LODGE BREAKING NEWS
Checking the candidates' facts
GOP Incumbents will face challengers in November 2008. The Five challengers all are prior military service and together have a combined 75 years of military service. Where is our future? How our politicians of both parties fail both military veterans and peace officers and what we can do to to stop it. Statistics indicate that older citizens are likely to vote three time more often than younger citizens. Since peace officers and military veterans are microcosms of our community, we believe that we can assume that these statistics also apply to us. So ask yourself: If you're the politician, would you look after the 20% you never here from-or the 80 % who vote, call, visit or write to you and organize lobbies to influence you? Silent voters almost never prevail. The Southern States Police and Veterans wants rank and file peace officers and veterans to find their voice and become a vital part of the political action. Let's hold our local politicians accountable for their action or lack of action on peace officers and veterans issues. Visit www.g-cops.org/voterguide/index.htm to find out who supports you and who don't. Then vote accordingly in 2008.

Texas Court finds Delay's PAC guilty of violating
Texas campaign laws". Delay Indicted and arraigned. A trial date has not been set. Term Limits for Mayor and Council. The time has come for us to consider placing term limits on our Columbus elected officials. Educate yourself about term limits and why its become important to get rid of politicians who are only serving their own interest or those of their friends and not the average citizen. A good place to begin the discussion and learn what you can do to change the political environment of Columbus is by visiting www.ustl.org Bob Hydrick's Commentary, Sunday May 8, 2005 Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. What can I say? Well, I say our former mayor has it exactly right. So lets think outside of the box! As I have recommended to some on council, including the mayor, we can put the issue back to the voters in a referendum with language that would spell out clearly the purposes that the one-cent sales tax could be used for. The only two uses allowed under this plan would be for purposes of Public Services and Public Safety. We need to put the brakes on all of this nonsense of trying to keep up with other cities in Georgia and around the world. If the mayor, council and their special interest friends want to have a bike trail, hotel rooms and whatever other big ideas they can come up with, let them form an investment cartel and use their own money to invest in these projects. One other fact that Bob didn't mention and that is the complete lack of business acumen on part of this mayor/council who have been managing our affairs for years. The time has come to fire them and bring in a new management team. Ed Richards currently serves in the VFW Action Corp, as Chairman of Legislative Affairs for VFW Post 12002 and the 5th District, Department of Georgia. President Bush has issued his proposed budget request for 2006. The VFW's Legislative Action Alert says veterans Health Care and Benefits: "Brink of Disaster". The Corp is calling upon all VFW Members and the members of other veterans organizations to contact their representatives and express their outrage. The president's VA budget proposal would cause 220,000 veterans to stop receiving treatment at VA hospitals. 28,000 fewer veterans would not get long-term care such as nursing home care. Over 3,000 healthcare personnel would be eliminated in an already understaffed health care environment. Hundreds of thousands of veterans would have to pay hundreds of extra dollars out of their own pocket because of increased co-payments and enrollment fees. What can you do to fight this battle? Write your Elected Officials by clicking on links on the index tab or call and tell your Congressman/Senators that you are outraged with the President's budget for veterans healthcare. Let them know of the devastating effect this budget would have on veterans depending on their earned healthcare. Inform them that you expect the congress to fully fund the VA healthcare system, by providing the $3.4 billion more than the President requested. This amount is called for by the VFW and the Independent Budget. Your representatives care about what their constituents think. With your efforts, we can make a difference in the lives of veterans who have sacrificed much on behalf of the citizens of this great country.
