Editor,

I am writing this letter to point out a major reason for all the frustration and anger within this community, as well as all over the United States. I have been talking about drug and alcohol abuse problems and this fits into that same agenda. We the people have again been sold out by the very people who claim to protect our constitutional rights. The hard working citizens of this country are going to pay the cost of Obamacare and we have been told it benefits all. The hard working young people are designed to have to pay for all those professional unemployed people who live in our communities and who for the most part milk the taxpayer all they can. Most of these people have nothing to do but get high and do that by whatever means necessary, including trading food stamp benefits or whatever they can get to do it. Why did you vote for this law called Obamacare? We have again been sold out and it won’t be long before it extremely raises the anger of good citizens. I have been saying the only way to make changes is to start holding people — including our government — accountable, and you can’t do it while sitting in your chair or on a bar stool or in a dope house getting high. I commend the person who called in the DUI after an intoxicated person came into their workplace. This is the sort of thing the people can and should do. It’s the only way to stop the ongoing loss of our constitutional rights.
