  • Reader responds to registration law letter

    To the Editor:
    This letter is in response to the new vehicle registration law letter printed in your column on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012.
    Comparing the DMV office with the Voter Registration office is the same as saying the people in Florida will use as much fuel oil as the people in Alaska.
    I have never seen or heard about at the DMV poll taxes, mad dogs, police, water hose, oppression, depression or a literacy test. Oh, by the way, Garfield was the 20th president.

  • Utopia and individual liberties

    To the Editor:
    I have been teaching for over two years now and I am shocked at the level of ignorance concerning the basic principles of our Constitution.
    There seems to be a collective opinion that the government is some type of other person or being that is supposed to create this utopian world where all things are equal and most importantly, the outcomes of life are the same. This should not be surprising when the president of the U.S. speaks of "fundamentally changing the country."

  • Stop imports

    We need to stop imports from coming into our country and help save American jobs.
    We have sent a lot of people to Washington to give us jobs, but we still do not have jobs. We need a person to run for president to say he will stop imports now. To help us stop imports, call 903-789-5924.
    Gov. Nikki Haley should put a $3,000 fee on every container that comes from overseas and use that the money to help people who want to work but can't find a job.

  • Disagrees with prayer decision

    Recently, the Obama administration objected to adding Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
    It was noted that the objection came during a congressional hearing a few days ago on Rep. Bill Johnson's, R. Ohio, bill – the “World War 11 Memorial Prayer Act of 2011.
    Now, let's look back in history and see if we can remember what President Roosevelt stated in his prayer and why did he do so.

  • Family grateful for help after house fire

    To the Editor:
    October 3, 2011, was a hard day for so many people. My nephew, the Rev. Ronnie Greene, lost his son we all called Dee Dee. He was so special to me.
    Within hours, my daughter called me and told me my adopted grandson Mikey McMurray was found dead about 7 or 8 a.m.

  • Count me in to do the right thing says thanks

    To the Editor:
    "I was thinking this year's toy drive will be the best year by far!" This is the quote of our toy drive chairperson Ms. Patton, and the Count Me In second annual toy drive was the best!
    The 2011 Toy Drive was a huge success and our youth could receive a good feeling inside knowing that they shopped to make a difference in the Christmas of other youth.

  • Enjoy soup, fellowship at Pleasant Grove UMC

    To the Editor:
    On the first Saturday of each month, I've enjoyed a delicious bowl of vegetable soup with cornbread or crackers at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Gaston Farm Road in the Richburg/Lewisville area.
    This past December when I was eating my soup and enjoying the warm fellowship, I decided I wanted others to know about this place where they can go and be filled with a hearty bowl of soup and have good fellowship and conversation. All of this is free, or you can give a small donation.
