Received today on

Truth really needs no defense! -jsq

I’m glad GBR spoke up for Sam Allen. The VDT article falsely stated
that he had changed his mind about VDT support between Tuesday night &

we are to go home, never ask questions, never complain, & never comment
until it is time to vote again. The common consensus is we are not capable
of understanding what our elected/appointed officials are doing so we
need to stay out of the process totally. This is nanny state government
via local venues. We the people are reduced to you the unendowed &
unimportant. John – Our political views are usually polar opposites,
but we are always 100% agreed on shinning the light on government
black-outs. Keep up the good work.

about jail deaths.
