We Must Make The Wise Choice For Our Grandchildren

 We in Staunton have a choice to make.  It is up to us.  Shall we choose solar energy ? Twenty one years ago, I was adopted into the Shenandoah family, Wolf Clan, Oneida Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (People of the Long House).   White people call them Iroquois. We are taught to listen to our elders, learn to respect and act responsibly. Oren Lyons, 93, Wolf Clan, is an Onondaga Chief, and world leader of peace who teaches —  The Earth is our Mother.  She gives everything we need for life.  Imagine a living pine tree clinging to a cliff; getting all it needs for life from the earth.  We are like that pine tree.  Our Mother Earth provides, but time is running out.  We have little time to make changes in order to survive.  The economy of nations will be broken by natural disasters.  We see more disasters every year:  hurricanes, snow melt, coastlines washing into the seas, wild fires, drought, flooding, on and...

The Transparent Lie behind the "Election Integrity Unit" and a FOIA Request

Dear Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares,

YOU, as a newly elected Attorney General, with the approval of  Governor Youngkin, established the ELECTION INTEGRITY UNIT as a part of your office. 

This appeared to have been high on your to do list, occurring after multiple investigations showed “NO SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE OF FRAUD IN THAT ELECTION” the election that elected Youngkin as Governor and you, Miyares as Attorney General.

The title "Election Integrity Unit" strongly SUGGESTS fraud in the election and it would be cleaned up by the newly elected officials.

THE BIG POINT: IT WAS A FAIR AND FREE ELECTION,  and I repeat with "no evidence of significant fraud.” The election results WERE ACCEPTED by Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. There were no big lies, and there was no Jan. 6th type of behavior.

I wrote a first letter to you on questioning the formation of The ELECTION INTEGRITY UNIT. My second letter is to support “The Virginia Chapter of NAACP request FOIA related to The Election Integrity Act”.

Transparency is important when there are so many questions about the whys, how’s, cost, and results, of this unnecessary government’s action.

I speak as a Southern white woman who supports social equality, a fair and free election without ANY suggestions of voter suppression and TRANSPARENCY.

Respectfully,

Ms. Carol Poulson
Staunton

WRE and the use of public resources: TIME

At a forum on Tuesday Sept. 13 th , Staunton City School Board candidates weighed in on the possibility of reintroducing Weekly Religious Education (WRE) for public school children. Three candidates clearly supported reintroducing WRE in Staunton public schools: Lisa Hatter, John T. Wilson, and Fontella Brown-Bundy.   Of the three, Mrs. Hatter cited Thomas Jefferson in order to support her position.  As she put it, Jefferson saw the “wall between church and state” as a one-way process.  Citizens bring their religious views into civil life through their participation in public institutions; however, the government cannot promote religion to its citizens.   Isn’t Mrs. Hatter’s take on Jefferson a very strong argument against WRE, rather than for it?  Why?   Her description of this one-way process assumes that no public school system resources are used to promote religious practice.  This is not the case with WRE.  While our courts ...

Youngkin's Lack of Respect for Victims

To: The Honorable Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia Dear Sir: Political violence increases in the US because of the “big lie” and conspiracy theories. It continues to spread and even promoted because elective’s officials have lack the courage to condemn this behavior in a serious way.  Yesterday, the free press reported THE LATEST SHOCK IN US HISTORY! A medical emergency was created after a violent political attack was committed on a private citizen in his home.   A 42 year old assailant with a hammer crushed  the skull of Paul Pelosi and left severe injuries to his right hand and arm.  Today, the traumatized family will have a clearer picture of recovery time and permanent outcome of sustained injuries. CNN reports that the “alleged attacker posted multiple conspiracy theories”. It has also been reported that the man was looking for Nancy using the Jan. 6 Capitol chant, “Where is Nancy”? I expected to witness a reasonable response of respect and empathy for ...
