LETTER: School Board Candidates Park, Stanton Will Not Positively Impact District

Last spring, six residents joined incumbents Richard (Dick) Stanton and Young Park as candidates for the four open seats on the Wissahickon School Board of Directors.
In an exercise of free speech, Pat Latimer, Barbara Moyer and Shirley White created and circulated a flyer in the community that encouraged residents to vote in the primary and to consider the six new candidates.
This effort resulted in a lawsuit for an injunction filed against the three women on the eve of primary Election Day by Plaintiffs: Candidate Richard Stanton, Area 10 Republican Chairman Albert DeGennaro, and the Montgomery County Republican Committee (MCRC). These Petitioners were represented by attorney Robert Kerns, chair of the MCRC.
The court order directed them to "cease and desist" circulation of the flyer. Justification for the lawsuit included "that these flyers are deceptive and will 
confuse the voters on who is running as a team", that Petitioners have been irreparably harmed by the dissemination", and "as a result of the dissemination of this flyer, Stanton's campaign and candidacy have been improperly and unjustly jeopardized."
Incumbent candidate Richard Stanton and incumbent candidate Board President Young Park served the court papers on Pat Latimer at her home.
Whitpain Constable and member of the Republican Committee Dave Ullery served Barbara Moyer and Shirley White.
Two days after the election, the lawsuit was withdrawn by Mr. Robert Kerns.
On Tuesday November 5th, we urge voters to consider this matter of public record and carefully consider the candidates running for the four open seats on the Wissahickon School Board.
These five candidates are: Becker, Honeycutt, Noon, Stoloff and Walsh. All have great backgrounds, skill sets, and offer fresh perspectives and ideas.
We believe they can serve as strong leaders who will positively impact our district. Please: Select 4 for Change.
