Woodstock CT Café

from Another PTO Mom 

The PTO cannot work to back candidates in elections. It is against the SEEC rules. We will be silent in the upcoming elction. There will be no discussions at our meetings, no reminders to vote, no lawn signs.

Members of this community, however, should not ignore their civic duty and responsibilty to vote. I hope their are enough people willing to pay attention, to take time out of their busy schedules and get out there and VOTE!

Republicans, Democrats and Independents,

The Woodstock Republicans need your support in order to elect their BOF candidates who are fiscally conservative, but fair, able to work with others, value the maintainence of infrastructure, and support our fine schools-all in order to preserve their value and provide a community that is healthy and vibrant. The candidates believe in smart spending and are against a penny-wise pound foolish mentality that would lead our town down a dangerous path.

Below is the WRTC Platform. Please note our emphasis on leadership, fiscal planning, education, and environmental concerns. I think that readers, whether conservative or independent, will find our objectives fair, considerate, pertinent, and valuable in meeting the demands that our town will face in the coming years.

WOODSTOCK REPUBLICAN TOWN COMMITTEE PLATFORM

MISSION: The mission of the WRTC is to incorporate the objectives of our platform into an efficient, transparent, and accountable government that serves the town of Woodstock with honesty, pragmatism, and a spirit of cooperation, and that seeks to unite all townspeople with a clear vision for creating a healthy, safe, and prosperous community.

Our platform values are organized into four areas which provide a comprehensive approach towards meeting our mission. These areas include Leadership, Fiscal Responsibility, Education, and Environment. It is our belief that these values will be upheld with pride and courage by our members and our endorsed candidates. It is our hope that they will guide us and protect the community with a consistent conservative perspective during times of earned prosperity and in times of economic hardship.
