"We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate." -- Thomas Jefferson
On the morning before our great meeting at the Webster Parish School Board, I would like to remind each and every one of you that it is very important for you to be in attendance tonight. We have done everything within our power to let our voices be heard, and many of those supporting our cause have bravely placed their names upon the agenda of tonight's meeting and will stand, fearlessly, to speak on our behalf. Let us all be there in support, and let us all bring our yard signs. (No metal stakes, please.)
No matter what happens, know that we have fought with grit and determination. We have stood strong and united, coming together in a way that our little communities never have before, and I am proud that our voices are all in unison. Congratulations on a job well done. You have defied the odds by standing strong together. You have accomplished what they said could not be done-- you have all worked together, and hand in hand tonight we will march into that School Board meeting and give it all that we've got.
We have all been participants. We have taught our children to fight for what they believe in, and that, my friends, is what this country is all about.
See you tonight!
Jacquelyn Lewis
