Letter To The Editor
Not surprisingly, the Concord Monitor continues to let Katy Burns
spew hate and discontent toward Republicans. Burns
castigates Republicans for daring to oppose Obama’s unprecedented spending
increases, and even suggests that the Republican party is defunct. Her
shrill rhetoric has reached new levels of hate (imagine - a hateful
liberal), but although Burns loves slinging mud,
her writing doesn’t stand up to the facts.
Burns, like Obama and his other worshipers, screams gloom, and doom
regarding the economy. Their voices are scaring millions of Americans into
accepting tremendous budget increases that may or may not assist the
economy, but more likely will either bankrupt the country or bring us in
line with the European socialist countries where tax rates on the working
classes exceed fifty percent.
Listen up Americans! Who votes for the largest expenditure in history
without reading the bill? Who more than triples the U.S. deficit in less than thirty
days without engaging in serious discourse with opponents? Who has the
audacity to preach deficit reduction after proposing unprecedented spending
increases that are unsustainable without future large tax increases on the
middle class?
We are spending money we don’t have, even with increased taxes on high
wage earners. Americans must begin to seriously examine the radical
socialist policies underlying Obama’s spending. There is a reason the stock
market continues plummeting and liberals can no longer blame
Bush. Obama’s record has begun and it may be the largest disaster
in our great country’s history.

Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News
Still Accepting
Winter Clothing
By Ruthi True
We have lots of folks calling every week to see if we’re accepting winter
clothing now. The answer is YES we accept any season clothing any time of
year. What we receive out of season is packed away for the homeless so
that when that season comes we have supplies to help folks. We have other
organizations give us their off season items as well. This is much
appreciated as they know we help people all year long with items free of
charge if there is a need.
Easter is fast approaching and we are looking for nice dresses for
women, also purses and shoes for church etc. Kids dress up clothing at this
time of year is always needed and we don’t always meet that demand. So if
you’ve out grown items or are sick of some items and wish to donate them to
a local non profit organization we’d love your donations. We can give you a
tax deductible form for your donation if you’d like.
We have a lot of new shoppers looking for small furniture. We need those
kind of items all the time to help set people up after fires or just
folks setting up apartments. In and around
Pittsfield
we have a lot of apartments and they are always changing. There is a big
demand at thrift stores for items that apartment dwellers need. Things like
towels, sheets, curtains, dishware, etc. Almost anything you may get sick of
or just don’t need anymore, but that is still serviceable. This does not
mean junk or broken items. If you have a fire, you want nice items given to
you, not broken junk that doesn’t work.
WISH LIST
1) Donut cutter.
2) Wire egg basket for man with
chickens.
3) 2 draw file cabinet (metal or wood).
