WHAT A FEELIN'!!!

     Having just seen Flashdance at the Kravis Center, the title of one of its songs comes to mind. What a feeling it is to see that some things are beginning to go the way of the Village. Notice I do not say "us", but CV, as that is the goal of the entire opposition to the current UCO administration. So it is good, a real good feeling, when we see progress.
     What progress you might ask? Good.
     1. New budget hearings and formatting and still working on that.
     2. The sense that there is a huge new rock teetering over the budget that will destroy the Poohbah, O'Brien and all else maintaining their false budget.
     3. The growing chorus of voices speaking out, speaking up, demanding answers to hard questions. We will not be satisfied with the statement, "Come to my office." Shall we schedule thousands who want answers? Hmmm, might be an idea.

     4. If you are oh, so privileged and granted the royal right to receive the IFI; then you will have seen this:
1. REVIEW PREVIOUS YEARS. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
A. 2 ALTERNATES FOR CHECK IN TABLES
B. GIVE OUT NUMBERS FOR COUNTING TABLES
C. DELEGATES SHOULD BE GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE BEFORE ALTERNATES.
D. NO ONE VOTE BEFORE 8 AM
 This, my friends, is a great start. A start, mind you, but one we have been shouting about since the elections last year. We were told to shut up last year, cursed out, called names but lookee here! Delegates before alternates and I would love to hear details on that! NO ONE votes before 8 AM and I guess that means the Schechters too!
     But we need more. More counters from both sides of the issues.
     More people to insure that the voting process in the ballot room IS OBSERVED, as who knows what goes on with the zombie candidates that he digs up and drags in.
     More people must be included in the process as Ed Black carrying the ballots up alone to be counted makes my heart shudder and cannot be allowed to continue. Than man should be banned from the process anyway.
     More people to insure that the counters tally the votes, not get told by Ed Black that "we" will tally them. Really! Smells to high heavens.

     So we have made a start, but have quite a ways to go and one of the ways would be to get rid of Gorodetzer from this committee as she has shown her true colors too many times.
     But what a feeling to know that we have made inroads.
     5. Marc Friedman is no longer serving as the attorney for UCO so that whole mock process of new by laws has been stopped in its tracks. Gorodetzer, Black and Israel will not be able to shove through their nefarious plans for these changes so quickly.
     6. Cracks have been appearing at UCO. People have been thrown under the bus and Barbara Cornish is teetering on the curb. She has been told her bid committee is irrelevant, interesting that, and she needs to watch her back. Why she hangs on there is beyond me.
     7. People have heard the issues relating to censorship of meetings and dispensing of informational data. They do not like it and who knows when this bubble will burst. Eva, you need to hear this. VP of WPRF does not give you the right to censor and play Momma to us, deciding what is "good" for us and what we "want" according to you. My parents are dead and they were the only ones who had a right to decide what was right for me as their child and I did not always listen to them either so certainly you and David Israel are not even in the running!
     What we want is non partisanship.
     What we want are answers.
     What we want is transparency.
     What we want is a true budget with the true facts and future problems just waiting to be sprung on us.
     What we want is an austerity budget till we are back on solid footing.
     What we want is what we want!!! Not what others determine is best for us poor doddering senior citizens.
     WHAT WE WANT IS FOR ALL YOU DELEGATES TO COME OUT TO THE DA. VOTE WITH THOUGHT AND CARE. RUN FOR OFFICE. AND VOTE THE RIGHT WAY COMES MARCH ELECTIONS.

     NO FOURTH TERM.  NO FOURTH TERM.
