Re: FW:

So, are we endorsing candidates on this platform?  If so, my vote is "no" for Carissa. Yes, she's a candidate backed by the charter school lobby (Democrats for Education Reform)!  I've been an "active" parent advocate since 1994, and my children attended both DCPS schools and DC charter schools. My parent advocacy includes the work I've done with the Ward 5 Council on Education and most recently with the Ward 5 Education Equity Committee, the Coalition for DC Schools (C4DC), and the Senior High Alliance of Parents, Principals and Educators (S.H.A.P.P.E.). I have never met Carissa and had not even heard of her name until she announced her candidacy for the Ward 5 seat on the State Board of Education (SBOE). 

My two cents!

I usually stay out of these circle jerks these days, but just because you haven't heard of someone doesn't mean they haven't been active. Most folks didnt know Barack Obama prior to the two candidates ahead of him in the Illinois Senate Race got in trouble and were forced to drop out. Hell, most didn't know od thr Governor of Arkansas prior to him running for President the second time. Funny they both became POTUS. Hell, most didnt know Senator Harris when she was in California nor Stacy Abrams when she was a legislator in the State of Georgia, but they are household names. 

I'm not publicly promoting anyone in that race, but funny folks active in almost all the groups you named are how I knoe the person you never knew about. Hell, Ward 5's next Councilman was the school board rep (at that time helped by DFER, check the reports) and as someone active in DCPS schools over the last decade I only knew him because he ran for office. 

Long time!  

I’m a “facts” person too, so please provide a citation about your DFER allegations.  And, thanks, but I’m good with the history lessons about President Obama!

As I previously mentioned, you can look through the reports, I've told you where to go, there are strong DFER supporters who gave checks. Further, it is great that of all that I said, you only highlighted the response to President Obama, it actually says a great deal. Even more troubling is how you are looking to throw insulting comments at campaigns in the hopes of supporting another candidate or candidates and attempt to mask it as general information. It speaks volumes about those who you are supporting and those who they are aligned with. The sad fact is that you and others don't think folks are watching. But just to make it plain, let us put it out there:

(1) Your email wasn't about general information, but a backhanded way to attack a candidate running for office in the most cowardly manner. 

(2) The Democratic Nominee for ward 5 and his team monitor this as well as other communication mediums constantly so the focus of saying you emailed him is almost as laughable as your previous backhanded insults against a candidate.

You see, everyone can find someone who doesn't know of or about someone but to attack them in the hopes of pushing someone else is shameful. You may agree or disagree and honestly that is your choice, but hey, this is sadly what our city has become and why so many are turned off by what now passes for so called leadership. Candidates who unleash their supporters to attack folks or sit by when their supporters spread lies and false narratives. Groups who attack and/or attack based on who they like while turning blidn eye to their own hypocrisy. Sadly, I can't simply say it is only Ward 5 as it is the entire city. Folks would prefer pandering and so called relationships/connections with folks at the cost of their community, neighbors, etc. But hey, it makes for good pictures for those who care for them, while horrible legislative outcomes and failed activity rule the day. 

Be Well,

EJJ

Good Morning Eric!

So, I see you still like to lobe insults at people.  Let's stay focused on the issues! Let's meet face to face and discuss the issues! We are all adults!  

Yes, Zachary Parker is on this thread! Feel free to talk with the Candidate, soon-to-be Council Member, about your comments.

Enjoy your day!

Secondly, we've met face to face before and your conversation(s) were no different. 

Third, election night I will be at home with my family, there is nothing to celebrate, our city is in crisis and folks are playing games and looking for platitudes. That isn't something to celebrate.
