Mike Dallas for the right-on letter.

Onions to…

those just having extra volunteers and a free day to give vaccines all willy nilly, I sure hope you’ve thought about the return visit in 21 days?

the fire department for leaving your area on mutual aid runs with equipment that should remain in your area in case of an emergency at home.

equity over equality.

the mail carrier putting a big rut all along my yard on Lowell Road.

those admitting and making excuses for attending the seditious insurrection at the Capitol, hoping to avoid arrest.

the former federal elected official who told the lie that the system is rigged and now acting surprised that people believed it.

conservatives becoming what they hate.

the federal elected official’s abuse of executive orders.

drivers who don’t know how to alternate in a two lane drive-thru.

people who are still whining about the previous federal elected official.

the federal elected official who has previously stated we need consensus not executive orders which is the way of dictators.

the former federal elected leader and others who sparked the violence and are costing us big dollars for security.

voicing opinions about the former elected official inciting insurrections but silent when other officials have said much worse things hoping it actually happens.
