To the editor,

It has become evident the citizens of Robeson County no longer have a voice as to what goes on in this county; this is unfortunate since, we the citizens, are the ones who not only pay taxes, which pay the salaries of county employees, etc,. but the county commissioners work for the citizens.

We do not work for them; apparently many are not aware of this since so many county issues are decided behind “closed doors” and the citizens are never given an opportunity for their input. It is now time for a county manager to be hired/appointed and we the citizens need to make certain we are given an opportunity to have input as to the selection of the county manager who will be in charge of “running this county” so to speak.

A committee is being formed of citizens who would like to become active in making certain the county manager, county commissioners, Health Department and other appointed/elected officials become aware they can be replaced and the time for us to stand up is now. If you are interested in assisting with the plans to give the citizens of Robeson County back their voices, please send an e-mail to faithw3@att.net or call (910)674-4994. It is time to make certain the organization chart for Robeson County is adhered to properly, which clearly has the “citizens” at the top of the chart and that the county is not run in the helter-skelter manner it has been for much too long.

BEWARE: reading, studying, searching, and researching (careful investigation or inquiry) Scripture (His Word) can be habit forming. Regular reading and study can cause loss of ANXIETY and FEAR; decreased appetite for LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, HATING. ANGER, and ENVY. Symtoms include: increased SENSATION of LOVE, JOY, PEACE, COMPASSION, OBEDIENCE OF HIS COMMANDMENTS and CONTENTMENT. If symtoms persist, just PRAISE YAHUAH! Side effects are FORGIVENESS, GRACE (FAVOUR), and LOVE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR.

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonike, who received the Word with great eagerness, and searched the Scriptures daily, if these words were so.

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice; but when a wrong one rules, the people sigh.

And it came to be, when Yahushua had ended these words, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as one possessing authority, and not as the scribes.

Do you know where these verses of Scripture are?

Matthew 7:6-9 "...seek and you shall find..."

Writer's note: "Unthinking respect for (man's) authority is the greatest enemy of truth."-Albert Einstein

Several people have contacted me regarding the "County Commissioners" not being responsible for the Health Department -- WRONG - the County Commissioners appoint the Board of Health members, who in turn are responsible for hiring/firing the Health Director -- I don't think one has to be a mental giant to realize the County Commissioners ARE the ones ultimately responsible for the Health Director, etc. - the favorite saying by Noah Woods when problems concerning Animal Welfare are brought to their attention is "we don't get involved with that issue" ... IF they are the ones who appoint the Board of Health members (and they ARE) and the Board of Health is the "body" who hires/fires the Health Director, it is very obvious the "buck stops with them" ... that excuse is no longer valid or acceptable. We have checked all authorites outside of Robeson County and as stated by them - "it is a County issue" ... you be the judge.

Thanks to all of you who are contacting me - we will hopefully be able to make a big difference at the polls if not before and hopefully those who are elected by the citizens will finally be held accountable and be responsible for what occurs in Robeson County ...

That is EXACTLY what I am saying - VOTE them OUT -- all of them - even if we have to wipe the slate CLEAN for once - however, in order to do this, the citizens must step forward and let them know they will NOT serve another term in Robeson County -- the time is way past due for the "good ole boys" to be voted out and to show that the CITIZENS DO have a VOICE and let it be heard loud and clear -- until then, nothing will ever change and, as I said before, the County Manager position is open now and it is my understanding the Interim County Manager has not completed his "schooling" for the position of "County Manager" -- that was sent to me yesterday - I wasn't aware they went "to school" for that position -- what about "experience" as well, etc., etc., etc.,???

As an outsider who moved here several years ago, I've been constantly blown away by the good ol' boy politics in this county. It's as crooked as a three dollar bill. Vote out incumbents.

Reminder to the Citizens of Robeson County:

Our efforts to succeed in making certain the County Commissioners, etc. become aware it is time the citizens be included in ALL aspects of what occurs in Robeson County will be successful only if we go forward in a peaceful, determined manner and not with any anger, etc. "We" already know WHO is at the TOP of the Orgaization Chart in this County - we now just need to make certain those we have "elected", etc. and whose salaries we pay, know we simply will no longer sit back and allow the "same ole same ole" to continue without "them" being held accountable -- hopefully those days will soon be over forever and we can certainly VOTE to have them removed from the "stage" each month - many times with "academy award acting" and a lot of "double talk".
