Wake up people before it’s too late. Where’s a cop when we need them. Well, tax dollars are spent foolishly someplace else. Government should be run like our home. If you don’t have the money, don’t write the check. We have the oil, technology, the power in numbers so let’s demand it stays here or we all stay put. Let them know we mean it. They’re nothing without us. Remember, home first. God bless us all. Frontier increase petitions Letters to the Editor Illinois Valley News welcomes Letters to the Editor.

Well, I don’t see the problem. We have plenty of oil. Is oil the reason for the wars we continue to lose? Not to mention how many men and women who put their lives on the line for this country only to be treated unfairly. When our vets return wounded, crippled or mental, they should be 100% cared for, including their family, for the rest of their life. I say bring our troops home and protect our borders. And when we are attacked or threatened, quit screwing around and go after the intruders and bring them to military justice, without political bs. Including the druggies. Let’s quit the poor this, poor that. Don’t tell me we can’t find Bin Laden. That’s another lie. Home first. Quit spending our money on bs. Lottery: As I recall the vote for the lottery was a vote to finance schools for better education in Oregon. Not state parks! More money down the drain. Government, government, government. They’re way too big. We’re being treated like small children. Let’s quit driving for a while. Don’t use your lights, etc. And watch a miracle pop up, like lower prices at the pump and at the light switch. The government is supposed to be looking out for us, but people seem to think we can’t control them, but we can. We all need to stand up and make it happen. If we don’t become part of the solution, we become part of the problem. Remember, they need us. And when we quit, then they’ll listen. Budgets, Less Spending, Cuts: It’s really simple… If you don’t have the money, don’t write the check! Buy and spend on what you need first, save what you have left (if any). Save for the rainy day. This is old-fashioned, but it works. Servers at restaurants, lounges, etc. are told that government taxes are based on a percentage of what you should have received on your shift. What right does I.R. S. or anyone have to tell a server they’re to pay taxes on their tips. People, wake up, are you scared of them? Don’t be, I’m not. Stand up and be accounted before it’s past too late. Change? Yeah… from bad to much worse. Beginning with this so-called president and the entire Congress. And let us not forget the lobbyists. “Money mongers”. They’re a bad joke. Wake up people, vote them out now! Again, as it was and should always be, “We the people” because together we stand, divided we fall. We’re all in this crap and lies together. And if it’s going to change for us and for the better, we must stand together, like it or not. It’s the only way. Question…why do most protests begin in the East? Why not here in the West. It seems to me that we have a better range of thinking about what’s good for everyone. But the West seems to be the followers. Let’s lead the pack. Let’s get together. Let’s quit driving unless it’s necessary. I know it will hurt but look what’s coming. A freight train. I’ve heard more times that protesting doesn’t do any good. Also why vote. Or do you like to just do what you’re told. Sound familiar? Not standing together is what got us in this mess in the first place. It has to start some place. Why not here? Remember, if we’re not part of the solution, then we’re part of the problem. We’re being regulated to death. Turn your lights off, don’t drive until you have to. Grow your own garden, it’s fun, and good food too. Individually and/ or groups, protest in public places. Choose freedom, not slavery. You may be surprised who will join you. Have you seen the bums in the valley relieving themselves out in public? Well, I have, and done something about it. How about you? What about our children, grandchildren seeing that too? We don’t have to allow that filth in our valley. What kind of message is that to our visitors too? We have the ultimate power to stop all of this bs. Wake up America. Let’s get our house in order. Sending our jobs overseas is just plain stupid. Bring the jobs back home to put us back to work. Keep our tax dollars here. Home first. And bring our troops home. Protect all of our borders. Take care of our vets. Men and women put their lives on the line for our freedom. The money sent over there should be for the wounded, and should be cared for, for the rest of their life including their family. Think Ken LeGaux Selma Crosswalk Petition Thank you for all the support on the crosswalk from Taylor’s and Dairy Queen, it is working. I have received phone calls and e-mails from ODOT on this matter. Now Cave Junction has a petition which I received 4 p.m. on April 21 that has to be submitted by 4 p.m. on April 27. As of April 25, 2011, I have more than 40 signatures. The petition is at the Red Barn Laundromat. Help Cave Junction to be heard – phone ODOT at 541- 774-6299 for a safer crosswalk and thanks. I received my Frontier’s proposed 7.9% “Residential access line rate increase notice” letter last month. If a review is not requested by 500 or at least 10% of Frontier’s customers the rate increase will become effective on May 18, 2011 without a review. We, who oppose this must submit signed petitions to the Public Utility Commission of Oregon on or before May 8, 2011 to request the commission to review and hopefully deny Frontier’s rate request. There are petitions circulating throughout Illinois Valley; in Cave Junction: at Century 21 Harris & Taylor at 103 N. Redwood Hwy., or Southern Oregon Outreach Foods (SOOF) at 193 South Caves Ave.; in Selma: Lake Selmac Resort, Mary’s Mini Mart, Selmac Auto Service, GP Hardwoods Plus or call Jim at 541-471-4942 for copies. My Frontier bill includes numerous other charges and fees totaling over 41% of my total bill each month, to add another 7.9% not in this current economy, and not with the level of service Frontier is currently providing.
