Our opinion

They should be judged based on merit, not for who they worked for, or rumors.

if everyone were like Eric Cantor, our current representative to Congress, these magnificent animals would be shipped off to slaughter houses to be sold for human consumption.

It is all a part of a diabolical scheme to reward the money lenders, the insurance companies, broaden the tax base, and provide grist for the mill on Wall Street.

Anyone considering voting to make Barack Obama the next President of the United States of America should consider a few things first. 

The Republican Hate Machine goes around the clock when they know they are going to lose.

As taxpayers and landowners in Orange County, it is imperative that we fully understand the impact of these restrictive changes on our rights as property owners.

Our opinion

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

We cannot destroy this most precious place with all its history.

Perhaps there is nothing like a bit of a disagreement to attract the public’s attention.  If so, recent discussion may serve to increase public insight into Orange County comprehensive planning.

Editor’s note:
In last week’s edition of the Orange County Review, Pastor Billy Curry’s letter was inadvertantly cut off. This week, his letter is published in its entirety.

It was with much interest that the latest and varied news was posted in the Review recently. To me, the following topics were worthy of note and accordingly, these are a few views of mine.

Be armed with information on Election Day

In early summer an elderly gentleman came into my gallery. He told me quite an interesting story.
Here it is in his own words.

We strongly believe that the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter in Orange County is the wrong project in the wrong place.

My great-grandmother, Grace Davenport Gooding, used to take me with her downtown to get the mail at the old post office across the street from Preddy’s Funeral Home in Gordonsville

I am glad to see responses to my letter last week, because I have one agenda and one agenda only: to help Orange county, and present the facts, not opinions.

I want to plead with all of you voters to consider praying before you go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008.

But, only in an atmosphere where we include all of our citizens and forsake the money-changers and the select and solemnly consider our position in the world will our country stand.

Raising the BAR?

On behalf of the Orange County Fair Association, I would like to thank the Emerson Charitable Trust for its very generous gift of 100 acres of land to our organization.

The Wal-Mart store would attract commercial sprawl, turning a busy intersection into one with large traffic problems and thousands of additional vehicles.

It is foolish to believe that new development will eliminate increasing taxes.

CFO is in favor of commercial development where it is compatible with key historical or other unique sites and does not appreciably increase our rate of population growth.

As the Orange County pro-rural vs. pro-residential growth debate continues, something else continues to proliferate: the inaccurate portrayal of the positions of those who want to preserve the rural character of this community

It is my understanding the owner of the Orange Review, Media General, has forced cost-cutting mesures on the newspaper that will make it even more difficult to maintain the high journalistic standards and community service that has consistently characterized the newspaper in the time I have lived in the area. 

It was wonderful to share the results with the world on Constitution Day, Sept. 17.
