In the story about the suicide of Trey Figures, Anniston Police Chief John Dryden said, "The school didn't have anything to do with what happened. Nothing." How can he say "the alleged incident and rumors which have so far turned out not to be true"? Anyone who is honest will tell you that bullying happens in and out of school.
We are good guys
It is past time for Americans to set forth their hopes and desires as a free people before it is too late. We are not the naughty boys and girls of the United States. We are the good guys. We are hard working, industrious and overcomers. The Obama administration is endeavoring to purloin our substance and convey our assets to globalists and special interests who want to sift us like wheat for pecuniary gain.

Parade a winner
This is a heartfelt salute to all who were a part of Anniston’s Veterans Day parade — those who planned, executed, participated in and attended this successful event. Also, a special thanks to those who had the day off from work or school but gave of their time to recognize America’s veterans.

Power and control
President Obama’s agenda is not about health care, climate change, immigration or union card check. It’s not about corporate profits, it’s not even about gays in the military. Make no mistake about it, the president’s agenda is about power and control.

Security is jeopardized
President Obama naively suggests the world can be free of nuclear weapons if the United States and Russia commit to arms reduction.

Lead by example
I agree wholeheartedly with the statement in The Star’s editorial. Companies that are making money should keep and hold workers in these desperate times; especially when they know that a worker who is let go will have a very hard time getting more work or another job.

Supporting gay rights
I wish to congratulate the people of the state of Washington for supporting the right of its gay and lesbian citizens to enter into domestic partnerships. Unfortunately, as in most parts of the nation, they can’t enter into marriages with the one they love.

The employees of the Weaver Post Office sincerely thank reporter Megan Nichols and The Star for the kind article about us and our recent breast cancer stamp awareness promotion. However, the article did not mention the people who deserve some of the credit for our success.

I recall how sick I was once when I was growing up. The doctor said my tonsils were so swollen that my inability to swallow was causing extreme dehydration. He informed my parents that surgery was recommended. Needless to say, surgery was not something we could afford.

The missives that come to The Star from letter writer Lindsey Ray of Montgomery remind me of cotton candy. They are a bit fluffy and take up space but lack any weight or substance.

I can't understand why Gov. Bob Riley will not allow the people who elected him to office to have some amusement in their off time, leisure time, or any time they feel like it, to go and play bingo. Bingo is bingo, whether it's played on paper or on a machine.

I need someone to explain to me what candidate Bill Johnson wants to accomplish by running for governor. I appreciate his candor on the concept of "compassionate conservatism" and the importance of religious non-profits working with government to aid societal problems. Republicans need to embrace these ideas, and I find his platform very attractive to my hybrid progressive-conservative political ideology.

I have never written a letter to Speak Out before, but after reading and hearing about the heartbreaking death of Tre'Juan "Trey" Figures, I felt compelled to do so.

Wow, what a joke! The two women's sentence was to hold a sign that said, "I stole from a 9-year-old girl on her birthday." Now that is real criminal justice. Oh, get a life.
