Live
free, or die it's up to us
By DAVE
HAMRICK
Editor-at-large
Last week, before
we started our bombing runs, I was encouraged by faint signs that economic
activity may be resuming, at least in this area.

When you mention
the word "festival," it conjures up totally different ideas
in the minds of men and women.
LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Stealing
flag mocks all our nation stands for
The destruction
of the World Trade Center buildings in New York, and the attack on the
Pentagon, sent shock waves through our society. Scarcely anyone in Peachtree
City was unaffected. s
Shame
on flag stealers
I am sad, disappointed
and angry to find that, at this time of national mourning and crisis,
a despicable and unpatriotic act of disrespect to the flag and to the
cause for which it is being displayed has been occurring in Peachtree
City.
Are
officials being too harsh on fair-buzzing teen pilot?
This is going too
far.
Getting
back to normal?
In the aftermath
of the terrorist attack, some are saying they'll be glad when things
get back to normal. Personally, I hope it never gets back to normal.
If you mean by normal, that we will return to the extreme cynicism toward
our elected officials, I don't want to get back to normal. If you mean
that we will return to our self-consumed lifestyles, I don't want to
return to normal.
Ostrowski:
Represent the 'average citizen'
My name is Jerry
(Gerald) Ostrowski and I am throwing in my hat for Peachtree City Council
Post 4. Let me tell you some basics about myself.
Fritz:
'My only agenda is the people's business'
My name is Carol
Fritz, and I am running for reelection to Post 4 of the Peachtree City
Council. This is my first letter to the editor. Why? Because over the
past four years I have chosen to spend my time working for our fine
city rather than writing about it. When you elected me, you got a full-time
representative in what is billed as a part-time position.
Weed:
Thanks, Steve
I am writing in
response to mayoral candidate Steve Brown's letter of support of my
campaign for Post 4 City Council.
Faulkner:
Mayor, city manager 'deliberately ignored' open meetings laws, controlled
info
As much as I want
to win this election, I'm not going to play political games and say
or do whatever it takes to win. I'd rather be elected as a candidate
who speaks her mind and follows her conscience because that is who I
am and how I intend to represent you on City Council.
Rapson
has history of service to kids, public
I don't usually
write letters to newspapers, [but] I felt lead to write and give some
information on one of the candidates running for Peachtree City Council
Post 3, Steve Rapson.
Rapson
is a leader, both 'real' and 'reachable'
As you are all aware,
leadership is an essential part of both business and personal lives.
Without leadership based on sound fundamental principles and integrity,
our form of government cannot earn the respect of its constituents nor
effectively manage the necessary day to day operations that we so often
take for granted, especially here in Peachtree City.
Not
the same Waits . . .
My name is Andrew
Waits and I own Waits Hearing Aid Center. There is no relationship between
myself and the Andrew Waits, the flight instructor, who was recently
arrested [and charged in connection with the buzzing of the Fayette
County Fair].
We
do, too, have causes
I couldn't help
responding to Monroe Roark's column about our generation (I'm 34, too)
finding "a cause."
Letter
telling immigrants to conform to U.S. culture provokes outrage
Every community
has its Jekyll and Hyde . . .
U.S.
founded by immigrants
I am appalled by
the narrow-minded tone of a recent letter to the editor on immigrants
(Frank Hyde, Oct. 3).
Americans
must make a choice: Will we be safe, or free?
Over the past three
weeks I have watched my fellow Americans come together during the most
tragic event in my short life. I watched millions of people all over
the world came together to send money, food, and medical supplies to
the great city of New York. I watched as Americans once again fell in
love with the idea of America by hanging flags everywhere they could
be displayed and by attending church in record numbers.
Chuckleheaded
letters point out our freedom
Two letters you
published in last week's Citizen initially saddened me. These were from
Jeff Czysz ("Thanks, tree huggers") and Frank Hyde ("Coming
to America?").
