They do if you are Pastor Patrick Payton.
Midlands Stonegate Fellowship Pastor Patrick Payton -- who heads the largest church in the area, with about 5,000 members is the most vocal bond proponent.
His tactics have drawn fire
as they should.
Pastor Peyton was on CBS 7 News speaking at a recent school board meeting. He proposed a controlled rebellion and said if it means breaking rules and getting in trouble, lets break rules and get in trouble to pass the bond initiative.
The comments were captured on video, on the evening news and now the center of focus for West Texas radio talk show host and citizen watchdog Jason Moore. He posted the video on his Facebook - http://www.cbs7.com/video/index.asp?vid=14703

Today, our members received our weekly update. I had a typo in the update and want to set the record straight. Here is the corrected item:
Scaring conservatives all over the state!
We at Americans for Prosperity Foundation - Texas have launched our Economic Freedom Tour. I've already traveled 2,216 miles on this new tour, with thousands of miles to go across this great state.
The facts are startling: America is in a free-fall and has declined from #2 to #10 on the economic freedom rankings is on the way to #15 to #20.
We can stop that free fall - schedule us to give the Economic Freedom presentation to your group and we'll explain how.

As a resident of Round Rock ISD, I have a stake in the District's decisions. The board is meeting tomorrow night to vote on school boundaries and the Superintendent is slated to discuss a new bond initiative. Here is the communications I sent to board members:
RRISD Board Members,
We will have someone at the meeting on Thursday. I hope that the kids best interests are first and foremost in your minds as you vote on the ISD boundary issue and each of the issues on your agenda. I will be out of town or I would be attending myself.
I am mindful of the controversy surrounding the board and want to remind you that voters are expecting you to act in the kids, parents and taxpayers best interest. Personal politics should not enter into the important decisions you make on the board.

[img_assist|nid=26414|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=288|height=300]In an address June, 2011, President Obama said, Of course, there's been a real debate about where to invest and where to cut, and I'm committed to working with members of both parties to cut our deficits and debt. But we can't simply cut our way to prosperity.
Pete Sorenson, an Oregon local official Lane County commissioner said recently: Whatever the ultimate solution to our county funding issues, history has taught us that we can't cut our way to prosperity. Sorenson, a former Congressional aid and former State Senator, is a Democrat in a liberal state.
