They say there’s no stopping an idea whose time has come.

I offer an idea whose time has come.

As a fundamental term of their in-servitude; Public Servants will hold themselves honestly accountable to a meaningful standard of conduct.

Whether or not this is an idea whose time has come will be manifest in the sacrifice that people are willing to make to defend the principle.

If no one wants to do anything; then the idea’s time is not come.

There’s only one way to find out.

There is a small group of people, seven board members and one superintendent, who run the seventeenth largest school district in the country.

They are refusing to hold themselves honestly accountable to a meaningful standard of conduct. Their position is indefensible; their only hope is to keep it hidden.

A few hundred people can make a difference.

All we have to do to win is to spread the word widely enough to motivate a few hundred people to stand up at a board meeting or email a reporter.

Everybody has their own agenda. I submit that my agenda moves your agenda. What legitimate agenda is not advanced by public service honestly accountability to a meaningful standard of conduct?

Honest accountability anywhere is honest accountability everywhere. It just needs to get started somewhere. There will be no better circumstance, no better time, and no better place to draw a line in the sand and defend it.

A precedent must be set. This is the place to set it. It’s time to kick the ball on to the field.

Where ever you live, you are a stakeholder. There is an opportunity to make a real difference, and all you have to do is help to spread the word.

All we need is people.

Soon.
