[Winona Online Democracy]
I wanted to address one of the points Kelly Herold's made in his reply to
Mr. Schmidt.
I think Kelly is under the impression that Winona Online Democracy is, as a
whole, likely to vote against the upcoming referendum. Kelly, is that an
accurate summary of your point below or did I misread your intent?
To Craig Brooks or one of the other archive masters, isn't that actually
completely flip-flopped?
If I recall correctly, during the last referendum a poll was taken of WOD
subscribers and it was by and far away in favor of the referendum even
though the community at large voted it down. Does anyone have access to
those numbers?
I think some of Steve Schild's research has also documented that in the past
that WOD has had a large majority in favor of public school referendums.
I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that WOD is actually a
"friendly" or "sympathetic" audience when it comes to referendums. (I
realize those are hard words to define exactly.)
This isn't a big deal but I think it's important not to cast WOD as being
opposed to referendums. These are many of the biggest "friends" of public
education there are out there.

To begin - thank you for your input - it is appreciated. I feel this is
an especially arduous task knowing that WOD participants are by and large
seeming to vote waiting to vote no. That saddens me. While this task
seems fruitless - I am encouraged to read you are willing to engage.
