We are concerned citizens of North Carolina who fully support the efforts of the legislators of the House and Senate who are working to make Erin's Law a reality in North Carolina. We support this endeavor because to empower children with knowledge that will prevent them from becoming victims of sexual molestation is both right and responsible.

The ignorance of cramming pigs in gestation crates so they cannot move, turn around, have to stand 24/7 every minute for the rest of their lives.

Wall Street banks have cost the citizens of the United States trillions of dollars through fraud, corruption and the forgery of documents. We object to any attempt to settle such vast losses at the meager amounts of 20 - 25 billion dollars and demand that State Attorneys General join forces with the Federal Government to demand the following: 1) Not to grant civil or criminal immunity to those mortgage servers who have been complicit in these vast losses; 2) Provide a full investigation along with the Federal Government into all of the facts surrounding this matter; 3) Determine and provide financial settlements which represent true, accurate and appropriate compensation based upon the extent of harm to all victims.

On June 5, 2023, Zeeland Public Schools released the calendar for the 2023/2024 school year. Many families and staff were surprised to see that 6 additional half days off and 2 additional full days off were added to the 2023/2024 school year to allow time for teachers to complete Professional Development. With this new calendar students will have 23 half days and only 12 regular weeks (5 full days) of school, for the entire 2023/2024 school year. Parents and families will need to make arrangements for their students every other Friday from September through May. Not only is this a large burden on families, but it's also a disservice to our students. They will lose a total of 64 hours, or more, of classroom time in one year. Over the course of an entire K-12 education, a ZPS student would receive a full year less of education than the students at the surrounding districts. There are so many other negative effects that this schedule will have including how Tech Center students will be impacted and how much further behind children who have specials/electives on Friday afternoons will be than their peers in those classes. In addition, families that need to pay for childcare or take time off of work for these days will endure an additional $1,000 - $2,500 expense per year. Working parents will have less availability to volunteer for school activities and field trips due to the need to save their time off for the additional half days.

Don't limit free speech. Facists dictate what can be said, when it can be said, and how it can be said. People who support Democracy allow for free speech. You decide what kind of America you want to have. You decide what kind of Sacramento you want to have.

***URGENT** **TIME SENSITIVE** Many of you may have seen this video, as the Property meeting from last Friday has nearly 475 views. But this seems to be our only viable option to NOT tear down the hospital, and save the taxpayers money. Have you looked at the asbestos study I shared earlier this week? I'm sure remediation to tear down will not be cheap. The Impact 7 option is no longer interested in the building as housing, regardless of the County's interest. (Which I get, as a majority they didn't have anyway.) However, there is this option that Marty Reynolds spoke about at the Property Committee and has written about as a Letter to the editor (look in comments for a copy of the letter) to sell the building to the state to be used for homeless veterans. This is a compelling case. And one we have little time to act on. Many people like to say so-and-so company got told the city isn't interested in your business coming here. Which is pretty ridiculous when considering what little we have here as a customer base, ie. Arby's, Wagreens, etc. But years from now, when the board has changed hands maybe multiple times and some membets have passed on, my kids and your kids are going to remember when our County Board said no to saving us money as taxpayers, no to housing families, and NO TO HOUSING HOMELESS VETS. We will remember. And we won't have have case to wonder why youth with dreams leave this place and never look back. Our county leaders don't want progress here- right now, at this time. I'm not sure if they want the easy way out or they have a secret plan in place to give someone a really sweet deal at our expense. But I will tell you this. All I ever hear is how much this community loves the veterans. Well, it's time to put your money where your mouth is and tell this county board to ACT- and act FAST. You do not have time to sit around and contemplate this. Watch the video and read the letter. Contact Marty Reynolds if you have questions. Message this page for contact info. Email us.make phone calls. Contact your friends. But...we need the public to tell this board to say YES to veterans needing housing! Say YES to the opportunity to save the taxpayers money. Say YES to bringing people to our workforce. Say YES to progress in this County. Our kids will remember. And this decision to tear down and say no to the two good options we've had, let's young people know Rusk County is not a place looking to improve it's own situation. The state is looking for an empty building with enough rooms with bathrooms, along with other criteria. Do you think other buildings probably have asbestos? I would think most definitely. Let's not get bogged down in costs to rehab (they're not looking to rehab much, I'm sure), or the building having asbestos. Let's demand the County get this RFI sent out and let the state decide if they'd like it or not. What do we stand to lose? In my mind, the board loses because it has to be willing to reverse course. And this board is willing to cut off its nose to spite its face. However, we all deserve better. Our kids deserve better. Veterans deserve better! And to quote Marty Reynolds, "Rusk County has an opportunity to put real meaning into the adage, 'If you Love your Freedom, Thank a Vet'." I call you to ACTION. Go forth, and let's make it so! Call your board supervisors and others. I'll put the link in the comments to the page with all county contact info. I wouldn't suggest email at this point. This is time sensitive, and a number of members can't or don't access their own emails. CALL TODAY! comment on this post. Trust me, MANY local leaders are watching. The board will most like need a special meeting to approve this RFI to be sent out! BUT where there's a WILL there is a WAY! Hospital to Veteran's Housing! May it be so!
