On July 5, 2010 the Valdosta Daily Times once again addressed why Valdosta City Council traveled to the Georgia Municipal Associate Convention in Savannah. This 4-day convention reportedly costs up to $1,500 per person all of which was paid for by tax payers. Mayor John Fretti proposed ordinance that would have limited travel for council members who know they would be leaving office. However the ordinance was defeated by the majority of council members by a vote of 6-1.
Why did the Times only publish the views of Mayor Fretti and Councilman Eunice? Our community would have been better served had the editor interviewed all council members as to why they rejected the mayors proposed ordinance. By omitting their views citizens are once again left deaf, dumb, and blind on this issue.
A great philosopher once said, no one has to argue or fight over a dirty glass of water just set a clean glass of water up beside it and let the people choose for themselves. Or is their more surrounding the Mayor's proposed ordinance than meets the eye?
The article also said; “When county officials make hard sacrifices the city appears self-serving. But there is another saying which says; “that when truth comes into the minds of those that seek truth falsehood must vanish and that falsehood is forever a vanishing thing.
Please do the interviews and give the people the hard-core facts so they can choose for themselves between the dirty glass and the clean glass of political water. God Bless!

Valdosta Tea Partiers Brews Up Storm In Valdosta, (VDT), Liberty, Justice, Constitution Being Shredded and More!
July 5, 2010
The headlines in the Valdosta Daily Times read; “Tea Party Brews up storm in Valdosta,” (July 3, 2010) “on court house lawn… and “a lot of people are intimidated by government”: (1) “when the people are afraid of government you’ve got tyranny.”
If true! This proves that Blacks lived under tyranny and were afraid of both small and big government under which they were labeled 3/5th of a human being under slave laws plus denied their constitutional rights for centuries. So where were the Tea Partiers then?
The article further stated; (2) “When the government is afraid of the people you got LIBERTY.” Again if true segregationists had the government afraid to honor its own constitution in regards to equal treatment for Blacks. So did this (fear) mean LIBERTY for Whites only?
Did patriots, and Christians ignore the shredding of the constitution by small government when Blacks were taxed without representation, denied access to firearms, vote, denied free travel, freedom of religion without a white person being present, freedom of speech, forbidden from assembling in groups of more than five among many other violations of the Constitution.
It seems that the Tea Partiers should have taken a stand long before President Obama took office, and they should encourage the Valdosta Northern Station Post Office 31604 to display a picture of Obama in the facility. Since Valdosta is home of Moody Air Force Base, Wild Adventure, Kinderlou Golf Course, Valdosta State University, Wiregrass Technical College, Title Town USA, and the home to thousands of active duty and retired military veterans.

Wheels of Justice turns slow, Under Reported Jail Deaths, and Public Right to Know!
July 4, 2010
Today’s Valdosta Daily Times article (July 3, 2010) read “Slow wheels of justice, and where the 2009 murders stand in the courts.”
I commend the Times for the informative article and up date on violent crimes, and deaths that occurred in 2009. It was very timely, informative and greatly appreciated. However after three decades of omissions of the thirty or more jail deaths that has occurred in the Lowndes County Jail since 1994-July 2010 for whatever reasons. It is now time to give equal time and consideration to these unreported deaths.
http://cwodvdhotwire.blogspot.com/2010/06/jail-deaths-in-lowndes-county-jail-for.html
The Atlanta Journal and Constitution has reported on these deaths along with other news media and television outlets. However there seems to be a continuous practice and pattern to keep citizens deaf, dumb, and blind to what goes on in our beloved community.
And our faith based community should be outraged by this continued lost of human life with no end in sight. As former president of the local NAACP I have listened to parents, children and love ones express their desires not to have others go through the pain and suffering they endured.
Moreover I listened as they shared their sympathy for the victims of crime and while I agree with the Times that the “wheels of justice turns slow.” But that is no reason for the “wheel of reporting to stop” at the cost of keeping citizens ignorant to the lost of life in our community. God bless America.
