Serving 164,000 over 14 counties, UCHRA with its $33 million budget could be hard pressed for funds should Republicans/Tea Party gain control of House and Senate.
If you want to see your tax dollars continue to assist people in need then vote for Carter, Bone and McDonald.

Could it not also be that the 164,000 figure represents the total number of people living in those 14 counties, a majority of whom will never seek any type of services or assistance from UCHRA? Could it not also be the case that it is possible to assist people in need by letting them keep their tax dollars, rather than using the government as a pass through?

Kevin: Do you really believe the "milk of human kindness" will dribble down those in need when Congress, if under Tea Party/Republicans, who have in every pronouncement said they would slash government programs from Unemployment Comp, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Affordable Healthcare Act, to Food Stamps? And those are just starters.

I lack the faith in mankind that you do and recall Hoovervilles far too vividly!

Do you really believe that government needs all the money that it takes and spends? Do you believe there is no waste? Do you believe that every person who receives government assistance is truly needy and deserving? Do you believe that receiving food stamps is better than having a job? Do you believe that receiving extended unemployment compensation discourages people from looking for a job?

The Woodbury LIONS Club as a major money maling project have been selling nuts for many years. It is a shame that some government agency is now trying to take this away from the local club... Please do not purchase nuts from this government agency. LIONS cLUB nUTS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON oCT. 18TH OR SOON THEREAFTER.

I agree that one organization should investigate what the others are doing in the way of fundraising,and try OTHER means of fundraising, when another organization has been using that idea for YEARS. Competition is good for BUSINESS,but not necessarily good for fundraising. Also I see "insane political rambling" which is way off topic,has been allowed to INFECT this story too. I wonder if this is the same "daily reader" who claims to have taken over "the wire",but like those who take Viagra,seems to have problems getting it "up and running".Sorry if I'm wrong,but this person sure does love to editorialize about politics no matter what the topic.Perhaps next he will introduce the concept of
'insane political rambling' to the OBITUARIES.Not trying to make a personal attack here,but people are TIRING of those who seem to want to make every topic here POLITICAL.But then in retrospect,his rambling may be appropriate here. After all,the topic is about "NUTS".
