Letter to the Mayor

Mr. Mayor,

 

First off I would like to know “ ARE YOU NUTS??” How can you say violent crime is down when there are people shooting all around?

If you think crime is down, then you must be a clown, because violent crime in our fair city Dear Sir is “NOT DOWN”!!!

 

Ask any person whose house has been invaded, or a parent who has lost a child because of shooting or street racing. Ask our Police Officers as they run from one shooting to another in one evening to gangs, or a firefighter that has to perform CPR on a child that was playing in front of his house that was caught in the crossfire of a gang shooting, as the parents watch their child die Or ask any citizen who has had a knife or gun placed near them for something as simple as having a cell phone. These people will not say crime is down, violent or non-violent; crime in Antioch is here to stay as long as you are in office.

NO we did not win the signatures that we set out to get. But we will win this battle, you just watch us. You state that you have a group of followers - I don’t think so. If you would take a poll to see how you are fairing, you would be shocked to see how many people you actually have following you, and how many want you out of office.

 

We will win this fight, get you out of office and take back Antioch once and for all.!!!!!!!

 

You will be running with your tail between your legs, and not looking back.

We have had enough, and will not stand for anymore.

We all love this city and with you in office hiding under your desk and not leading up to your lies that we all believed when you first took office, we have no choice but to throw you out like the trash you are. We will elect someone who will clean up the mess that you made, and turn this city into the gem that it once was before you took office.

 

 

Yes MR. Mayor your time in office is short, and you should find a city that does not know you and move there. “Because the citizens of this great city are taking over, and we will not stop until you are gone”

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 Concerned Antioch Citizens

Summer fun

I have been writing about some deep issues the past few essays, so I decided today to write about something positive and not so deep.

As I look,  I can see trees blowing a gentle breeze; blue sky; and feel  a warm breeze from an open window.   Families eating out at a local restaurant, the sound of a baseball hitting a bat, children running around laughing.   Makes me stop and think: “Yep it’s definitely summertime where camping is a tradition and S’mores are a must. Where life is easy and laid back, you put your worries to the side and enjoy the day.

 

Yep it’s summertime, where a trip to the local fair means eating fried candy bars and junk food, then going on a roller coaster being turned upside down and twisted from side to side, and hope what you just ate does not do the same.

 

Sitting down on a field with all of your family and friends to watch some amazing fireworks and thinking nothing can be better than this.  As you scan that field and see happy faces on everyone, a smile comes across your face, and you let out a sigh, and realize that despite what’s going on around in your life now, life is good and you never want to forget this feeling.   

As the “Grand Finale” displays it’s glory, and you start packing up your family, saying  goodbye for now to your cousins and other relatives, and head home.   Your family takes a well-deserved nap on the way back. You watch some more fireworks, look at your family and realize that no matter what you never want to lose this feeling.

Yep it’s summer time where the living is easy.
