Thank You Notes with Contributions
(a word of explanation - these are
unsolicited thank you notes that have been returned with some of the donations
we've received from our supporters. Many have donated several times. As near as
we can tell 2,000 different people have contributed. The Duluth School District
has about 50,000 people who are eligible to vote. That means that 1 in 25 voters
have donated to stop the Red Plan! That's DONATED
mind you.) Many will also contribute to anyone who challenges the current school
board incumbents.

And what would that school be?
The one we don't have any buyers for, according to Dr. Dixon, and that
we will be selling for a third of its value to the District?

As to our progress: They keep coming in. We can handle an
appeal or start a new lawsuit.
Also, we're planning a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. That should be fun.

In case you can't read what it says:
"What rational, logical, thinking human being would
take a perfectly good high school (East) and turn it into a middle school, then
take a perfectly good middle school (Ordean) and turn it into a high school?
This school board mentality is already ruining our system of public education in
Duluth and must be stopped!!"

This is short and sweet or sour maybe. We have some very
long letters but these few words sum up the general discontent.

This note comes from one of a dozen letters to returned not to
the LDV post office box but to an active member of Let Duluth Vote. It came with
three crisp new ten dollar bills.

The webmaster is back. Yeehaw! We'll begin posting the
huge backlog of thank yous. Over the past 12 days with 1/4th of the school
district's households yet to receive our mail 739 folks sent back letters to LDV
most with donations and many with thank yous. Of these, eleven expressed
disagreement with us. One of the more printable opposition notes follows this
thank you. Its from contractors who are outraged by the School
Board.
This one only calls us "crooks."

Many donors contribute anonymously. Some may be School
District employees who dislike the Red Plan but who are fearful of suffering
retribution at the hands of the Administration. This contributor sealed a ten
dollar bill in this piece of paper but put a happy face on it.
Jan 10
We received almost 60 letters with donations today. We've
never asked for Thank yous. They just come at a rate of one per ten donations.
There are a lot to choose from today and we've already got a big stockpile of
past thank yous. Our webmaster will soon be on vacation for two weeks so you
will need to catch his blog - www.lincolndemocrat.com
to see a new thank you each day until he returns and can attend to this website.
Here's today's:

We do have them available.

People send us thanks in the memos too. These proud Central grads
wanted us to know that Central produced health care professionals from their
three children. Two are doctors and one is a physical therapist.

This person sent us the letter he sent the School Board
but which was never acknowledged.
That's why he donated $100 to Let Duluth Vote. This is how it begins:

Sorry about gap in posts. We've been too busy to keep up.
5,000 more fundraising letters went out just after Christmas. Today the first
replies began showing up. We hide the names.

Apparently everyone in these two extended families
supports Let Duluth Vote
Dec 18
A medical condition is draining away this family's
resources but they still sent us a small contribution. By the way, A Trib
story, without meaning to contradict the School Board, just made it
clear that the taxes on an average home because of the Red Plan will be three
times higher than the School Board said.
Dec 17
The notes says: "Hope this little bit helps."
What's your bet that this was from a person digging deep to give us a hand.
Just
imagine what inflation, if and when it hits, will do to such folks.
