As we follow national news coverage on Medicare as an election issue, it reminds us that we need to find better ways to provide care for a growing number of older Floridians — especially at the end of their lives — and still control healthcare costs.

In regards to “Wake up America” which appeared in the Letters to the Editor section on May 13, 2012. There are two old sayings that come to mind when reading that letter. One is the only thing more dangerous than an uninformed people is a misinformed one, and the other being that no cause has ever been served by the misrepresentation of facts.
I’ve read some very strange and hateful Letters to the Editor from the gentleman who styles himself, weirdly, as “Rev Billy Bruner, TH. D. (Earned)” in the past and simply shrugged them off as sincere but misguided. However, his letter published May 13, titled “Wake Up America,” requires a response.
My hearty congratulations to Jackson County Floridan writer Lauren Delgado for her many stories over a two-day period on how the use, preparation and sale of methamphetamine affects individuals and the community.
I write this email concerning the political connection of events that have taken place in the last several days. We were told on the evening news that another “bomb threat” had been prevented.
I was deeply saddened by the news late last month that funding for the Florida Education Channel was vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott. The channel has played an important role in sharing stories of Northwest Florida war veterans.
On May 8, there will be a vote in the Jackson County community of Compass Lake in the Hills to replace two of the members of the Board of Directors.
To all voters of Graceville : There is going to be a meeting May 8 , at 6 p.m. , to decide if the city (of Graceville) is going to clean up old buildings that are in bad shape on private property, or redo the ordinance, or do away with it all together.
Rep. Southerland has been selected to serve on the conference committee to resolve issues between the house and senate versions of the highway funding extension in D.C. One of the issues he will be asked to resolve is the Senate's attempt to mandate Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) devices on all large trucks. At first glance this seems to be common sense legislation, but a deeper understanding of the issue reveals that this intrusive, big brother mandate will actually impair highway safety vis-a-vie heavy trucks. How so?

As a parent and a teacher, I am deeply concerned about the future of public education in Florida. Years of crippling budget cuts have resulted in teacher layoffs, larger class sizes and the loss of arts, music and in some cases, athletic programs. This is hardly building a quality school system for our students and communities.
I write this as an apology to the citizens of Jackson County or anyone who reads the paper or anyone that I have talked to about the septic tank law.
This is in response to the Letter to the Editor appearing April 15, 2012: ‘Too many questions, not enough answers.’ The answers have been more than provided over the course of these events.

It is time to stop hiding behind excuses like “we don’t have the votes in the Senate” or other excuses for not living up to your oaths to uphold and preserve the constitution of the United States — and do what is right, whether or not the Senate does.

Your editorial titled "Obama Will Get Credit or Blame For Gas Prices" was completely misleading. The entire article then listed all the reasons why Obama wasn't to blame. It could have been written by the DNC.
I am writing this to ask questions about the death of the young boy in the South Florida area.

I see storm clouds on the horizon. May not get here while I’m alive, but they’re comin’. Three things we can’t run from much longer — debt, Social Security and Medicare. They can all be fixed relatively easily now.
