ALEX BOARD SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR IGNORING ITS CONSTITUENTS

The sheer audacity of the Alexander School Board disregarding the wishes of 
the people they are elected to represent is a national disgrace.

These are the kinds of people no one wants to be in power, and the question 
is no longer whether there should be drug testing of students -- there 
shouldn't -- but whether or not some of the school board members need to be 
removed from office via the impeachment process.

The only tools given to voters to deal with such outright incompetence and 
dereliction of duty is the right to vote and the right to impeach elected 
officials who willfully disrespect and disregard the wishes of the majority 
of voters who elected them.

Democracy and freedom have no meaning if elected officials are allowed to 
ignore the people who elected them. This cannot be tolerated in America.

Impeach them!
