Speakout 6/11

This is to all the people who complain about the crop dusters and the burning of the fields. You like to eat don't you? The farmers have been doing this ever since I can remember. I'm in my late 20s. It doesn't hurt me and I don't complain about it. My dad used to work with farmers. It's a part of life, get over it. You want bugs in your salad? I don't. That's what the crop dusters are for. As far as burning the fields, get over it. It happens like twice a year. It's going to happen how much you gripe about it.

I know the Missouri debit card, because my sister and my grandmother has one. You can get food or cash with it. These are the cards that these Mexicans have and do use. It is not no bank card, I have a card from a bank. This is a Missouri debit card that you can get cash or food. If you've got $200 worth of food stamps, you can get $200 cash. I know what it looks like. Don't call SpeakOut and say it was a debit card from a bank. Us taxpayers are supporting illegal immigrants. Send a reporter to the stores to investigate for a week and put the findings in the paper. Call your government officials and tell them we are tired of putting up with this before they take over our country. I'm tired of my grandmother starving. By the time she pays her bills and medicine, she has $47 left. She weighs 100 pounds.

Keep inside, not out

Response to kids in the bar. The American Legion is a family oriented organization. The American Legion consists not only of Post 114 members, but also the Ladies Auxiliary, Junior Auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion members. When there are activities at the American Legion that involve the kids' participation, then the kids will be there. Numerous events are held at the post home that involve our younger members. If the kids were getting out of hand, then you should have took the right approach to this which should have been going through proper channels to get it taken care of. The proper channels being inside our club, not the newspaper. We have a wonderful organization and putting things like this in the newspaper, tarnishes it. The next time you experience something inside the club that you do not like or agree with, keep it inside the club and out of the newspaper. We do great things for the community, and our use in the community is what should be published, not this kind of stuff.
