Hey this is Dennis. I understand that Obamacare is law. So implement it. So why all the delays? Implement it and see if it works. If it is unworkable, change it. Anything can be changed.
Ask any Native American. If it works, it should work for all people. If I had nine children, is it right to tell six children that you'll abide by Obamacare, but tell three children, you're exempt. You three do not have to abide by Obamacare.
That does not seem fair. Apply it across the board to all people and see if it works. God Bless you and have a good day.

Yes, it's a disgrace that nobody can answer you of the meeting last night with chief of Police Morgan, Sheriff Morgan, whatever. The thing is, so sad Pensacola is going downhill. I know I wasn't too happy when I lived there, but Now, it's worse.

Hi, this is Jane. I'm speaking out against fox hunting. It's bad enough that their habitat is destroyed by companies that buy up land and build lots of houses. I see in the Gazette that even a church group is participating in fox hunting. There must be some more wholesome activities for them. I protest against fox hunting and the use of dogs to do so. Thank you for this opportunity.

Hello, I am a paraprofessional for Santa Rosa County School. Our Santa Rosa Professional Educators, they're going into their fourth time to go into the school board to try and get this money that the governor has put out, but our superintendent does no want to let go of it. I do believe we all need this money.
We're asking for $1,800 for each employee. That's education support personnel and teachers. It seems that our superintendent does not want to give out the money to anybody. So this is going to go back to the Department of Education.
I don't think this is fair. I do believe if Mr. Wyrosdick had my bills to pay, and I'm struggling to feed my family and pay the bills, I think he would come off his butt and do this. I think—-our governor can put that money where his mouth is, why can't our superintendent do the same thing?
I am already upset. I have had teachers talk to me, and they're ready to quit their jobs and work at Wal-Mart to make more money. We're not making any money. Okaloosa and Escambia County got their money. Why can't we get our money?
Thank you for listening to me. I hope the public people will know what's going on with our superintendent. Thank you, bye.

Hi, this is Al. This is in response to Denise. My son had similar problems, no job, no money and eye problems. Call the Center for Sight. If he's lucky, he can get there. Dr. Allman, he is the most fantastic surgeon around. I was able to watch my whole son's operation. It means the world of difference to him and his welfare. Thank you and good luck.

Thank you Press Gazette for the opportunity to always speak what's on my mind or my opinion. I'd like for white America to start paying more attention to some of the hurt and harm they do, still do, to people of color. I stay on this issue because it's always ongoing. Watch the Jackie Robinson movie. Think about what you watch when you see it. Just pay attention to what's being said and the outcome of it. All it was, was the opportunity needed for a man of color to make a difference in the world. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Yes, this is Barbara. I read in the Press Gazette where the public is demanding a new courthouse. I was just wondering, how about the jail behind the courthouse? That is a newer building and they could open that up to the offices.
Santa Rosa County needs to start saving quite a bit of money instead of putting money into this and that, because of the way the crisis is right now.
I just think it would benefit everyone, instead of building a new courthouse, open up the opportunity of the offices that we have behind the courthouse. Turn them into like cubes and offices. This would shorten the lines in the courthouse a lot. Thank you.
