Letters

To the editor:
Are you as confused as I am as to whose side God is on in the political arena?
The rejoinder materializing from my query has left me befuddled, bewildered, discombobulated, and … well, you know, confused.
The founding fathers established a separation of church and state to ensure religious freedom in our country through the First Amendment. Even so religion and politics has always been a capricious amalgam at the dinner table as well as on the local and national scenes.

To the editor:
I would like to thank everyone for their support in our annual Shop With A Cop program.
The continued success of this program is because we live in a very giving and supportive community. Each year the program continues to grow thanks to your help.
A big thanks to all of our emergency service personnel that volunteered their time to shop with a child this year.  Of course, without the businesses and individuals who donated and helped us raise the money needed, none of this would be possible.

Editor’s note: The following letter was written to Judge-Executive John Wayne Conway and submitted here for publication.
To the editor:
I was totally shocked and terribly disappointed upon reading the Dec. 11 Anderson News article that you have arbitrarily tabled unification efforts to merge our local governments; particularly in view of the apparent good faith votes of the city council and fiscal court on Aug. 16 to adopt ordinances creating a unification review commission.

To the editor:
During these turbulent times we are hearing daily of mistreatment of our children and the elderly.
People, wake up! We are all responsible for our most vulnerable, not just social workers, school nurses, teachers, police and other law enforcement.
We, as family and friends, neighbors, co-workers or even fellow shoppers have a responsibility to report and follow up on unusual and questionable situations concerning our children and aging citizens.
