PICAYUNE —
Editor:
President Obama knows the message November 3 said, but he is not deterred from implementing his agenda through agencies and bureaucratic appointees. The name czar for some of these appointees does not fit in with the lexicon of American liberties. I canot fathom why there is a constitutional right of agencies and unelected officials to have the power of Congress. If this is not challenged, nullified, and stopped our liberties will vanish and the execution will wield totalitarian control over our lives.
Actions of executive overreach in the last two years are many. The EPA is imposing regulations which will greatly increase costs to businesses and individuals, limiting our trading competitiveness and further taxes all of us.
The moratorium on oil field production, and licensing was politicized and decreased our energy supplies, killed thousands of jobs, and raised prices. The FCC’s ruling for net neutrality is a step toward government control of the internet.
The Department of Education is proposing abolishing what they call niche programs such as civics, history, and constitutional studies. Our students; knowledge of our true history and our constitutional government is already deficient.
These actions thumb their nose at Congress and any semblance of fiscal responsibility and the consequences on to the lives of all Americans. When the president give lip service to our concerns we should be aware that his beliefs and intentions have not changes.
Sincerely,
Patricia W. Wilkes

Never in the history of our nation has a president been reelected who has caused 23 million unemployed, 6 trillion of debt and a certainty that his policies will continue on steroids. Economics 101 would refute these policies. He told his followers to “vote for revenge.”

Butler Now contract raises questions
Dear Editor:
The new contract with Butler Snow creates many unanswered questions. First, after pleading poverty before and during the budget hearings, why is it necessary to spend over $450,000 dollars to hire a firm to do what we already pay the supervisors to do? It’s obvious that the taxpayer was the least considered party to this one-sided contract. Once again, the supervisors have validated one of the 5 characteristics of government. “The few who pay taxes are simply a source of revenue to fund the socialist policies of politicians and their politically connected cronies.” -

Editor;
I had long feared that Obama would be reelected to a 2nd term due to his policies that inordinately benefitted and increased the size of the dependency class -— who would then overwhelmingly vote for him. -

Editor;
Gene Lyons is a master of inneundo and obfuscation as illustrated in his column in the August 30th Item. He starts off by intimating that Mitt Romney lies a lot and then cites 2 probable lies and 1 direct accusation of lying. That’s a total of 3. -

Editor:
Was the reverse 911 used to warn county residents about the flooding danger. I experienced this first hand at 2:30 a.m. while bringing my wife to work in Picayune. I started to investigate and get the word out to media outlets and the only one to pick up on this was WGNO TV in NOLA. - More Letters Headlines
