James Carr: Wade and Rudy were not sued for doing anything wrong, they were persecuted for trying to find a solution to the real problem that hundreds of thousands of teachers are dealing with: A corrupt political/corporate complex that uses our funds to to benefit politicians, STRS employees, and Wall Street Money Managers.

From James Carr

The politicians are upset with us;  OEA is upset with us;  the STRS administrative hierarchy is upset with us; Wall Street is upset with us.  What did we do to incur their ire?  We had the audacity to simply demand to be given what we were contractually promised.

Wade and Rudy were not sued for doing anything wrong, they were persecuted for trying to find a solution to the real problem that hundreds of thousands of teachers are dealing with:  A corrupt political/corporate complex that uses our funds to to benefit politicians, STRS employees, and Wall Street Money Managers.

This much is absolutely clear, the politicians, the STRS employees, and the Wall Street Money Managers don't want a solution because they don't see our predicament as a problem.  Our pain has always been their gain. Of course they want to take away the voting rights of elected Board members because we are a threat.  They have no interest in helping us but they have a very powerful vested interest in maintaining the status quo.  They care about our money, not us.
