			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Letter from one &#8220;Angry Woman&#8221;<br />
I don&#8217;t know who wrote it but they should have signed<br />
it. Some powerful<br />
words. This woman should run for president.<br />
Written by a housewife from New Jersey and sounds like it!<br />
This is one<br />
ticked off lady.</p>
<p>&#8220;Are we fighting a war on terror or aren&#8217;t we? Was<br />
it or was it not started<br />
by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September<br />
11, 2001?<br />
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not<br />
brutally murdered<br />
that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from<br />
our nation&#8217;s<br />
capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?</p>
<p>Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a<br />
horrible, burning or<br />
crushing death that day, or didn&#8217;t they?</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was<br />
&#8220;desecrated&#8221; when an<br />
overworked American soldier kicked it or got it<br />
wet?&#8230;Well, I don&#8217;t I don&#8217;t<br />
care at all.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in<br />
and repents for<br />
incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the<br />
Middle East start caring<br />
about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a<br />
crime in Saudi<br />
Arabia</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll care when these thugs tell the world they are<br />
sorry for chopping off<br />
Nick Berg&#8217;s head while Berg screamed through his<br />
gurgling slashed throat.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll care when the cowardly so-called<br />
&#8220;insurgents&#8221; in Iraq come out and<br />
fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion<br />
by hiding in<br />
mosques.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves<br />
up in search of<br />
nirvana care about the innocent children within range of<br />
their suicide .</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll care when the American media stops pretending that<br />
their First<br />
Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international<br />
law instead of<br />
the United States Constitution&#8217;s Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine<br />
roughing up an<br />
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I<br />
don&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners<br />
who have been<br />
humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident,<br />
rest assured: I<br />
don&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he<br />
is told not to<br />
move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to<br />
the bank: I don&#8217;t<br />
care.</p>
<p>When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a<br />
prayer mat, and<br />
fed &#8220;special&#8221; food that is paid for by my tax<br />
dollars, is complaining that<br />
his holy book is being &#8220;mishandled,&#8221; you can<br />
absolutely believe in your<br />
heart of hearts: I don&#8217;t care.</p>
<p>And oh, by the way, I&#8217;ve noticed that sometimes<br />
it&#8217;s spelled &#8220;Koran&#8221; and<br />
other times &#8220;Quran.&#8221; Well, Jimmy Crack Corn<br />
and-you guessed it-I don&#8217;t care<br />
!!</p>
<p>If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your<br />
E-mail friends.<br />
Sooner or later, it&#8217;ll get to the people responsible<br />
for this ridiculous<br />
behavior!</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t agree, then by all means hit the delete<br />
button. Should you<br />
choose the latter, then please don&#8217;t complain when more<br />
atrocities committed<br />
by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And<br />
may I add:</p>
<p>&#8220;Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if<br />
they made a difference in<br />
the world. But, the Marines don&#8217;t have that<br />
problem&#8221; &#8212; Ronald Reagan</p>
<p>I have another quote that I would like to add AND&#8230;&#8230;.I<br />
hope you forward<br />
all this.</p>
<p>&#8220;If we ever forget that we&#8217;re One Nation Under<br />
God, then we will be a nation<br />
gone under.&#8221; Also by.. Ronald Reagan</p>
<p>One last thought for the day:</p>
<p>In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the<br />
Anti-American<br />
sentiment and negativity, we should remember England &#8217;s<br />
Prime Minister Tony<br />
Blair&#8217;s words during a recent interview. When asked by<br />
one of his Parliament<br />
members why he believes so much in America , he said:<br />
&#8220;A simple way to take<br />
measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And<br />
how many want<br />
out.&#8221;</p>
<p>Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:<br />
1. Jesus Christ<br />
2. The American G. I.</p>
<p>One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.</p>
<p>YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,<br />
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.<br />
AMEN</p>

<p><![endif]-->Politicking should be a right not a privilege. Anyone wishing to place a sign in their yard, use their time to knock on doors, or voice their opinion about ANY candidate seeking an office through the electoral process, should not be interfered with. While on personal time or off duty no employer including governmental should have the right to restrict an employee from showing support for their candidate of choice. We should value the opinion of those who have had a working relationship with any candidate.</p>
<p>While at work or on duty employers should certainly have the right to restrict politicking in any way they see necessary. As long as it is fair and equal to all employees and candidates. If restrictions are allowed than ALL our governmental officials should be withheld from the process of endorsing or supporting any candidate.</p>
<p>If as an employee of a city, state or the federal government I am restricted from showing my support for a certain candidate this could also restrict my family from the process and should be viewed so unconstitutional as to be a legal issue.</p>
<p>Who best knows the candidates but for the individuals that has worked with them on a daily basis. If there is major support from the people that have worked with a particular candidate, it should be viewed as a positive. If as an employer / candidate you could not gain the support of your employees we should look at those candidates’ values very carefully.</p>

Still when I weigh all the talk, associations, promises and views regarding what one will do, John McCain&#8217;s perception of what can be accomplished seems much more attainable.</p>
<p>A total change would be great, if that change was good for the country. I do not like to see people go hungry, or have so many not able to afford health insurance for their family. This certainly is not the picture our grandparents and parents in-visioned. I also believe they never perceived government would be the cause or solution either.</p>
<p>The key word is &#8220;change&#8221; and I realize Senator Obama uses that word an awfully lot. More than the other candidates. I welcome a change, BUT this change has to be a wise change. Not just a phrase tossed around to offer us a false hope.</p>
<p>When candidates stretch or conviently forget facts, this becomes a very important issue. When one cannot take the time to research who freed which concentration camps, realize they had no uncles on their mothers side because she was an only child, was threatened by “sniper” fire, or that their daughter was really not running around the world trade center on Sept 11<sup>th</sup>, 2001 it becomes an issue. These are very important issues of integrity when you seek the most powerful office in the world. One never forgets or mistakes what sniper fire sounds like or how it feels to be in situation. <strong></strong></p>
<p>Most of us cannot remember who in our family did what exactly when, and we do get uncles mixed up with great uncles. But we are not seeking the most powerful position in the world. This is exactly what they are doing. I hope they are not seeking this position to better themselves, save a race, improve their status or just seek power. They are elected by us, the people, to represent us. Serve, protect and enforce the laws of this land.</p>
<p>Now which candidate has been the most honest?  Which of the candidates offers the best for this country that represents the majority?  Which of the candidates will best represent us the people and enforce the laws of the land.  It takes a very, very special person to a real politician. <span> </span>Our founding fathers were such, a rare breed.</p>
<p>The individual we elect will not change the course. Only we can do that. Maybe we should vote all in, out. Maybe then …</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find it very discomforting to realize that a person we elected to protect us has now made a decision that endangers all of us. When our community jail turns away individuals that are a threat to law abiding citizens.  We have a problem!</p>
<p>The issue they may sue is nothing but an excuse not to fulfill your sworn oath taken when elected. If any law enforcement officer risks their life to detain or arrest someone because they feel they are a risk to law abiding people and then to have the local jail refuse to confine that person it is beyond reason.</p>
<p>That only puts the risk back on the citizens that law enforcement is sworn to protect. So are we to now understand when a person arrested has a BAC of .25 or more are they refused confinement only to possibly cause an accident that could fatally injure an innocent person?</p>
<p>I also thought this was a community jail? Paid for by both city and county funds. If so, then why is the city not in the decision process?</p>
<p>Does this also mean if they arrest a known felon and that felon happens to have a BAC over .25 they will be turned away until a better day? If this is what the sheriff regards as protecting the people that elected him, I might be a bit concerned.</p>
<p>If there were more officials consulted and then condoned this process it did not appear so in the article. And if so then all blame cannot fall on the sheriff.  The individuals from the other counties do not count as they were not elected by anyone in this county.</p>
