But much of the county’s frustration is self-inflicted, not necessarily by Helmkamp, who’s only been overseeing this project for about 18 months, but by county officials, who have been unable to wrangle the necessary parts to pened to us’ I feel like I m living under a think of my boys first How would I feel get the project — first brought forth more than six years tyranny type of government Tell him to if one of them died fighting in Iraq’ ago — on the right track The American Legion Post and Unit 112 start thmlang about our freedom and to Would I think losing the life of my son Delays have been caused by property acquisition issues, recently spent many hours helping the follow the laws of the Constitution Why was worth it’ Sadly, the answer is no All by an argument with the Detroit Water and Sewerage hospitalized veterans at the Ann Arbor VA do members of Congress cow down to the of the evidence is in Iraq posed no threat Department over moving water mams, and by a steep Hospital shop for gifts for their families president, why do ) ou allow him to do to the United States, its dlies, or even drop m the economy The tovmship board cut the item One offiie Auxiliary Umtfe programs is to whatever he wants’ What happened to Iraqs neighbors, and the UN weapons completely out of its budget, and the city decided it would contribute to and be mvolvai m the checks and balances’ inspections were proving it Instead, our be money better spent on local roads Christmas Shop” early m December each year The president talks about al-Qaeda leaders rushed us into war in Iraq The “blame game” got played a lot over the issue There The unit purchases items for the vets to continuing their campaign to destroy The awful truth is that more American was even that silly bit a few weeks ago about whether the select and to be sent to their family mem­ America, why hasn t Bin Laden been cap boys and many more Iraqis will die for county did or did not mail a copy of the intergovernmen­ bers Each gift IS individually wrapped in tured’ You helped to impeach Mr this pre-emptive war that didn’t need to tal agreement to the city To his credit, Helmkamp has colorfiil Christmas paper and tagged All Clinton for lying about his sexual deal happen We need to hold leaders account­ refused to play the game, choosing instead to focus on Items are then boxed and mailed to a fam­ mgs, something that was personal How able for this, including Michigan’s 11th moving forward ily member to be opened on Christmas about Mr Bush, is he allowed to continu District House Rep Thaddeiis McCotter For all his good intentions, now Helmkamp must make This is all done at no cost to the veteran ously lie, he has done things that are far November 2006 represents an impor­ sure the project finally gets off the ground For some The veterans are unable to be with their worse, things that have affected our coun tant opportunity for change People should unfathomable reason, CSX Railroad officials have been families, but these gifts make them feel try and its people and Congress just looks remember the debacle of Iraq and the suf­ loathe to sign an intergovernmental agreement but that they are still pa^i; of the family the\ the other way’ When he tells Congress fering of people like the Blumbergs when Helmkamp told all parties the county would lay out CSXs have had to leave Many of the veterans he 11 do anything he wants stop him they decide whether Thaddeus McCotter $600 000 share if the railroad failed to pony up remark that these are the only gifts that Ricnaril Gomptosi deserves another term in Congress With the property acquired, the water issue settled and their families will receive Some of the vet P l y m o u t h Matt Haran all paying parties back on board, this project needs to erans are brought down to shop in their Canton wheelchairs and even on hospital cots Media not independent begin this construction season The county finally got This year, our unit was able to spend a v^at It wanted considerable amount of money to purchase In his column (“Despite reputation, Media are one-sided ^ Now the blame game has to stop, and county officials the gifts We are able to buy these gifts with journalists play a vital role in freedom, I read Kurt Kuban’s column regarding his must get this plan back on track the money you, the Plymouth community, Observer, Jan 1) Kurt Kuban writes feelings on he medias role and a soldiers donate to uo when vve stand m front without independent media wc would be parent’s negative perception of the media, I Kmart Busch’s market, Leo’s Coney Island at the mercy of what our leaders tell us had to laugh His comments onlyjustify the and Farmer Jack and offer poppies to you What independent media?
