Rants and Raves for April 21

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.
