Charlotte Douglas, Charlene Fite, Bill Gossage, Gene Jeffress, Stephanie Malone, Gary Latanich, Tracy Pennartz (?), and Mat Pitsch…they have what in common? 

They are government employees campaigning for the Arkansas Legislature.   5 are teachers.  The State Legislature is packed with “double-dippers”/education lobbyists.

  These state employees have serious moral, ethical, and conflicts of interest issues.  Legislative sessions last from January into May…a school semester.  Why would school districts allow teachers to be absent for up to 6 months per year? Not needed?  What salary and perks do they retain while absent? Why are they seeking a legislative office?

The above conduct vividly points out that public schools run a protection racket and utilize featherbedding with impunity while failing miserably to academically educate students..  Funding follows failure. (see Common Core Standards)

Note Mat Pitsch’s candidacy.  Pitsch heads the Regional Intermodal Transportation Authority.  RITA is part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MP0), a tentacle of United Nations Agenda 21.   Maine Governor John Baldacci stated (T.R) “A first step will be to educate the public about the importance of regionalism so cities will support these efforts”.  “We need to shock people a little bit”.

The Fort Smith Regional Alliance consists of 14 Oklahoma & Arkansas communities, resulting in a diminishment of local control and sovereignty, while ceding authority to unelected boards, advisors, czars.  Regionalism manipulates transportation patterns which restrict civil liberties, property rights, etc. Non-elected planning groups are already influencing transit services, regional trails, F.S. bikeway system.   Fort Smith formed an alliance with Agenda 21 member Fayetteville, why?

Research Agenda 21/MPO’s and vote no for any government employee.

Pitsch said “This is the kind of Regionalism we need; the kind where the greatest good can be achieved because everyone is working together”.  Straight out of Karl Marx.
