Unholy Rollers
If you don't think there's a local "Christian" book-burning taliban centered at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande, have a look at this video.
Apparently, these zealots are completely unaware of the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits the government from establishing or promoting a religion.
This church has put up four candidates to "flip" the Lucia Mar School Board and Arroyo Grande City Council so "Godly" people will be in charge of our schools, municipal government and all the money it takes to run both.
These people pose a genuine danger to our democracy, and must be decisively defeated at the polls. If you live in the South County of San Luis Obispo County, vote for these candidates to stop the book burners:
• Anna Cordero, Trustee Area 3
• Colleen Martin, Trustee Area 5
• David Warren, Trustee Area 6
• Donna Kandel, Trustee Area 7
Same goes for the North County, where voters also face a religionist, maga-MFL (Moms for Liberty) infestation in their school boards.
If you see one of these names on your ballot, fill in that bubble and get your ballot turned in:
• Jim Cogan, District 1 – Paso Robles Joint Unified School District
• Jennifer Hamm, District 4 – Paso Robles Joint Unified School District
• Forrest Person – Templeton Unified School District
