Over the past few days you have done one heck of a job keeping me busy, which is a great thing. As I stated last week, the ONLY way our local leaders are ever going to listen, the only way they are going to feel the immense pressure of "We the People" is through comments.
When you speak up and voice your opinion on different topics, our local leaders watch what is said on Salisbury News and over the past month, (I don't know if you're aware of this, or not) many of those leaders have been quite vocal about the articles and comments.
That being said, I thought I'd share the last three days worth of numbers.
Wednesday, 504 comments
Thursday, 300 comments
Friday, 410 comments
These are numbers our local MSM have never seen. I'm not talking about the DT's switching to Facebook either. I mean it when I say they have never seen this kind of volume of comments in ALL of the years they have been on line.
Together we will make a difference. Just remember that you finally have a source that isn't controlled by special interests. In order to remain respected by these leaders you truly need to participate and voice your opinion.
And speaking for myself, thank you for giving me/us a forum to voice our opinions.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope our so called leaders read these comments and take them to heart.
It's a great nation that this type of forum is available. What must not happen is government control or intervention of any kind. The next gen of SOPA is on its way, and it's probably in more than one bill, whether it uses child porn control, fracking, or LGBT as a cloak. Read every bill and write your state and Fed reps.

ReplyDeleteFracking?! Internet? ???
I don't see the connection. Do you know what fracking is?
Or are you just dropping names? lol
Most comments are just sleazy remarks, of no help to anyone.

You are wrong, except in your case.
