Dear Editor: For the past four-plus years I have endured reading letters to the editor almost weekly from Obama haters and feel compelled to enlighten them on a few topics. The past two elections, Republicans have put up their best candidates against Obama and they couldn’t even defeat a him with high unemployment, soaring deficit, [...]
Dear Editor, I’m composing this letter to publicly thank several people who were instrumental in just literally saving my home during the recent flooding that ravaged the Mermentau Cove area of Acadia Parish. Without their help and thoughts, I would, without a doubt, had my home flooded along with thousands of dollars in damage. I [...]
Dear Editor, “Guns are killing children” is a spin by politicians to rev up political support by showing their concern as they cry at night. These same politicians are not crying as they approve the killing of thousands of children every year through abortions. People who claim to be Christians, but support a president that [...]
Dear Editor, “Never let a Crisis Go to Waste.” These are famous words by politicians, put into practice every day, and very effective. Gov. Christie of New Jersey, was shown hand in hand with Pres. Obama for photographs after the massive hurricane, it gained political points for both. The affected people, however, are still waiting [...]

We are a country divided very closely 50/50 into the power struggle of two political parties so different in ideology [...]
Dear Editor, I wish to thank a local merchant for their efforts to help control litter displays across our parishes. Handing out paper bags instead of plastic in an effort to stymie litter was more costly for them. This effort was a disappointment since it didn’t catch on with other merchants or the public. I [...]
Dear Editor, Will we need law enforcement or drivers ed as auto chauffeurs drive us to the grocery store? Autos have killed thousands all over the states as some people don’t even have a driver’s license or choose whom they eliminate. Tons of sheet metal coming at you on a four lane in the form [...]
Dear Editor, May I extend my thanks and appreciation to the Jennings Daily News for sponsoring the recent Holiday Grocery Voucher Giveaway. As a result, my name was selected for both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I am grateful to all the merchants for their cooperation and generosity in participating, particularly the merchants who selected [...]
Dear Editor, On Nov. 8, Jennings High School held its Veterans Day program. We listed to speakers and the Jennings High band was great. Veterans were asked to stand as each branch of the service was called out. I was really proud to stand with the Briggs brothers when the Army was called out. Brothers [...]
