Free advice for Ruthann Schlecht

I don’t know Ms. Schlecht, but I found myself agreeing with her letter in the Times News today about the money wasted by the Lehighton School Board.  With the death of Bill Hill and the resignation of Hal Resh from the Board, the tax and spend crowd is back in charge.

And then what does Ms. Schlecht do?  She attacks President Obama and links him to the activities of the Lehighton Board.  I’ve heard Obama blamed for many things, but the Lehighton School Board?  Really?

Here’s the free advice.  If you want to build support for a cause, or you want to form a coalition, reach out to people who agree with you ON THAT ISSUE.  Don’t drag in irrelevant matters that will turn off possible supporters.  You’ll do much better.
