| Opinion Poll: 51% would keep Constitution
By AMY RILEY
One Citizen's Perspective
One of the more interesting
polls published lately sought to measure how
Americans felt about the United States Constitution.
The poll, conducted by Portrait of America,
represented some rather interesting viewpoints and
produced some rather shocking results. If you've been
bothered by recent low voter turnouts, this poll may
shine a light on why some voters are turned on and
others are turned off.
Spamming the globe: Politics

The Olympics are starting soon
and I can't believe it has already been four years
since Richard Jewel became patron saint of the
security guards by turning a false arrest into
millions.
With a govt. like this, who needs

PTC'S Mayor 'Annex' is stacking the
deck in favor of density
Supersoakers at the July 4th
parade are a tradition. Fortunately, Ms. Herman's
letter seeking “common sense” did not
suggest that no one should get wet. Because the
people's wishes are ignored, it is the only
opportunity to show politicians our dissatisfaction.
Yes to
Hooters
It's American to have choices
As a 20-year-old female and an
upstanding citizen of Fayette County, I would like to
address the issue of the Hooters restaurant chain's
desire to build in the city of Fayetteville.
What about those newspaper ads?
The “Citizens of
Fayetteville opposing Hooters” need to wake up
and look around them.
Just look at kids parading in PTC
YES! I am a 29-year-old female
who is married with a 10-year-old son.
Lighten up, F'ville, and enjoy BBQ
We've got trouble right here in
River City! They're trying to open a Hooters
restaurant in our fair town!
Worry about high taxes, not Hooters
High property taxes, not enough
permanent school classrooms, yet we are worried about
a Hooters or other restaurants coming to town which
could broaden our tax base.
No to
Hooters
Baptist women no doormats for their
husbands
In response to the letter from
Mr. Jim Stinson: I'm one of those
“degradated” Baptist women you mentioned in
your recent letter. I guess you've never really met
one of us face to face because you've really got the
wrong idea about our lifestyle.
No 'hooting' allowed in Fayette
I'll say it:
“Keep the smutty Hooters out of our
backyard!”
Hooters demeans female employees
No, I do not support a Hooters
restaurant location in Fayetteville. Hooters
restaurant does not represent the family values of
Fayette County nor my personal Christian values.
School bonds make more sense for
building
I had the privilege of attending
the Facilities Advisory and Action Committees meeting
July 27. The committees are appointed by the Fayette
County Board of Education. One of the speakers was a
name that you may recognize — Mr. Claude Paquin.
Mrosek made impressive run; we
haven't heard last of him
This past Tuesday, election day,
was the culmination of a long, tiresome and grueling
campaign season for a number of people who cared
enough about their respective communities to get off
the sidelines and into the game. And with the
impending runoffs, it's still not over for a lot of
folks. As an elected official myself, my hat goes off
all of the candidates for a job well done. Sometimes
you win and sometimes you lose, but the important
thing is that you gave of yourself to give back to
your community, and we all should be thankful to you.
Barnes should appoint a Republican
to fill Covedell's seat
I was saddened by the sudden
passing of Georgia's senior Senator, Republican Paul
Coverdell. He had accomplished a great deal in his
much too short eight years in Washington D.C. and
represented Georgians with tremendous class and
tenacity. He will be sorely missed.
Wouldn' t you appreciate a prayer
for safety before takeoff?
I consider Peachtree City my
hometown. With its high concentration of airline
pilots living in the community, I felt this letter
appropriate:
Teen's irresponsibility
In response to “Why can't
parents just leave teen club alone?” by Derek
Rader in The Citizen July 26:
Our culture is sending strong signal
with Market shutdown
You wasted valuable space in The
Citizen when you let “dwiz” (Derek Rader)
shoot off his dumb mouth.
Ask questions, get involved, vote
Aug. 8
Congratulations to all the
candidates who ran in the primary elections. Whether
you won or lost, you are to be commended for making
the effort, for your willingness to get involved and
your commitment to public service.
Improve election preview layout
A local newspaper provides a
valuable and necessary service to the community, none
more important than disseminating accurate
information about candidates who are running for
election.
What's the use in voting if you
can't select from all the candidates?
Here
we go again. I'm beginning to see the local media
encouraging citizens to vote in the Aug. 8 runoff
elections.

Hello,
my name is Matt Zevenbergen, and I am presently stationed
