LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Root cause: Column
motivated by anti-Jew feeling
Re: Editor Cal Beverly's column,
“A suggestion on whom not to vote for in
PTC” [The Citizen Review, Oct. 29]:
Faith in PTC voters was
restored by election
My faith in the voters in
Peachtree City was restored during the election on
Nov. 2. Not only did they turn out in higher numbers
than usual (almost 30 percent of registered voters),
they cast their ballots to firmly say NO to
annexation and NO to continued high-density
development. Finally, the quality of life in our city
took precedence over the huge profits of a select
few. The majority has spoken, and developers should
beware.
Congratulations to all
winners at Northgate H.S.
I would like to congratulate
Northgate High School on its first ever Homecoming.
Mayor's duty is also to
represent non-voters
To Mayor Bob Lenox: As an
elected official you do not have the right to chose
which voice of the public you listen to; it is your
sworn duty to hear all commoners' cries. After all
opinions have been considered, then and only then
must you make your decision. Your decision, if be you
a loyal American, should be influenced by the common
man's desires. If politicians such as you had
complete control over the government (God forbid!),
the effects would be cataclysmic. This great American
Empire (yes, Empire) and all of its promises of
freedom, gifts of human equality, and cornucopias of
plenty would go marching backwards into the past.
Back to monarchical rule. Back to religious
persecution. Back to that horrifically funny ideal of
Divine Right.
