Subject: High Speed Rail Opposition
To: Supervisor Mike Ennis, I notice from the paper {Porterville Recorder} that this subject will be on the agenda tomorrow {Jan 10th 2012} at the Board of Supervisors meeting. I want to make it clear that I am in total opposition to this boondoggle. There have been reams of data put out showing that this will only waste taxpayer money and not benefit movement of people. This comes at a time when CA governor Brown is pushing for higher taxes on the "rich" and increasing sale taxes on everyone to finance his further wasteful spending. I urge you to oppose HSR also! Sincerely ... Bob Inabinette bobeye@hughes.net from Springville, CA.

Subject: Open Letter to the Republican Establishment
Dear Editor, Ron Paul's surge to the top of the polls in Iowa, and increasing likelihood that he will win is causing angst among many of you "Establishment Republicans". You are quick to try and dismiss a potential win as some sort of fluke, or owing to Independents registering to vote for him. Your typical argument against him is that "Ron Paul is too far out of the mainstream", and that his rise in the polls could be bad for Iowa's standing as the first caucus and bad for the Republican party. Let's address the idea that Ron Paul is out of the mainstream, and by implication, unelectable. Regards ... John Keller john@kellers.net from outside of Porterville, CA.

Subject: Jerry Brown's Tax Increase
Dear Editor, Governor Moonbeam Brown has to be brain dead or thinks that the electorate is brain dead! He is asking to raise taxes on the "rich" and sales taxes. He neglects the facts that we are already among the most over taxed states in the USA. The "rich" and many companies are fleeing CA to Nevada, Texas, Florida and other states who have no state income taxes and are business friendly. The ones who are snuggled in comfortably are the illegal aliens and other welfare recipients. Sincerely ... Bob Inabinette bobeye@hughes.net from Springville, CA.

Dear Editor, Many Tea Party members and supporters consider Rick Perry as just one of the Republican candidates. Unfortunately, that is a very dangerous assumption considering the fact that the U.S. is floundering on so many fronts, and the general feeling is it is not happening by accident. And they are right. This (Rick Perry's) "candidate's baggage" is INTERNATIONAL in scope. Thanks ... Glenn H. Rider - ghdr-benz@sbcglobal.net from Porterville, CA.

Dear Editor, My heart goes out to the family of Douglas Jeffries who was killed in Afghanistan. I know their hurt for I have lost two children of my own. I can understand young Jeffries wanting to better himself by joining the military since there was no other obvious alternative. I did the same at age 16 in 1947. It worked out differently for me and it saddens me for his fate. Thanks ... Bob Inabinette - bobeye@hughes.net from Springville, CA.

Dear Editor, this is the message I sent to our Congressman Devin Nunes. I'm not sure it will do any good as he has bought the phony birth certificates in the past. Dear Devin, Evidence mounts daily that Obama is not eligible to serve as POTUS. Experts have proven that the two birth certificates submitted are phony. I do not understand why Congress totally ignores this. It's as if there is a conspiracy to keep him in office. Thanks ... Bob Inabinette - bobeye@hughes.net from Springville, CA.

Dear Editor, The CA high speed rail system was established in 1996, California High-Speed Rail Authority (HSRA). It is a costly nightmare that is supposed to begin construction in 2012 but that is doubtful because our state is broke and other issues. Some have put the cost at $50 billion and others say $273 billion and most don't even know. Thanks ... Bob Inabinette - bobeye@hughes.net from Springville, CA.

In fact, if you remember, a little less than two years ago, his administration actually charged and attempted to *court martial* *3 Navy SEALS from* *Seal Team 6*, when a terrorist suspect they captured, complained they had punched him during the take down and bloodied his nose.

Dear Editor, I think this article may be of interest to you and your readers. Do you think you know the history of 'Dominion Theology'? To some, 'Dominion Theology' might be a standard heresy, as for most of the twentieth century the prevailing eschatology (doctrine of the end times) is premillenialism (teaches that the second coming will take place before, not after, the thousand year reign). Is it time to rethink this? I urge you to take a close look at this article: a compelling and brief study as to how we, as Christians, are called upon to have an active role to usher in God's kingdom.

Subject: 2010 Tea Party Meeting Scheduled for Feb 8th
Dear Editor -- My name is Al Watts and I got involved in the Tea Party movement about a year ago. I was drawn to this group because of my long standing frustration with both state and federal government and the self-serving politicians in Sacramento and Washington. I also liked the fact that these folks were non-partisan. Like me, many of them believed that they had been betrayed by both parties. I knew I had to get involved in order to change things.

Dear Editor -- Christmas is much more than just a tradition as it transports us to a very important truth: we are very important to God. Perhaps some may think that his or her life is a failure, having nothing to decently show for it to the world but however, �He who sees all�, God our Father is constantly calling us as his children (which is what we are).

Dear Editor -- Repeat a lie several times and it'll seem to be true. According to 'Nature' magazine, 125 000 years ago the sea level was 5 meters up and the temperature was 6 Celsiud degrees higher. This happened when there was no significant CO2 emissions from humans. Nowadays, we're being violently warned against this alleged global warming, that is to happen in a couple of centuries based on studies from 60 years back, while not even metereological previsions for the next day can be accurate.

Dear Sir, I am e-mailing you from Barcelona, Spain because I want Americans to know that ... many women have abortions induced by harassment and threats from their partners. However, to have their babies is less harmful for their conscience and their daily lives. According to the publication Public Health and the Semergen-06 consultation, the first cause of death in women between 30 and 34 years old is suicide caused by having had an abortion and this figure triplicates their rate of suicide. At the same time, female sexual dysfunctions may increase to 182% when compared with women who have never had an abortion and also suffer abuse from their partners.

Dear Editor, The more I hear about the proposed budget, the more red I see, politically, fiscally & emotionally. Essentially, we have a bunch of socialists, running an outrageous deficit scam, on the American public, and I'm really getting steamed. I'm more conservative than President Bush, fiscally, but at least part of his spending was justified by events.

Next, McDonald�s refused a request to remain neutral in the culture war by choosing to promote the gay agenda.

Subject: Summry Parole is a Sham !
Dear Editor, I am writing you today because I am concerned with the Governors proposal of Summary Parole. This should be called No parole. This is because Summary Parole is a sham. In the proposal, it states that a person who is on Summary Parole can only be violated if they are convicted of a new felony. This makes no sense. You are not going to violate a parolee if they receive a new prison term. Why would you, they are already going to prison. This means you can't violate an individual on Summary Parolee for gang association, possession of a knife with a blade over two inches, contacting their crime victims, for drinking alcohol if they have been convicted for multiple DUI's and other technical violations which control a parolees conduct while in the community.
