The problem is not guns, the problem is MORALITY
Dear Editor,
All this hysteria about guns is ridiculous. The “experts” are talking in circles as they attempt to solve the tragedy. The problem is not guns, the problem is MORALITY. [Full Story »]

Thank you Secret Angels
Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Appling Community Connection Inc. volunteers, we would like to thank all of you Secret Angels out there who made Christmas possible for 400 children in Appling County. All the businesses who challenged their staff and then other businesses to do the same, all of the change you placed in Jingle Jars all over town, all of you who handmade gifts, collected toys, and did our secret shopping, the media who reminded the community of needy children, all of the organizations, individuals, banks, law enforcement, Middle GA Probation, corporations, clubs, schools, churches, and agencies who pulled together to coordinate this huge project. Some of you we will never know and you may never meet the families you served through the Secret Angel Toy project. However, you have been a blessing to many families and children and helped them have a very Merry Christmas! [Full Story »]

Some suggestions for improving Congress
By Lee H. Hamilton
A few weeks ago, the survey firm Public Policy Polling made headlines when it released a poll comparing Congress’s standing to a variety of unloved things. Respondents did prefer our national legislature to the ebola virus, but otherwise the news was grim: Americans, the survey suggested, have a lower opinion of Congress than of head lice, Genghis Khan, used-car salesmen, and root canals.

Prayer is the key!
Dear Editor and to the citizens,
Why are we so alarmed over what is happening in America? All we need to do is think of all the laws – man made. Man made laws; again I say. We must remember who is in control. God our Heavenly Father is. Some people are talking about gun control and what happened to those innocent little ones (children) and adults in Newport Connecticut. We have forgotten the choice man made a few years ago; he took prayer out of the schools. [Full Story »]

Gun Control – such a senseless an idea
Dear Editor,
I read the article by Dr. Miguel Faria printed and run on Dec. 30, 2012, indeed it was informative and interesting.
Let me use two subjects – guns and humans. Now, I am not very good with words or punctuation as you will see, but I will carry on. [Full Story »]

“Is this really America?”
Dear Editor,
I don’t want to sound insensitive concerning the twenty-six innocent people murdered at the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, however, it was very peculiar to see our President “breaking up” when talking about it. [Full Story »]

Questions business practices
Dear Editor,
I am proud to be born and raised in Baxley and to have served our country. I am also honored to read my name and the other family members on the Memorial Wall at the Courthouse. I have always thought of Baxley as a small community, where everyone was friends and people did not do other people wrong. Unfortunately, I now know that this is not true. [Full Story »]
