Sunday, 4:46 p.m. Hello, this is for the driver on Dogwood Drive. When you drive up to the church at 90 miles per hour and then turn in. Please take time to pray for the soul you just killed.
Sunday, 4:32 p.m. Hello this is Monica. I live in the Skyline area and I applaud the officer who beats traffic getting onto Dogwood as well as the two across the street watching people just go by. By the way if you must go down the road at 100 miles per hour, please at least turn your lights on.
Sunday, 9:56 a.m. W.O. Jones, Jay area here. I have some information for the devotees of FOX News and the master Republican Party as well as Nat. Geo, which is reportedly owned by FOX. They are putting on a program just two days before the election praising Obama that was put together by a big Obama supporter. If you are not getting it anyway just see the program praising Obama the Obama supporter and bow down to them.
Sunday, 8:23 a.m. This is Gene from Pace. There was something Hillary said about Obama not being ready to make the calls if he was called in the middle of the night. Well this Administration got the call and four American people got killed. The Commander and Chief should of had the gust to make the call. This is pathetic. Nancy Pelosi told us to pass the bill and see what is in it and put him in office and see what he can do. We put him in office and it ain't pretty.
Sunday, 8:19 a.m. I don't understand all this bigotry talk and all of this talk about hatred towards the president. We are not racially bigots. No body is. The president promised he would cut the deficit in half and he has almost doubled it. He said unemployment would be less than or at five percent. Well there are 23-million unemployed and many of those have quit looking. Today there are 47-million on food stamps and now they pay more out in welfare than they do social security. Wake up America. Welfare recipients, legal or illegal, get over $1-trillion a year. People need to quit playing the race card and elect a president that will do what they said and put America back on track.
Saturday, 5:51 p.m. Hi this is Chris. I want to remind everyone about these people we elect when we vote. If they don't attend the meetings and voting days then we should cut their paychecks. If doesn't mater who elected them, if they can't be there and do their job they shouldn't have the job. Remember that on voting day.
Saturday, 4:55 p.m. This is Bobby. I have got a message for all the whiners about the Avalon Service Road. If they have a problem where their cars are getting torn all to pieces then they don't have much of a car or they are driving too dang fast. A lot of people live on dirt roads or do not have paved roads, do you hear them whining? The people who live in Harold had to play thousands of dollars a year to get their road paved. So you don't have it too bad.
Saturday, 6:28 a.m. I have a few thoughts about lazy people. The tax deadline is April 1 yet people wait until the last minute and the post office has to stay open so they can be postmarked by midnight. The motor voter people have no problem driving to get their license, yet they can't make the effort go to the elections office to register to vote. Then there is early voting, but they can't get there so they get an absentee ballot. If you can drive to get a drivers license then you drive to register to vote.
Friday, 10:37 p.m. Hello. Lauren Wilkerson said on a program Friday night that the Republicans have more bigotry in them than anything. They don't want President Obama in power not because of his conscience, but because of the color of his skin. The White American Republicans are full of anger and stupidity. All this race stuff just proves to you Jim Crow might be dead, but Bubba Crow is alive and well. That is a Tea Party without sugar.
Friday, 10:04 a.m. Hi this is Ron. For all the people who live around the new off road riding trail in the area of Whiting Field Circle, Bluebird Trail, and Coldwater area on both sides need to email or write the Department of Forestry in Tallahassee and the District 3 County Commissioner that it needs to stop. We all love this area and don't need dirt bike noise and traffic. This is why it was stopped in East Milton and it needs to stop here.
Friday, 6:45 a.m. I was reading the Press Gazette about the Avalon Service Road and the Editor's note you left to reference the drop offs that need fixing. What the state told you was not true. They were gone weeks before the storm came. This is another one of their lies in this big mess they have created. Thank you.
Thursday, 2:53 p.m. This is Fran. I would like to speak to every Christian. We have only one choice in the presidential election. Romney has Christian values. Listen to the difference in choices. Obama has bashed everything we Christians stand for. Pastor please bring it to your congregations attention. Seek God's advice on this. Thank you.
Thursday, 1:02 p.m. Student failed drug test? Homecoming party bus? If a student athlete is found to of not passed a drug test then a one-year suspension of all sports should be imposed on the Athlete. All student athletes should be held to the same standards. This starts with the Santa Rosa Administration.
Thursday, 11:42 a.m. Would greatly appreciate it if a deputy would post up by the Fleet Reserve to catch all the drunk drivers coming out of there on any given night.
Thursday, 10:18 a.m. I would like to know why the Santa Rosa Press Gazette has not printed an article yet about Milton High School's Football program being suspended for the rest of the football season. I heard the homecoming queen was also stripped of her title, and she and every player on the team tested positive for alcohol and was suspended 5 – 10 days from school. From what I heard, the players and homecoming queen were drinking alcohol on the school bus on the way home from the Ft Walton Beach game.
