Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
This is my response to Charles Cooper as he made false accusations on Saxby Chambliss’ speech at GCSU.
Dear Charles Cooper,
My friend and I were also in attendance to this meeting. It was very obvious to us first of all that you were not coming in as an independent voter because you, and all of the people you were sitting with, were fond supporters of Obama and Martin and very liberal in general. At comments that Saxby Chambliss stated about how he plans to help America conserve energy, and about healthcare, and about other issues you and your friends would shake your heads in disgust and make comments to each other that were negative.
After Saxby was done talking, there was an eruption in noise and I barely heard your friend, and I was sitting at the table beside yours. Do not make false statements saying he intentionally ignored your friend’s proposal to asking questions. As far as Saxby talking upon the issue of Troy Davis what he said was, “It is up to the Judiciary System I really don’t have a say.” He is one-hundred percent correct, if you would keep up with the news this is a COURT CASE not a bill voted upon by the senate. On the issue of healthcare, you persisted to tell Saxby that Obama did not want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
This IS wrong, and thereby, he had all the right to tell you you were incorrect. There are many articles stating that Obama wants UNIVERSAL healthcare. Therefore, indeed you do need to do more research before you confront someone who deals with these issues for a living. The place was very crowded and there were many people trying to ask questions aside from you and all of your friends.
He had many people from different newspapers asking him questions trying to get his opinion on certain issues. As for your friend not receiving a handshake, I personally saw Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson walking around to each table shaking the hands of everyone there. The ONLY reason why your friend may not have received a handshake might have been because there were a lot of people in there and he was on a constricting time limit because he had other places in Georgia to attend. I was there and did not see Saxby intentionally ignore a handshake. Charles, I do not see the need to lie about certain Senators. If you wanted to talk very highly of Jim Martin then go for it, if you choose to lie then hold your tongue.
Thanks so much,
Trey Beavers
