I cannot believe there is a “witch hunt” on for Anderson City Councilman and Anderson Parks Recreational Superintendent, Rodney Chamberlain. I do not need to wait for an investigation. I have known Rodney Chamberlain for more than 30 years and first met him while he and I were working with the Anderson youth involving church basketball and church softball. There is no way he has stepped over any line involving his work.
City Councilman Rodney Chamberlain has shown on several occasions to be his own man while voting his conscience against his boss’s boss, the mayor of Anderson. Rodney Chamberlain has also worked tireless, unpaid hours as our city’s park recreational superintendent. Rodney Chamberlain received more votes than other city councilman in the last election primarily because the voters of Anderson were aware of all the work he has done for our community.
I would even say that Rodney Chamberlain has the potential to be the mayor of Anderson at some future date. I would hope that the citizens of Anderson would reserve their judgement and keep an open mind until proof of Chamberlain’s innocence is revealed.

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.

Viewpoint: Look at Creation Museum from an educational, scientific perspective
I encourage any and all who have interest in this vitally important topic to “go to the source,” to invest the time and energy into exploring The Creation Museum for themselves.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.

Letter: Smith’s firings appear vindictive
Anderson is a city of negative publicity and actions. Why else is Sears leaving? Can we stand four years of vindictive actions and negative reporting?

If there was one good reason for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl, it would be because of what I had read.

Viewpoint: Anderson a microcosm of America
Wherever I have found comments that I felt were outside the values I believe in or were plain misinformation I have spoken out. At times that has been done with a lack of eloquence.

Viewpoint: Problems in Anderson go back to President Carter
On Jan. 21, Frank Couch of Anderson stated that political conservatives “just don’t get it.” He sort of indicates Sears’ closing in Anderson is due to the new mayor being Republican.
