Change the name
Dear Editor,
Don't you think we should change the name of Washington, DC (District of Columbia) to Washington, CM (Chicago Machine)?
Under this administration, they have passed legislation in the dark of night and on Christmas Eve. They have closed-door meetings in the White House after hours with no members of the opposition party nor even one journalist in attendance. This is in direct violation of the privacy act. Obama says the administration is not accountable.
These practices are extremely secretive, all from a president who promised on the campaign trail the "most open administration ever." He even promised he would post all bills on the internet so that all citizens could read them.
Instead, even the legislators themselves haven't read them.
It seems the more loudly citizens complain, the more secretive and hasty they become. How can we combat this?
We cannot. We can only contact our representatives, keep them aware of our concerns, and then when election time arrives, ask candidates if they will continue these secretive practices.

The government, the hard workers, and the down on their luck

Stick to the issues
It saddens me to see Betty Brown attempting to spread lies about her opponent being a district outsider. Lance Gooden was born and raised in Terrell and Betty knows this. Betty herself even briefly left the district to attend college before she dropped out and returned back to Terrell. Unfortunately, Betty continues to push this lie outside of Terrell, knowing that the folks in Lance’s hometown know better.
She should not try to distract voters from the real issue, her lack of effectiveness.
