What are we doing? The cuts in education are not acceptable. School buildings should be state-of-the-art. School teachers should be some of the highest paid people in the world. Cut education? No.
Being a parent and grandparent, I am ashamed for letting this happen on my watch. Using the backs of children to fix problems. Shame on me. We, as Americans, need to protest, speak up, do something, nonviolent. I will start by writing my so-called elected leaders, local, state and federal. I will then proceed to vote for no incumbent on the ballot. Republican, Democrat, Independent, Tea, whatever affiliation. Problems that have to do with the children (the future) of America are all concerns.
I am just a simple man with a simple plan. I vote for leaders to solve these situations. They are not doing so. I will help any way I can: taxes, fees, volunteering. I will not accept the plan of cutting children’s futures out of the fear of the present. Not on my watch.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
