51	Anonymous	It is about time that people realize that you elections MEAN THINGS and that you have to show up to be represented.

53	Cindy & Perry Whitehair	We voted for Chris because we believe that he has the best interests of our schools and our children at heart. Over 3400 of our fellow residents felt the same way. We had the election, we're sorry you lost, but you lost. Please graciously accept defeat and work toward moving the community forward instead of tearing it apart!
54	Dr. Westerhaus	Well I support Chris
55	Dr. Westerhaus	I love Chris Lind
56	Sue Bruns
57	Osama bin Kersten	In the name of Satan, I support this petition.
58	Paul Daley	THANK YOU FOR PRACTICING DEMOCRACY AND COMMON SENSE.
59	JC Refuge	What a hoot! Surely the democratic process is flawed, some are saying. In fact, perhaps it IS time we lay down our own perspectives on the issues in favor of bowing to the small minority who obviously know what is best for us.
60	Joe Johnson	Sue Heaton has a lets come together letter to the editor. Yet she sent our vicious mass emails Sue's emails attack the democracy and telling people to "STEP UP THE ATTACKS ON CHRiS". She gave out his address, phone number and email address. What was she suggesting to punch him, his kids or burn his house down? Saying one thing in public and doing another thing through mass emails is sick Sue Heaton. You reep what you sow.
61	Dr. Westerhaus	Sue Heaton is an ass clown
62	Sue Jeffers	The Prior Lake School District levy was defeated by the voters and a new board member elected. The voters spoke at the ballot box. I hope the board members were listening. Sue Jeffers

65	Anonymous	I find it nothing short of reprehensible that a small and vocal minority wants to throw the gauntlet down in front of the majority. Let the entire board resign!
66	Tom Westerhaus should RESIGN NOW	Start a new petition. TOM WESTERHAUS RESIGN Tom Westerhaus you blame Chris and voters. Resign effective Dec.31 Chris will have one vote of the seven. The largest voter turnout in a non-presidential year. The voters have spoken and you have disrespected them. A year from now if the levy goes down many people will point to the way you handled your exit. TOM IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO RESIGN NOW. Why have Martha Hoover and Sue Heaston do your dirty work?
67	Frank Carlson	Tom should resign effective now.
68	Shorty	You all want Chris to stay on the board, that's fine, but when some pervert (like Mr. Lind) violates your daughters in the school......don't complain...you asked for it!!!
69	Your Daughter	HEY!!! Wait a minute didnt your daughter violate the football team?
70	Words don't Match Actions	Chris Won By Like 450 votes from the next person. He shared in is candidate piece that he wrongfully fired. His firing was in the Prior Lake American, Savage Pacer, Star and Tribune all did multiple stories on his firing. The KSTP story last night was funny. Steve Sammis, Lori Anderson, Julie Christian and Martha Hoover on the program none of them claimed to vote for Chris but were concerned that people that did were uniformed. Claiming they want to help the district move on but they are not moving on. With all the free advertisements they should have 5 thousand signatures first and last name by now. They don't because people have moved on. Prior Lake American shame on you do you not know you can't "Oust" someone with a petition. I am so done reading the blogs. The editors continue to feed out this small group. This is American were we have a elected democracy get over it. Unfortunately Tom Westerhaus' legacy with help of this group will be leaving the district in turmoil and many failed levies. People will begin to look at this small group and Westerhaus as the real problem. Sixty percent voted against the levy are you getting them back by blaming the voters. This is America you have the right to express your opinion even if it doesn't match your actions.
71	Dr. Westerhaus is still my daddy	I slept with the School Board
72	Ponytail Guy	Why can't all get along? Why did Tom start all this? Did he not get the job at Wazata because he empowered a small group to try and divide the community?
73	Bob Aman	Today, we will allow teachers to teach the big bang, evolution and Darwin in our classrooms, but never any idea that God just may have something to do with anything in our lives, fine. We also allow the removal of the word God from the classroom entirely. What's next, government, our money and our constitution? But we pounce on any adult or child telling our kids, on their own time even, to abstain from premarital sex, especially as kids? This is precisely what is wrong with the public school system today, along with allowing people, who's lives seem to revolve on the control of others, like some on the 719 board today, and unfortunately some of the OLD past members who are still out there needing to control something or someone. Giving them a platform for their personal form of dictatorship, by a public demand of silence of the other side of any issue,is wrong. It should stop here, today, now. OLD school values are making a much needed comeback. Abstinence does work, in drugs, food, alcohol, and sex, so why is it a problem to tell kids that? If more of us like Mr. Lind, would get a spine and return to some of the OLD school day morals, I really believe kids today may regain the respect that I, and many of us had, for adults, parents and teachers back then. This is sadly missing today because of people like the ones asking for Mr. Lind's resignation, his personal files opened and his my space gone. If that is all fine and good, then the entire board, past and present, should follow Ms. Hoovers suggestion and disappear too. Just let the kids make up their own minds without any direction , from ANYONE! The belief that freedom of speech and the idea of moral values are only allowed for the ones deciding what can be said and by who they decide can say it, is WRONG in America, but very well accepted in other parts of the world, just not here. I really believe she, and a few others, think the 3000+ voters who want him ON the board are just stupid, uninformed and insignificant, since we do not share her values or demands. Interesting, how controlling that sounds. Talk about it is good, but demand it gone is telling our kids, if you want it your way, remove the competition. Wow!, how controlling does that sound too.
74	GoChrisGo ILoveYouMan	I read the "Sue Heaton" email. The email states that voters were duped and mislead by Lind, and that they didn't know all the facts. (In the email it even states that one voter thought they were voting for a woman...) Now that Ms. Heaton has shown them the truth (liberally peppered with her bitterness and spite) these concerned people want to recall their votes to overturn the results. Oh puh-leeze... How on earth could you not know Lind's story? How dare you try to reverse a fair and legitimate election with this tripe? And to you voters who weren't informed of the facts: You deal with it. I'm not going to have this election disregarded to make up for your ignorance and stupidity. A note to the pro-referendum clique: I grow tired of your tactics and I have no faith in anything you say. You've got some work to do if you want my vote for another levy.
75	Sue Head Ache	Here is Sue's email address she will forward it to you. Ask her for all her mass email's heatonjorenby@mchsi.com
76	Tom Halm	Why did the PL American not print the URL of the quote they say was written by Chris? Why did they not tell us what was before it or after it? Pretty suspicious. Why did they quote Martha Hoover with concerns with how Chris talked on the web without Martha being specific? I have many concerns that Joanna Miller, Prior Lake American and Savage Pacer are not creditable anymore. They are lap dogs to Martha and the four stooges and Westerhaus. I guess I don't have to go into details. I am so done reading those rags.
77	Anonymous	Sure no problem. We will ask every board member who was fired from the district who is then threatening to sue the district to release their files. I think our new board elect is the only one to do this here ... in fact the only one to do it in the history of the state of Minnesota. Anyone see a problem with this scenario???????
78	Anonymous	Chris chose to have an open board firing. This allowed the a summary of his personnel file read and released. Why did he do that? If he would have chosen a closed board firing no reasons would have been given. I bet the board members can not name another person who had a open firing. So the district released what they thought would help them. Chris should sue. He is either right it is a wrongful termination or the district's firing will be affirmed. I WONDER IF WESTERHAUS WAS NOT PICKED BY WAYZATA BECAUSE THE WAY HE IS LEAVING THE DISTRICT. You have to think twice about hiring him when you does this to a district.

80	Anonymous	Anyone happen to read the Star Tribune today? We are cutting $1.1M from student services due to budget restraints and we get to WASTE taxpayer money on Mr. Lind's 'demand' letters. Thank you Mr. Lind. Its obvious to me you have the concerns of the kids and district first and foremost in your mind. In a word; embarrassing.
81	Suit and Election two different things	People smearing Chris should be happy he is suing. More information will come out if it goes to trial. If it does not go to trial is the only way the district can stop more information from getting out. That would be a clear signal the facts are on Chris' side. Chris' suit and his election to board are two different things.
82	Not two different things	Suing the district and Chris' election to the board are not two different things. When you run for school board you are agreeing to an oath to do what is in the best interest of the kids you are supposed to be serving. Suing the district for your sole benefit is a violation of that public oath and moral responsibility. These two actions are in direct conflict with each other and severly hurts kids. He has the right to sue if he so chooses. However, if he is down that path (which obviously we now know he is) he should fulfil his ethical and moral responsibility and resign. That would be the Christian thing to do.
83	You are an Idiot	Just so we are clear. Any person who sues a school or district should then have nothing to do with that school or district. They should resign and leave.
