Well, readers, I joined. Paid my dues. I'm official PTA.
I went to the organizational meeting last night and signed by the X. After a brief explanation of how the group came about (horrified local citizens outraged over two school referendums that failed last November) and a PowerPoint presentation on the benefits of having/joining the PTA (think of the children! Tap into state and national PTA resources! Websites! Magazines!), I wasn't sure if I didn't also agree to vote Democrat in the next elections. We'll see. I guess if someone calls to offer me a ride and a pack of cigarettes and wants to register my deceased Rottweiler, I'll know.
I got home and told The VP all about it. I must have sounded like a sound bite from a DFL talking points press kit. He shook his head. "They got to you, didn't they?"
I nodded. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Help me, dear."
He pulled me close, tightened his arms around me and started whispering in my ear
...supply-side economics...It worked. My bones turned to jelly. I grabbed his shirt and...welfare reform...
...permanent abolition of the estate tax...
...conceal and carry permits...
...dissolving the UN...

Posted by: Pam at April 2, 2006 06:35 PMSo does that mean that now you can call Indoctrination Minnesota and tell them how you feel about the wonderful job they're doing? I understand that PTA members have to sign a blood oath that they'll agree with everything IM does. Kinda like the Mafia.
