Editor, Daily Press:

I would like to congratulate the Tahlequah firefighters on the success of their annual Fill-the-Boot campaign for MDA. This year, the collection was Saturday, Sept. 5. They set a new record for collections in Tahlequah and raised $18,014!

The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and the Muscular Dystrophy Association have been partners for more than 50 years. The local MDA chapter is deeply grateful to the Tahlequah Firefighters, Local No. 4099, for their tremendous support of our efforts.

I hope everyone in Tahlequah will acknowledge these heroes and the difference they are making in lives of those with neuromuscular disease. As MDA’s largest national sponsor, the IAFF helps us maintain our research and health care programs, including local MDA clinics. Please join me in congratulating the firefighters on a job well done.

Thank you to the citizens of Tahlequah for taking the time to drop your cash and coin into a boot. Your generous donations are helping us get closer to finding cures for muscular dystrophy.

Cassandra Buhler, fundraising coordinator

Muscular Dystrophy Association

Ego influencing justice

Harnessing talents
Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

Flip-flopping on issues
Shannon Goodsell, superintendent of Tahlequah Public Schools, apparently can’t make up his mind when it comes to giving taxpayer money to private organizations.

Thieves target cross
I am writing you regarding my cousin’s memorial cross on State Highway 51. He has been gone for four years now. The week before the four-year anniversary of his passing, someone stole his cross.

Kudos to the City Council
Editor, Daily Press:
Our elected officials showed wise judgment at [last] Monday’s City Council meeting. They chose individualism over collectivism.

Scare tactics on aliens?
Editor, Daily Press:
I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

Think twice about testing
Editor, Daily Press:
I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
