Take Back Hudson ( Can You Hear Us NOW!!!)

There are a lot of people who think Hudson is just about one of the best places on earth to live and raise a family. I'm one of them. There's always been something special about Hudson, a small town community with a cosmospolitan population. It's the perfect blend of urban and rural, of down home simplicity, and cultural sophistication. Long before I moved here, 20 years ago I'd encountered students from Hudson High School in other parts of Wisconsin mostly in musical bands or groups. I really don't care how hokey this sounds, but somehow I knew Hudson was a community that valued education because it showed in their kids. Valuing education is a part of the fabric and tradition of this community.
Fast forward to 2 or 3 years ago. All of a sudden, a small, but extremely vocal group of Hudsonites decided that the Hudson Schools were a center of corruption, a drain on the resources of the residents and needed to have their sails trimmed. Through 2 school board elections and countless frivolous and unfounded allegations at school board meetings and in the press, this group has been relentless and effective in tearing the community apart.
Go read what they say today at ontheborderline.net. Especially the comments about a school board member.
The net result that this small group of holligans has had on our community is nothing but division, and strife. They have brought nothing but mayhem, commotion and divisiveness to Hudson.
There's no need to go on. You know who these people are and what they're trying to do.
It's time to say ENOUGH. We're tired of the contant criticism and attacks on community minded people
and school board memberswho are trying to move Hudson forward.
We're tired of the constant fishing for some smoking gun of wrong doing.
We're tired and fed up with what they are trying to do to Hudson.
Their most recent incarnation of this group is in the person of James Baker. As an individual Mr. Baker may well be a fine upstanding gentleman. But his association with the unsavory characters who champion his bid for school board member is a formula for disaster.
If you agree, send a message to these people.
Vote for anyone but Baker in the coming election. It's time to
TAKE BACK HUDSON!!!!!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Keep in mind that in America you have a right to your opinons (unless you happened to question the questioners ontheborderline.net) and a right to fight for what you believe in.

That's why this blog site has always been a totally OPEN forum for people to comment on the issues and join the debate. Unlike the bloggers at OTBL who lockout the opinions they don't agree with and alert the comments of some participants to totally different meanings, we value your opinions and ideas.

Obviously, the current focus is on the pending school board and other local elections. Even though the peculiar anti-community ideas and thinking patterns displayed at OTBL don't agree with the vast majority of common sense people in this community, county, state and nation, we try to make sure you readers know what they are plotting over there and what we think about it.

What we here at abovetheborderline would call "a community working together for a better tomorrow," they would call an expanding conspiracy that involves everyone who does agree with or questions their antics and ideas.

I'm not good at remembering Bible verse numbers, but there's one that says not to keep your candle under a basket. Conversely, we don't intend to let the OTBL'ers keep their darkness hiden from the community.

I was born in Hudson and raised in the St. Croix Valley and it truly is one of the true garden spots of the universe.

Indeed, take back Hudson!
