In reply to John Campbell’s letter, “Where is protest of courthouse?”: Yes, John, I am very concerned, along with my husband so that makes three of us now. Don’t know why everyone isn’t. Our politicians are being bought up by the corporations. Who are they going to listen to? I don’t think we will matter at all unless we wake up and start paying attention to what is really happening — think “Hunger Games.” The sad thing is that we don’t get the true news anymore; it’s fluff. And the people we need to wake up do not read the newspaper and the letters to the editor. Those of us who do know that our country’s is in a deep downward spiral that we’d better pull out of soon, very soon. We desperately need new blood in our government and it certainly should not just be coming from the Clinton and the Bush families! You cannot convince me that in this whole, wide diverse country that is all we get to chose from! Anybody else concerned?
