Poplarville Library needs friends
Editor:
April was membership month for the Friends of the Poplarville Public Library. While the Friends group is always seeking new members, April is the month that the staff members at the library are allowed to actively promote membership in the Friends by asking patrons if they would like to join. Unfortunately, during the entire month of April only one new member joined the group.

Hales must have a problem with cutting spending
Editor:
Mr. Hales again purposes a county sales tax. Mr. Hales does not know how to use the words “cut spending”. He has voted for everything to increase spending over the past sixteen years. The cost of the county government is not the fault of the current new members of the board of supervisors.

Why are telemarketers with a personal agenda exempt from the “No Call List”?
Why are telemarketers with a personal agenda exempt from the “No Call List”?
I’m on the Mississippi ‘no call list’.
My family and I sat down to dinner last night at 7 p.m. (Oct. 17). At 7:10 p.m., we received a telephone call from a fast-talking, pro-life ‘Christian’ group saying they were call 33,000 Mississippians at the same time and that we were all in a live “town hall meeting” and, if we stayed on the line, we could ask questions. Of course, it turned out to be a pre-recorded call. My dinner got cold while I tried to figure out who was calling and to discover a way to delete my number from their calling list.

Shock and grief on 9-11
Editor:
I spent September 11, 2001, as much of the world did: on the Internet, sharing in the global outpouring of shock and grief. I will never forget the juxtaposition of the ruined skyscrapers against an appalling blue sky. Americans of all backgrounds queued to give blood, to donate, to enlist in an imminent war. Others sought ways to serve at home through national service.

Writer opposes Contraflow
Editor:
And to all officials that have to do with starting Contraflow traffic.
Do not, do not do Contraflow traffic. Let the people go on about their way, they know where they are going.

Anger over checkpoint
Editor:
Mississippi State Troopers had a roadblock/checkpoint set up at the intersection of Hwy 603 & Hwy 43 in Kiln on Saturday morning July 30. As my wife and I approached this check point we were not worried, as my Dodge Ram Pickup was in good running order with all proper documentation.

From a senior’s point of view:
Editor:
We the public (people) have been lied to and have no idea where our taxed monies have been spent. All could not have been spent on the wars.
First: the federal taxes paid in the years we worked; were to run the country. Or so I thought and with any luck some left over.

Why I am a member of the Democratic Party
In response to your article prior to the Primary Election about the demise of the Democratic Party in Pearl River County, I am a Democrat and proud to say so. Let me outline my reasons for being a member of this demonized party.
