Lawton Town Crier

Just a thought…

As I sit here contemplating about how things are going in the United States, I am troubled by the thought that last night the House of Representatives, showed us that they are nothing more than a bunch of Socialist.   The passing of a 2,000 page National Health Care bill, that no one could have possibly read before it was voted on, shows that those who voted on it are at the least not doing their job and at the most not upholding their oaths of office.

As unhappy as I am about the way Congress is acting, I am encouraged to see a good political race shaping up here locally.

Now, I thought about holding off telling you about two new additions to this website, but I think that things will progress faster if you know about them.  The first is an election website to help inform you about the issues, and candidates for the local elections.  That website is http://2009.lawtontowncrier.com .  The other is a forum for the people who visit this site, a place to talk and discuss the city.  That website is http://www.lawtontowncrier.com/forum .   The forum will require real names.  While I respect the desire for some to remain anonymous, there is a local forum that allows for anonymous speech.

I will be posting another blog post soon and some more Podcasts.  Until then, join me over in the forum so we can a healthy discussion about what is going on here in Lawton.

Thanks for stopping by!
