Reasons to Vote YES on Question 1
November 7, 2017
Winslow School Bond
This series of essays in support of the November 7 school bond referendum in Winslow has been previously posted on Facebook and is ongoing until the election. I have discovered that even with hashtags and other tricks, accessing the older essays is difficult to impossible. Also, I am concerned that a large contingent of the voters do not use Facebook and perhaps not even the internet. Thus, all these points in favor of the referendum are not available to them. Perhaps you have agreed with certain aspects of my advocacy and would like to share them with parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles who are not tech geeks like me. Below I have provided copies of my posts in PDF format for easy printing and sharing.
Remember to turn out and Vote YES on Tuesday, November 7. THIS WILL BE A CLOSE ELECTION. Other school supporters are not going to carry the day for you and I. We must all TAKE TIME TO VOTE.
Optimistically,
