I'm with you all. I would sign such a letter.
It's about time we stop being the silent crowd that never speaks up.
On top of all what you have said I would also add the extra work to be put

have to be implemented in the same year??? New Hatamot, computerized exam,
literature program...did I forget something?
Way too much for one year...and where are we??
