Dear Editor,
Recently, I was watching Acquire the Fire: a show focused on teens and their problems. 35% of adults today are Christians. At the current rate of evangelism, 4% of our generation will be Christians by the time we’re 20. More and more our generation is pulled down by what media tells us to do. The statistics are rising and we are falling. Suicide, shootings, sex, rape, abortion, drugs, alcohol; it’s all happening too much and too often. And it’s no wonder knowing what we’re shown wherever we go. I understand that everybody has temptations, but why do the media have to shove them in our faces? Violence is shown on TV shows, movies, etc. Kids are told that drugs make them feel good; alcohol takes the pain away. And a person can’t go to the store without seeing a magazine with the word SEX written in big, bold letters. We need to do something. We have to speak up and show our generation what’s happening to them, to us. We need to stand up to the media and let our voice be heard. “The future of this nation depends on capturing the hearts of this generation.”

Letter to the Editor
I look forward to your monthly column "Around the World With One Question". The report that sticks out to me the most is this past month's article entitled "How Often Do You Pray?" I found this to be especially interesting since it permeated the usual boundaries that many publishers draw to avoid religious controversy. This question follows others such as "When is the last time you called your mother?" I find this recent spiritual inquisition to be oddly casual and abruptly intrusive. The diagram is appealing but the information included is quite limited. I was slightly confused as to how this information was obtained. From the phrase "global survey", I have been led to believe these statistics generated from an online poll. I also wonder how many religions are represented in these figures. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

To the Editor:
I am writing to you on a problem I have found within the paper I have received this morning. First and foremost I will tell you that I am not writing to placate you. This letter will be direct and not the least bit diffident. Though we may have incongruity in our opinions I hope you will consider this letter even if it you see it as morose.
I abhor the article I found on the front page this morning. I found that article to be implausible. The very thought about aliens landing in a spaceship in the back yard of a local citizen’s house is ridiculous. I felt the writings about this event to be made up by a charlatan; nothing makes sense though the writer claims to know everything about these supposed aliens. I feel you are in dearth with publishing credible stories. This is not the first time that something this absurd has been published.
Your stories are toxic to those of this provincial area. Now men and women young and old will think that aliens truly are invading the backyards of their neighbor’s houses. These words posted are a conflagration to our society.
I advise you keep a vigilant eye on the stories you are reviewing and to expunge any lunatic stories such as aliens invading a local citizens backyard. If more stories of this sort are published than I will reiterate my story to those in command above you.

Editor-In-Chief of the Morning Call,
I am writing this letter for a few different reasons. I must inform you of unbelievable crimes within our own police force. By writing this I am doing my best to be free from blame. I find it suitable to inform you instead a higher authority within the government because the media is able to make more of an impact than simply dealing with the source of the problem, our ostensible protectors from crime. I have been trying to collect as much information and evidence.
I will start from the beginning; I am the wife of a very powerful member of the police department. My husband thinking that I would never question his work became very lacks about hiding his connection to the underground crime families, the things he did for them, and the money and power he received for helping them. For years the government have been helping the crime families especially the Italian mafia, giving them the most power within our city. This has caused a division within our government, not only locally but statewide, and maybe even farther. They all know of these actions but many refuse the mandates from their leaders and peers, and detest the entire situation. With numerous man in uniform wanting to improve the city, there is much hope. But I fear for the safety of the men and women in our government that have the best intentions for us as citizens, which is another reason why we need action to be taken! All of this must start with informing the people of what is happening because attention must be brought to the circumstances. I have enclosed many documents between the police and crime families, and also a list of people to investigate, a list of crimes committed and as many details as I can give you, and some other information. I hate to devolve these problems onto you and your staff but I feel that you have the resources to do something that I cannot. I will write to you again hopefully with more information.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
I greatly appreciated your last article that apprised your readers of the Red Envelope project. The issue of abortion has caused a dichotomy of thought in America; it is such an apposite topic right now. America's history is checkered with grevious sins, but abortion is easily our greatest crime. I am so glad that you agree that it is time to put an end to this. While some believe the idea of the Red Envelope plan actually making a difference is risible, I believe that it is a wonderful possibility for change to take place. It is time to abjure the law that made abortion legal and this might be the first step. While some citizens may feel as though the repeal of the law will take away their rights, there also is a large number of people who execrate abortion and are willing to take a stand against it. I do not believe that by ridding our nation of abortion we will be exculpated of all our crimes, but it definitely is a step in the right direction. Those heading up the Red Envelope project can be protagonists for change in this nation.
Sincerely,
Jennie Carmona

Dear Editor,
I was writing in response to something i viewed on the news a few days ago. I saw a story of a man who risked his life to save another person's life by getting that person out of the way of a moving vehicle. The man was injured and taken to the hospital, when he wakes up to find that he is being charged with j- walking, and is required to pay a ticket. This man risked his own life for someone else and now we are punishing him? What kind of message is that sending to our community and our children! Do not help anyone else because you will get in trouble, no ones life matter but our own? I strongly believe that this is not the kind of message we want to be putting out. We need to be applauding and honoring this man for his heroic act, not slamming him with a ticket!

Dear Editor,
I sent this letter to pull your attention to a virtually unkown issue in Arkansas. The Arkansas Senate rejected a bill for an in state tuition for illegal immigrant children on Monday, March 30, 2009. The bill was rejected by the senate by a 13-21 vote. Why? It would give childen of illegal immigrants help to pay instate tuition rates at state colleges and universities. Only students/children who attened an Arkansas high school for at least 3 years and has an Arkansas high school diploma would be applicable for the rates. One of the reasons the bill was failed because, it questions the legality of a few laws. Also the senate is worried that if the bill passed more illegal immigrants would move to the area.
I disagree, I think the bill should have passed. Its not just about the illegal immigrants kids but the bill could be worked to help low income families who need help as well. The bill does not just benifit the students abut society as well. If we did not give them a higher education we all would pay the price. Those kids would not have the ablitiy or education to get a job which will bring the economy down as well. Since they children/students/kids are here we may as well give them an education because they aren't going anywhere fast. Honestly the choice is ours on how well the next gereration is going to be educated.
Sincerly,
uneducated in Arkansas.
" the bottom line is this: They are in our state, they are not leaving. We can choose to have them here as educated people or we can choose to have them here as folks that we deny an education to. (who are we to do that) That is our choice." -Joyce Elliott

Abortion
Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
I am sending this letter to bring your attention to the rights of the unborn babies, who die everyday in abortions. The number of abortions is approximately 1.37 million a year in America (3,700 innocent babies dyeing a day). “1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).” * The issue I am bringing forth is that abortion should be illegal. I am a very independent woman. I feel that women should have every right that is available. We are our own person, we are human. The only thing is, that embryo in a woman’s stomach, is every bit human. All humans have rights. According to the Constitution of the United States, it is illegal to murder any human. Those little babies that are killed everyday are indeed HUMAN! That embryo is the same exact being as the person it will grow up to be. There are only a few things that are different about those cells and a human. 1) The environment is different. The birth canal is not some magical canal that magically turns you into a human. 2) She/he has grown. You can admit that you have grown since the day you have been born. 3) Dependency of the child. First the embryo is dependant on its mother physically. Now a kid depends on the world. All of this evidence proves that the fetus, embryo, egg and sperm cell, newborn, are human. For more information and scientific proof, please go to this website: http://www.prolifetraining.com/
ABORTION IS MURDERING AN INNOCENT LIFE OF A HUMAN! IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!

War on Terror or Overseas Contingency Operation?
Dear Editor,
In your article, Obama Team Drops "War on Terror" Rhetoric, you stated that Obama said the term “War on Terror” is no longer to be used. Is it wrong to call things what they are? Of course we choose to refer to mature topics using euphemisms when talking to young children, but do we need to soften the way we look at a war? Seriously, do we need to call it Overseas Contingency Operation? The definition of contingency is “An event that may occur but that is not likely or intended; a possibility.” So what Obama is saying through this new name on the war is that either the war is a vague possibility and is currently not happening or the war is happening but it was unintentional that the terrorists flew into two NYC buildings on September 11th, and that they didn’t mean to hit the towers. The terrorists just couldn’t find an open runway to safely land the passengers. Now if you are older than maybe four, you could tell that there is something wrong with both of those ideas. I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels that it’s rather insulting that the President tries to use big words and metaphors to twist the meaning of the war, but if I am then our country is in a lot of trouble.

Because of the scandal surrounding Judge Mark Ciavarella, hundreds of convicted juvenile delinquents are being released, with their records expunged. Ciavarella pleaded guilty to taking pay-offs and trying under-aged defendants without a lawyer. While these children clearly did not receive a fair trial, is this really the best course of action? They are now being released, and given a clean record. What is this teaching them? The only thing these kids are learning is that our justice system is corrupt, and they can get away with their crimes without any consequences. Although it would take a great deal of time an effort, perhaps it would be wiser to allow these children a second trial, this time with a lawyer, rather than simply letting them off the hook.

The US government has thrown trillions of dollars at large industries these past few months hoping to solve this economic downturn. It didn’t work, and it’s not going to work. Does rewarding bad behavior ever redeem a situation permanently?
Our country got into this “economic crisis” by spending money we didn’t have. As of December 2008, estimates put the national debt at $37,000 for every man, woman, or child in the United States. Statistics on credit card debt alone should give us a good glimpse of how formidable irresponsible spending in our country really is.
The February bailouts probably just made the problem worse. Taxpayers’ money went only to the huge companies who were irresponsible enough to near bankruptcy, not the small, local businesses who got hit the hardest. These small businesses are the heart of our failing economy, but we’re giving all the oxygen to random fingers and toes. Maybe the bailouts stemmed the problems for a little while, for a few people, but an economy must fix itself! Bankruptcy of big companies is an economy’s emergency salvation procedure. We need to let this economy right itself and let the rotten apples fall so that healthy ones can grow; the tree may be without fruit for awhile, but gluing the bad fruit back on only worsens the problems. Please, write your congressmen and tell your friends, these bailouts aren’t helping anyone!
