Dear editor:

By the slimmest of margins, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the "American Clean Energy and Security Act" last Friday.

The 1,500-page bill, which included a 300-page, last-minute floor amendment, would impose massive new costs and burdensome regulations on American businesses and cost millions of Americans their jobs while making a negligible impact on worldwide climate.

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce wholeheartedly supports the development of an energy plan that takes into account conservation of the environment, less reliance on foreign sources of oil, and the availability of affordable energy for our homes and businesses. These goals are not mutually exclusive, but developing the sound policy to achieve them will take more time than Congress and the President appear willing to spend. Without question, the bill as passed on Friday is not the answer.

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce wishes to publicly applaud Representative Jim Marshall for his willingness to do what was right for the people of Georgia by voting to oppose this detrimental legislation. His district and our state are fortunate to enjoy his leadership.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Remember back in the early sixties when people were digging bomb shelters in fear of the “Big One” being dropped on us? I recall how an alarm would go off at school, and we would get under our desks. What a joke! Get under our desks when one entire wall was glass!

Outpouring of love
Dear editor:
What words can be added to so many that have been said in prayer and praise for our Haley? We have witnessed an outpouring of love and sacrifice for our families, and we truly cannot express our feelings of humility and gratitude.

Were we really shocked by the half-time cheap shot?
There’s an old saying, “Go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.”

What's at stake here?
Dear editor
It looks like one of my worst fears is about to happen. With President Obama’s withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq it appears the democratic government we set up in Iraq is getting ready to come apart. The Shiites and Sunnis are at each others throats and the Kurds and Turkey are already shooting at each other. Iran seems to be paused to take up the vacuum we will be left and obtain a nuclear weapon. In 2007 the Democrats were clamoring for President Bush to get our troops out of Iraq.

Hold the parsley — Give me the food
Occasionally I will watch one of those food shows on cable television. I find them more curious than I do entertaining. And sometimes, with only 100 channels at my disposal, I have to settle for curious.

'No' to incumbents
Dear editor:
Joe Biden came to Cowtown (Ft. Worth) to raise funds for his boss Obama. Picked up $125,000 from some "Fat Cat" liberals, part of the millionaire's raising Obama's teleprompter fund to over $225 million.
