Where have all the polticos gone.............?

Throughout the saga that is this battle for life and future life in Chatham and Pittsylvania County, I have been amazed at how many of our local elected and appointed representatives have refused to take a stand.

At a rate of almost 100%, they have claimed "that they just don't know enough about the issue" to make a decision. We have constantly pointed out to them the ease of which information is available on the internet and from government files, if they would only make the effort.

We finally decided to bring the information to them. We arranged a Forum this past Saturday night at which both sides of the issue would be presented with an impartial moderator (a local pastor). We even arranged for a question and answer period with no conditions on the questions that could be asked.

After we arranged this information exchange, the moderator personally invited each and every member of the county Board of Supervisors. Additionally, we know that a town official made each and every Town Council member aware of the forum. Below is a list of all of the Supervisors and Council members who attended:
  1. Hank Davis----Supervisor, Chatham District
  2. George Haley--Mayor, Town of Chatham

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON WITH OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES?

Either they now have "educated" themselves on the issue and are fully ready to take a stand.................or....................They have no intention of taking a stand, no intention of doing the job they were elected to do, and a complete intention to dodge the issue at every opportunity.

I say we should....."THROW the RASCALS OUT" !

If they won't represent the PEOPLE'S INTERESTS, then let's find some who will, hold recall elections, and get real people's representatives elected!

JUST DO IT!!!!
