Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Mayor Hughes is quoted in the ?“This Weak in Pickerington?” that, ?“Those people that signed the recent initiatives were manipulated?”.

You know it must have taken some very intense training to teach these people how to manipulate. The petition organizers must be fantastic trainers. I also understand that many of these signers had signed last winter. I think they need to start attending some council meetings so that Lord Randall can steer them away from such evil doers.

Page one of the MANIPULATOR ADVANCED TRAINING manual. If you have never been a used car salesman you will be required to take a remedial course in how to tell a lie without those awful tell-tell signs that give you away. You can get special exemption if you ever served on Pickerington City Council. Now that it doesn?’t make you an excellent lair but he helps in the conditioning.

You need to get used to knocking on doors and convincing people to sign blank petitions. The people in Pickerington are very easy. You only need to look at who they have elected over the years to serve on their Council and for Mayor. The organizers needed to work fast this time out because there appears to be a growing awareness within the Pickerington Community. The circulators greets the lady or gentleman and first makes a complement on what a nice home they have as you stand in the middle of a dog, three kids, and a bird cage. So you say to them, I have a blank petition and we will fill it in later but we will certainly write something on them before they get to the city auditor. We are circulating blank ones because most of the people in Pickerington are gullible and will sign anything. Besides we can make more time if you don?’t waste ours by standing there for 20 minutes reading the damn thing. OH I?’m sorry did I say that?

I am sure the circulators are cashing in now. I think they got 27 car titles signed over and 4 houses during their petition drive. The banks always place a lien on the car so some titles can?’t simply be signed over. This also protects the idiots that might really sign over their cars from circulators all are very eager and can hardly wait until the next petition drive to save our city as we know it.

I'm ready to join the Navy Seals

Motivation class would be next. You must stand out in the cold on your neighbor?’s porch waiting for the slow ass woman to answer the door then tell her what a nice home she has by shouting through the glass storm door. Then she says OK then swings the door open and knocks you down three steps into the snow and you land on your butt. So for the next four houses you have this wet cold feeling that begins to freeze. You get your second signature and you are on your way down the side walk and the Pickerington snow plow comes up on the curb to blows a load of snow your way. Now you knock on the next door with white hair and a gift from the neighborhood dog that just created a small hole in the snow near the road. The man asks, what is that in your hair? You just reply a stink donut that I will enjoy once I get home to a good cup of hot chocolate. He answers you are welcome to some of my hot chocolate. Now you really must lie. However your training no longer is a factor. When you get a response from the next home owner you have a truly frozen face nothing will give your lies away now.

The next day the temperatures are in the middle of July with 90 degrees all month. Here again the houses are shut up because people are staying inside because of the heat. Door after door with no answer because people are on vacation and you are dripping wet before you complete one block. In the middle of the day you must wear sun block then in the evening you must wear insect repellant. West Nile Virus you know.

I think the circulators of these petitions worked very hard. They carried them in the dead of winter and they carried them in the middle of a very hot July. They never gave up. They circulated these petitions because they believed in what they were doing to help this community. To say they were manipulating the Pickerington voters is outrageous. Mr. Hughes they had no other motivation except they wanted to see this community develop in a reasonable and controlled manner. They want their children to be able to attend school and have adequate attention from their teachers. They want good schools and they worked very hard to help with that process. Who draws a salary from not only the school district but the city to say that 490 people in Pickerington area are so naive that they would sign a petition not knowing what was on it, nor the effect of the petition would have if it did get passed by the voters. Are Pickerington voters that stupid Lord Randall?


The telling story in the ?“This week?” article is the fact that the builders plan to block the circulators efforts. They plan to campaign against them. They may even file a protest with the board of elections. Once they do this it will again be the circulator?’s fault. Exactly when does this Mayor begin to take on the responsibility that he assumed in January 2000? He accepted money from the developers, and then he financed Lou Postage and John Washington?’s campaigns. The four incumbents last November accepted over $31,000 from these developers and now who do they show their allegiance too?

Their builder friends are coming to their rescue with big money that they made from the people in Pickerington that they manipulated over the last 10 years through their selected city council candidates.

Lord Randall's Goodies


Varlots:

How dare thee doubt Lord Randall. He doeth the bidding of King Daryll and recieves scan reward for his valiant effort/ Witnesseth the palty sums (a) a mere second rate cottage located on the streets of the Churches and (b) several steeds bred of the Harleys of Davidons and Beemers of greater Germania. Compareth the lot of poor Lord Randall with The Earl of Lee who getteth a center of shopping. Lord Randall must really love his realm to allow himself to be rewarded in so paltry a fashio so that King Daryl may spread his riches to his other minions.

Manipulation

Thank you Randall for using the ?“M?” word.

Should we also look to see if there are some other ?“fine?” examples of Manipulation with YOUR fingers attached?

1. Re-zoning this community?’s Commercial area behind Kroger?’s for your ?“buddy?’s?” (D.B.)additional homes? You served his needs so well as the previous Service Committee Chair.
2. Killing the Referendum allowing a citizen?’s vote against your desire to instantly rezone all newly annexed lands to R4. Just how many acres of previous agricultural lands have you slated for the higher density subdivisions of your mayoral campaigns financial supporters?
3. Mailing your ?“self proclaimed?” Fall Communicator to every area resident singing your will upon this entire community.
4. Calling off community ?“Growth Summit Meetings?” with your merger twist while still attempting to suck in every possible acre of land to fill up your twisted (staff written) Comprehensive Land Abuse Plan.

Randall, keep pointing your finger at others while 4 more point back at you.


By fine example you set
