First, I am responding to a letter written by Phillip A. Cooper in Castlewood, Va. I would like to commend him for his views. Mr. Cooper you are just right. Untold thousands of voters sold out their freedom for change. The same thing happened here in North Carolina. But there is still time to correct this government takeover. Barack Obama can be removed from office if the voters come to their senses.
Second, I would like for you to know something about myself. My next birthday will be 90 years. I started reading the Herald Courier when I was 12 years old. My mother died when I was 18 months old, due to the flu epidemic. My father, like most people, lost everything in the 1929 crash. We were fortunate we had our home. My father could not send us to school, but encouraged us to read the paper every day. I also sold the newspaper on the streets in Bristol every afternoon. I paid 1 cent for the paper and sold them for 3 cents. A lot of people gave me a nickel. I usually made around 90 cents per day.
I am a veteran of Pacific war and moved to North Carolina for a better job. I still subscribe to the Herald Courier.
We have elections this fall and again in 2012. If every one will go and vote, we can get our country back.
