This is Dennis.  The First Amendment protects freedom of speech. People in America are a variety of different views and opinions, different colors, ethnic groups with different perspectives. Do all of these people have the right to free speech? I say yes. I might not agree with what they say, but is what they say protected by our constitution? I say yes. Are they free to say what they believe without being persecuted? I say yes. I hope we don’t become a nation that free speech is okay for some people but not okay for others.

Wednesday 6:57 a.m.

I hope everyone is okay in Milton and the surrounding areas. I’m 73 years old and I’ve never seen a storm like that. I cried. You don’t know how safe you are and you cry. There is so much water around my house.

Wednesday 10:35 a.m.

This is Jesse from Pace. I want to let Joyce know my grandbaby’s grave is clean. My daughter in law and son take care of it. What I’m talking about is the old grave slabs who have no family, war heroes who don’t have anybody to clean them up. I’d like for to see a clean cemetery and for it to look better as you pass by on Highway 90. I care about the living and I care about the dead. I am disabled and I don’t know anyone out there but I see how bad the graves are and I’m trying to get some help to clean them up. I’m trying to help the community.
