Jim,
If we have a petition writing meeting next Saturday do you plan to be there?

Tweety, let's simply draw up a simple petition along the lines of we the undersigned wish to see a new post office built in Stokesdale for the following reasons.......
Then let me know a convenient time and I will bring a table and we will set up down there in front of the Stokedale Post Office. One morning next week or next Saturday morning work for you? Let me know.
BTW, I was only speaking to my own personal concerns in my earlier post and was not speaking for any other individual. I'll be happy to rejoin the current committee's efforts after the town council elections are over, when the rather public perceptions of political overtones will evaporate.
Until then, for me, it's just that I believe more in action than in meetings and endless chatter.

People dont plan to fail - They fail to plan
Sort of like of like taking 15 minutes to plan on planting trees but
not planning on how to get water to keep those trees alive in the Dawg Days of Summer. Give em a break if you cant think of it then dont condem it.

Forum Participants,
I don't like some of the comments I've just read on this thread, and I can see the potential for another verbal battle. If this forum is going to continue, it's going to have to do so without requiring a 24-hour referee.
Bottom line, if you want to constructively engage in conversation about how to get a new post office in Stokesdale, I encourage you to do so. Otherwise, take your postings, your innuendos and your accusations to another venue.
I remind you of the terms of agreement that each of you signed before participating in this forum: flame ideas, not people, or leave.
Thanks, Patti Stokes

Jim Flynt wrote: Finally, I have to be candid and wonder now from reading this week's article in The Northwest Observer if this whole idea isn't really a ploy for visibility in the upcoming town council elections for some rather than a genuine and sincere effort to actually see if we can't get a new post office for Stokesdale. (Just read the first paragraph of the story and tell me I am wrong). I refuse to be part of any effort designed to pander to voters.
I did go back and re-read the first paragraph, and the entire editorial. Frankly I thought it was well written, the final 2 paragraphs were particularly complimentary of this topic, and the actions of those who were willing to put the petition together. Sandra called it a "success", I'd have to agree. didn't get any political overtones at all.
From the words in the editorial, I interpreted that the editors were pleased that folks saw a need in the community, and in the space of a few days the forum provided a communication venue that resulted in a plan, not just a bunch of whining.
I'm not going to say "you're wrong" Jim, I'll just say I read a much different and more positive message. Good luck to y'all in getting the petition together and getting the signatures.

Jim Flynt,
I can honestly say that my question at the TC meeting precipitated all of the furor over the P.O. Since then, I have been writing incessantly to numerous officials and was happy that others picked up on this endeavor. Let's energize the effort and not tear it down. I do look forward to sitting outside the PO with you to garner the signatures we need. I have a few ideas for strategic places to gather everyone's "X" on the petition. As soon as the petition is drawn up by the group, I will contact you. Let's have some fun with this. It doesn't have to be all work. I will even bring along Sylvester (aka 1Keptman)

Kindly disassociate me/my name from your little 3 member partisan group.
Ciao.

Jim,
Please reconsider your decision to refrain from participating in the forum discussions. While you and I do not always see eye to eye on issues and ideas, I always enjoy and appreciate the open, honest, and spirited exchange of ideas. You've changed my mind a time or two, and I value your opinions.
Just my opinion, as a conservative independent thinker, but this forum needs folks that question the status quo and who aren't afraid to challenge us all to think at a higher level and to be prepared to defend our ideas, ideals, traditions, suspicions, and positions.
