Send a letter

“Everyone in the Tift County area should send Congressman Marshall and Senator Chambliss a letter or e-mail demanding that Congress and the Senate have to use any health care that they pass.”



Heads up?

“I agree with ‘Do something’ that turn lanes are needed at the Carpenter and King Road intersection. Anybody who has been through there during peak traffic will probably agree. It would be nice if the highway powers could give us a heads up as to whether anything is planned...”



Good job

“I would like to Rave for the Tift County Rec Department 11 and 12-year-old girls for winning the district championship on Saturday. Good job, girls.”



All should go

“Just watching the Senate debate this morning, Harry Reid and Jim Bunning. I think it’s time also that all of these old-time politicians get kicked out of Washington, every one of them, Republican, Democrat, Independent, whatever. ...All they’re in there for is to spend the taxpayers’ money. Everybody is being laid off, losing their jobs, losing their benefits. What has Washington’s people lost? Nothing. Have they lost any benefits? Have they lost any days? Have they taken a cut in pay? No. They get their regular salaries from us and all they do is spend their time fussing and arguing with each other and they cannot get anything accomplished. ...Why don’t they change their way of thinking. As time goes by, things change...”



No wonder

“It’s no wonder we don’t have any jobs for our everyday working people. Everything we use — clothes, food, everything we use practically — comes from foreign countries. Until our manufacturers are moved back to the U.S., we’re not going to have an increase in jobs for the ordinary working person.”



The value of music

“Honoring our veterans Monday evening with the Navy Sea Chanters concert certainly shows the value of superb music. Why would local and state policy makers even consider cutting music and art in our schools? Those sailors learned to sing when they were in school.”



Pride and joy

“Congratulations to our pride and joy, Aidan Cole Watson, our Blue Ribbon Baby. God bless you. We love you. Thanks to all that voted for Aidan.”



Poster boy

“It seems like the Republican party, also known as the ‘No’ party, has a new poster boy in Senator Bunning of Kentucky. He represents the Republicans for what they stand for.”



Tell me

“Would somebody please tell me why the gas is going up so high? You almost have to have three jobs just to fill up your tank now.”
