In my opinion, this is such a true statement, “Dogs will never go without the best!” Being an owner of a rescued doggy who was abused for years just makes me feel that a dog deserves the best of treatment, having gone through all of the hard work the puppy mills put them through, it is time to treat and give the best that you can for the time they are here. 

The ongoing campaign against grey squirrels in the UK is grossly unfair and doesn’t stack up factually.

Tim Russert, a long-time host of “Meet the Press” had a heart attack at age 58 on Friday, June 13, 2008. He had a long list of accomplishments after his name; he interviewed many guests, actors, comedians, politicians and many others. Just name it; he did it!

The article, “Tornado, heat invade county”, with all its information, should alert us to stay cool and be very careful taking good care of ourselves in the excessive hot weather. 

A BPOL tax will cost Stafford residents, not businesses.

It is incredible to hear just how many “little patients” have been admitted to the Wildlife Center of Virginia, 50,000 (as of 2008) since it opened its doors in 1982. 

Stafford taxpayers beware. When you received your tax assessment for 2008, you were elated to see that the assessment on your home was reduced, but the assessment on your land was increased. 

News stories about Lindsay Lohan allegedly filching a college student’s fur coat — and the student’s subsequent lawsuit — seem to have missed the real crime.

As I was reading this article, one does not need to discriminate between race, religion, and color. 

I do not mince words. I want Stafford County to do whatever it can to battle illegal aliens and to specifically target them by passing an ordinance to limit the number of unrelated persons living in a home.

I have been a homeowner and active voter since 2004. I live at 106 Hope Road. While my recent activities have been confined to e-mails to my county supervisor and letters to the Stafford County Sun with the single focus on improvements to Hope Road, mainly from U.S. 1 east to Old Concord Road, I would like to address some greater county-wide problems and offer some possible modifications to the six-year service plan. 

Dr. Frank Withrow wants to see the U.S. repair its education needs through the eyes of the student. 

This story is truly amazing and just so inspiring to the mind to read that someone who has had so much trauma in her life and on top of that has to fight a type of brain cancer that is inoperable, now has to be a mighty and a strong survivor

I ran on a campaign for change, and I am keeping the campaign promises I made to manage growth, control spending and preserve our natural resources.

High fuel prices have made us think twice about needing to go places; grocery shopping, traveling, etc.

Spring cleaning does not have to be done in the house only. Taking care of yourself is important, too. 

One has to wonder whose agenda Ms. Kirkman, a Stafford County planning commissioner, is really pushing. In

I am very concerned about the performance of Widewater Planning Commissioner Cecilia Kirkman based on her recent letter to the Stafford County Sun: “Safety Concerns Go Beyond Hope Road”. 

I take offense at the blatantly anti-gun attitude demonstrated by the item, “The bad…Va. Issues 60% More Permits for Guns” that recently appeared on your editorial page. It should have read, “The good…More Virginians are taking responsibility for the defense of themselves and their loved ones.

The battles of American history; U.S. Indian wars, Pocahontas, the Civil War, the American Revolution, historical remnants all stand out in this lovely and historical state of Virginia, Stafford County, to name a few. 

I’m extremely disappointed in Democrat Supervisor George Schwartz (Falmouth), who presides over the Stafford Board of Supervisors. 

It is shameful how the people who whined that we “didn’t finish the job” in the first Persian Gulf War are now the same ones who lament the sacrifice necessary to do so today [Sun editorial: Far too many lives lost in Iraq, March 28-April 3].

I’m certain Mr. Blankenship managed to raise the ire of many Christians in his last column and I am one of them

While I know it’s not an easy job, I want to personally thank Speaker Bill Howell for fighting against unnecessary tax hikes, especially the gas tax. His continued leadership on responsible spending and lower taxes is much appreciated by this mother of four.

When you’re on the highway, one glance at the kids in the backseat, a grab at the cell phone, or even changing the radio could cost a life - possibly your own.

I’m glad to see the Sun covering important road safety issues. Unfortunately, the April 4 article regarding Hope Road contains several factual errors that likely left readers with the wrong impression.

How nice. In his Parenting column last week, Jonathan Hunley pilloried recent public musings by “two seemingly intelligent women” concerning the two democratic presidential front-runners. 

April is Organ Donor Month. It is a time when my family reflects on a tragic event in our lives.

I had a wonderful time going up to Washington, D.C. for the National Epilepsy Foundation Walk. 

How disgusting that the Stafford County Sun publishes a picture of children selling live rabbits on the front page of Talk of the Town
