Letter to The Daily Reflector | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Ms. Gizzard,

    As uncomfortable as I was with you at our meeting last Tuesday evening, you were welcomed to stay and cover our meeting. However, my hunch has been vindicated by your write up on our group. Not only have you completely misrepresented our group, (there were 34 in attendance, by the way) you put us at the top front page of your rag to school us on the issues at hand. Both Karen Kozel and Diane Rufino told me that you have always covered the group fairly.... Not this time!

    Going over the House Bill 324 last night, I found nothing in the bill that is wrong for our country and the raising of our next generation. Did you READ the bill? Somehow not reading legislation is a classic character of your side. This bill, HB 324, talks about "the rights of ALL persons", equally, unifying each other without judging by superficial classes, your group's ideology of division, prejudice, and judgement based on skin color is absurd. If you would just open your eyes and stop spreading this evil dose of hate, our world would be a far better place. A person's character, NOT the color of their skin reveals the true individual.

    The Declaration of Independence is an amazing document to both live by and learn from. Already the the spoils of our present situation replicates the issues that King George was doing to the settlers in the 1700's. Revisit this document and read the grievances and you will see.

    In closing, I am very disappointed at your misrepresentation of our organization of parents, citizens, and educators trying to make our country peaceful, fair, and united. We are against a media and a governor that are puppets of a larger group of individuals that would like nothing better than to turn our great country into a third world mediocrity depending upon their "generosity" to be sustained.

    We are smarter than you think and not stopping now.

    Regards,

    Elizabeth Weidner
