Save Claypool School
Editor, Times-Union:I am so happy to see the outpouring support to save our school. I know that the vote was completed, I was there. I also know that it is honorable to say you have made a mistake and slow down and think out a more sensible solution. Claypool Elementary is a great school, with a great staff and wonderful facilities. It is in a great location, and it seems illogical to just shut it down and move all those kids to an already overcrowded school. I went to Claypool all of my elementary years and am thrilled that my children are going to such a fine school.
I would plead with Dr. McGuire and the school board to step back and see the wrong in the decisions that you have made and take an honorable step forward by admitting the mistake and correcting it. I don't have the answers, but I know there is one better than the one laid before us now.

Call Your Congressman
Editor, Times-Union:Yo, George W. Bush, do you want to keep your job? As you being one of my fellow Americans (as you would say), you might want to follow these three easy steps.
1. You say you want the U.N. to help pay the cost of rebuilding Iraq. Then don't put the cost on your fellow Americans. Take the $87 billion out of the billions of dollars you and our government keep sending to other countries every year.
2. Take the $87 billion that you want from Congress and create jobs for your fellow Americans.
3. Place an import tax on all offshore American companies who forgot where they came from, moving their companies out of the United States and taking our jobs with them for cheaper labor. If the import tax is high enough, they might think twice about moving and taking our jobs with them. Think about it. Don't commit political suicide.
Also, why should you and Congress and the House keep your jobs, when there are over 10 million people out of work today? Everyone call your congressman.
Have a nice day.
