Americans united

As an American citizen and honorably discharged veteran of this great country, for the first time in my life I have concern about our well being.

When you have a man who is going to be our commander in chief and has little or absolutely no respect for our intelligence agency, it speaks for itself. A man who displays having more intelligence than anyone is a very one-sided dangerous situation. Unfortunately, he disrespects everyone who wears or has worn the uniforms of the services of this great country.

I speak as an American patriot, not as one labeled Democrat or Republican. I fought in the jungles of Vietnam and I was there as an American. I feel sorry for people who do not love this country or know her importance in the world. Our country should never be sold short by anyone.

In my opinion, when we label ourselves as one or the other, it divides us internally. We need to talk to all as Americans. One and united.

Texas communism

Is the rule of law important? The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department violates citizens' constitutional rights and the 1964 civil rights law. It discriminates against gun hunters by allowing archers to hunt 34 days before gun hunters. It has taxation without representation.

The parks and wildlife commission is appointed by the governor and never has to face the voters. The U.S. Constitution guarantees every state in the union a republican form of government.

It has used excessive tax to become the owner of more land than anyone in Texas. It charges to hunt on that land, pays no school or county tax.

Age discrimination is violation of the 1964 civil rights law. Its hunter education requires anyone born after Sept. 2, 1971, must have hunter education to buy hunting licenses. It violates hunter's right to hunt and Second Amendment right.

Wildlife and Parks has inspection authority; this is pure communism. If this is not enough, there is plenty more. It thinks it owns all wildlife resources and all water courses. The Constitution says no state shall, without the consent of Congress, keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, it has approximately 600 troops and gunboats on Mexican border.

Employee of the year

I would like your readers to know that Suzy Gillespie has been recognized as employee of the year at Longview Regional Medical Center.

She is the most caring person and treats each patient as if they were her only one there. She is not only a wife, mother and grandmother but also a mother- in-law. We all love her.
