JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822
"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

This letter was a campaign issue regarding the legality of the letter on official Scottsboro Letterhead. I interviewed then Mayor Shelton about this letter, he stated to me, paraphrased, "I paid for the reproduction, typing, distribution, and postage of the letter." Current Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy stated to me, quote: ". . .For the record, I never heard of this org [organization - FATPAC] until someone forwarded me the post. Further more it is a state law that was violated . . . " Photo of Letter and quotations of political officials - Fair-Use for non-profit news reporting, commentary and education, "In the Boro" by G.

The Wheeler Affair, the Cover-up of Sexual Discrimination, Patterns of Organizational Misconduct, Reports and Disciplinary Actions
Think about this fellow citizens - Early in 2019 an attorney who specializes in Sexual Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Creation of a Hostile Work Environment, Ms. Hope Hicks, Esq., was paid $11,800 to investigate and make Recommendations to the City of Scottsboro. She made her report, it exists within the files of the City of Scottsboro, inquiries reveal it was a scathing report, there were disciplinary actions taken; attempts then and now are made to keep this report and the resulting actions hidden. How many of you fellow citizens have heard about her report and recommendations of disciplinary actions??
Unfortunately, some public officials, elected and appointed, forget who they work for, it is "We the People." Will someone, other than me, please inform Scottsboro Mayor Jim McCamy, that disciplinary records of employees are releasable per official records request, made twice now. Further, Mayor McCamy is the decision maker, the city attorney is his advisor, not the voice in his head telling him what to do.

THE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY
"I can say with confidence that the federal government needs a major overhaul. Don’t get me wrong, most public servants in government are highly educated and dedicated professionals who are committed to “the greater good.” At the same time, the government has become a bloated bureaucracy that is based on past conditions and in too many cases, federal programs and policies can’t demonstrate that they are generating real results that benefit the American people."

We must learn the lessons of our history or we will surely repeat our mistakes. I think the greatest problem facing our nation is the massive national and personal debt.
