when you're voicing your concern or opinion for how things go my my you know take on that is get somebody in a
002seat that can advocate for you and your family and a minimum get one person on your school board so that they can kind of be the Watchdog for everybody else you know I've always been the champion of uh you can you can have a liberal agenda and you can have a different opinion but government only works when there's checks and balances and if apathy has taken over your school system or your local city council or or select board because you just don't want to get involved then you know that person who looks back at you in the mirror tomorrow morning that's the person to blame because if you're not going to step up and you know serve on your a local board or a local committee then you really can't complain about it because like
003I keep always say you know you need the checks and balances and that's how effective government works
