Obama isn’t the right choice
Editor:
Has anyone stopped to think and recognize the intelligence of McCain vs Obama? Each has had their chance to pick their VP running mate; someone they would hope to go to Washington as their advisor and potential stand-in President. McCain picked (Sarah) Palin, a real person who is an honest, knowledgeable, outgoing, down-to-earth commoner with intelligence and personality – and she is pretty, too! But who, what did Obama choose? (Joseph) Biden, a nothing has-been who lies and stumbles so well because he has so effectively practiced it for many, many years as a US Senator, particularly during the past eight Bush Years. Obama’s first Presidential (elect) decision and this is what he does – he blew it!! And you trust Obama to make rationale, intelligent decisions as President of the United States?

Hartselle
Hairdresser hangs up her shears
Editor:
The last 10 years I have had the privilege of working in the wonderful town of Hartselle in a barber shop on Main St. called Van’s. I have hung up my clippers and my husband and I are off on the next adventure in our lives starting in LaPlace, La. I would like to thank all my loyal customers for their business this past decade, you will never realize how much I appreciate you all. Bob White thanks for retiring so I could have your chair! Van, thanks for taking a chance on me, you were the best boss in the world! Annette and LeighAnn, I will miss y’all. Please continue to visit this fine barber shop on Main St. Van is renovating and when I come back to visit I can’t wait to see the transformation. Thanks again for a wonderful 10 years Hartselle!!

These petitions are generally all over the city. The only business approached who would not allow a petition to be placed in their facility was The Pig Stand. Every one else approached was very helpful in this matter. Please go to one of the following businesses today and sign this petition. If you do not see the petition then ask for it because it is there. A vast majority of our citizens want an elected school board but many on the council and the mayor do not want to give up the power to appoint. Nationwide,96 percent of the school boards are elected along with Morgan County and Decatur. These two are also elected by districts.
