Conflict

“Why was the Spring Fling held on the same day of the CCHS prom? The young ladies that attended their prom couldn't compete in the beauty pageant.

It's a shame

“ It's a shame that more people won't support the Spring Fling. By my estimate there was a maximum of 200 people on the courthouse square. Shame on you, Moultrie and Colquitt County citizens.

Upset

“There should be a formal protest that the Ellenton farmworkers’ clinic is getting stimulus money. Most of the patients are illegal aliens. If you are a taxpaying citizen, you should be very upset about this.

Protesting

“So now protesting the policies of the president is unhealthy, at least according to Obama's senior advisor. I wonder what his opinion of the protests against Bush was.... I bet he never said unhealthy. Just another example of the hypocrisy of this administration.

Seek stimulus

“For those of you who suffer from water problems after heavy rains, please contact your congressman and ask them to push for stimulus money to correct the drainage problems. The time is now, don't sit back and wait for someone else to do it for you. Let’s not miss out on help for our area, especially the subdivisions that were built on swamp land.

My taxes

“Why are my tax dollars going to a clinic in Ellenton that will only give medical service to illegal aliens. This is a good example of why the tea parties are a good idea and we must vote out of office all those who support a misuse of tax dollars in this form. If the farmers want to use illegals on their farm they should pay for their medical. Not we the people .

Thanks

“This letter is way overdue. I would like to thank the Autryville Baptist Church for everything they have done for my section and me in a recent deployment to Iraq. During my last deployment the church gave us encouragement and motivation that real people care about the soldiers overseas.

They quietly offered us prayers and encouragement which I know were answered. My men felt so glad to hear from the congregation and still ask about them.

We took several casualties during this deployment and the members stepped in to write the wounded soldiers without families and bring them closer to Gods love.

I am very proud of where I come from and I am humbled by your actions.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.

I am saddened
Dear editor:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended Field Day at Sunset Elementary where my oldest daughter attends the Pre-K program. I was deeply saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicky Watson will be retiring this year.
