I will be voting columns KLM for Kids First come November 6th and I urge that any one else that supports the progress in our district schools to do the same and get others to as well. A failue to re-elect this board will send a very qualified Dr. Mark Toback likely packing as the new board would very likely appoint someone else with patronage and not education as a top priority. Hoboken's children can not afford to have our District Superintendent change every other year and Hoboken's tax payers can not afford to have the return of patronage and plunder that occurred under the Frank Pupie Raia years when he had control of the BOE. It took several years to clean up after that mess. Support Dr. Toback and let Kids First lead the way to truly move Hoboken District Schools forward. Don't be fooled by imitators and shills for the Old Guard. That path leads to the dark side.
Please consider voting columns KLM Kids First for School Board November 6th.
Dear Friends,
Election Day is November 6 -- only a few weeks away. The race for the Board of Education is going to be close and every single vote counts!
Voters face a simple choice between Kids First, with a proven record of educational and financial reform, and our opponents, who will take the district back in time to its pre-reform state.
It’s vitally important that reform-minded voters not only vote for Board of Education, but help get out the vote.
You can help in lots of different ways: donate to the campaign, register to vote, “like” us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, put a campaign sign in your window, canvass with a candidate, hold a candidate “Meet and Greet,” and tell your friends why it’s important to vote Kids First.
But most important is helping us inform voters on election day itself. We’ve had great success in the past with volunteers on election day and we must repeat that success this year. Please consider volunteering an hour or two to help keep the reform majority this November 6. Simply reply to this email to let us know that you want to help continue the progress.
Donate: We are a grassroots campaign and every donation -- no matter the size -- does make a difference. You can donate online via Facebook or at this web page. (To donate by check, simply reply to this email to let us know. We’ll provide the details.)
Register to Vote: And don’t forget to update your voter registration if you have recently changed your address. The deadline is only one week away: October 16.
Register to Vote By Mail: If you can’t vote in person on November 6, you can apply to vote by mail. To receive your ballot by mail, your application must be received by the County Clerk seven (7) days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m. the day before the election.
