Speak Out – July 24, 2013

Friday — 4:24 p.m.

This is Mary, a concerned citizen. The president, and I only refer to him as his title in respect of the highest officer of the United States.

He just stated on the news that Trayvon Martin could have been him in his younger days. I didn't know the president was a school dropout, always in trouble and smoked pot. Did you? The president should not, I say, should not be taking sides, nor be involved in any way. He should represent all the people of the United States.

The court system is just and fair. They determined that Zimmerman was not guilty and the case closed. Why don't they leave it alone? Zimmerman was doing his job. What was Martin doing out in that area? Did he react in that way because he was caught in mischief. Think about it.

Friday — 7:16  p.m.

Yeah, I was just wondering if the Press Gazette would print the names of the companies that are working, or supposed to be, but not working on Avalon Boulevard. Especially the bridge builders. I'd just like to know who these losers are.

Oh, and by the way, the state needs to change the signs. They say completion, summer of 2013—that's not possible. Maybe summer of 2015, at the rate they're going.

Saturday — 7:36 a.m.

I am very disappointed in the man in the white house. He should have done more to douse the flames, the fury. But, he put the gas on the flames. For a president to say things and ignite and divide is horrible. Thank you.

Saturday — 10:33 a.m.

Yeah, this is Charles. I sure wish the governor or some of his staff would try to drive down Avalon boulevard when it's raining. This is the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen in my life. I think my five-year-old grandson could have done a better job trying to engineering this project. Thank you.

Saturday — 10:38 a.m.

Hello, this is Bob. I would like to express an opinion. I'm tired of whining republicans that want my money, while they do nothing about the president that violates our constitution, allows his paid liars and thugs to commit federal crimes. When will republicans wake up and stand up for truth and honesty. Get organized and win respect from the taxpayers that put them in office. Thank you very much. Have a good day.

Saturday — 1:36 p.m.

Hi, good afternoon, this is Joyce from Milton. I'm reading the Saturday Press Gazette.

I love the article that you put in there for your opinion, Your View, Let's Play Nice. That means so much if people would listen to what you say.

But I would also like to tell people about a little antique shop called Boomerang Antique on Willing Street. That's right next to the Imogene Theatre. It is an awesome little place and they have wonderful homemade fudge. Just stop in there one day and browse. You will be surprised at how much quality products they carry and how big that place is. It's wonderful. Thank you and once again thank you for Let's Play Nice.

Saturday — 5:04 p.m.

Hello, this is Dennis. We live in an evil world. God created all human kind. Black, white, yellow and brown. They are all precious in his sight. There is good and bad no matter what skin color you are. Bad people do bad things and their skin color can vary. All you have to do is watch the local news. So I encourage everyone to stop the racist talk. Thank you.

Sunday — 7:08 a.m.

Hey, this is Dennis. I believe the big oil companies are tired of waiting on a hurricane for an excuse to raise prices on gas at the pump. Let the price gouging begin.
