Boys and Girls club in Jeff Co GONE
When I turned on the news today & I saw that the Boys and Girls club in Jefferson county was closing, all I could do was put my head in my hands. The fact is that there is no funding to continue the Program. School Superintendent Bill Brumfield ( My World History Teacher no less) Tried to calm the issue by saying "Parents do not need to panic, if the school board allows us to do it, we will continue on, we won't miss a beat" He also said the school district in Jefferson County will use the remainder of the 21st century funding to run the programs there, but the cash could run out by July, at which point they'll try to find other ways to fund an after school program according to the WCTV website.
Now I understand that on the surface this may seem like a school board issue but if you think about it, It is really the entire county's issue. Whether the person is of voting age or not, it is the county's job to make sure that these people are safe and have a safe haven to go to after school. Now I have all the faith in the world and stand behind Superintendent Brumfield 225%, however I hope that the County Commission will step up and attempt to assist the School Board in securing if not another program, creating one for the children of the county to attend after the school day concludes. This subject is of high priority to myself as I would hope the entire commission.
Stay Safe Citizens,
Scott R. Goodlin

My Good Friend Bill Clinton Wrote Me
I first met Kendrick Meek when he was a Florida State Trooper who drove me from the airport during my 1992 campaign, and I've been a fan ever since. He's exactly who Florida needs in the Senate to put things back on track and we have just seven months to propel him to a victory.
Kendrick has the energy, the ideas and the ability to make the changes we need. He's done so much in Tallahassee and in Washington to expand opportunity. His campaign for smaller classes in Florida's schools was based on an idea from my administration.
We need him working with President Obama in the Senate on the toughest issues: from creating good jobs to providing more affordable health care to combating global warming.
Republican infighting has given him an opportunity to win that is better than ever, but fundraising numbers from this first quarter will show the pundits whether Kendrick can take advantage of it.
I promised to get 1,000 donors before the end-of-quarter deadline to prove Kendrick's strength. This is so important to our future. Please help me keep my word - contribute today.
Click here to rush $5 or more to Kendrick's Senate campaign. It will take 1,000 donors before the end of the month to compete with the Republicans, so he needs your help right away.
Let me tell you how Kendrick is going to win.
He's going to build a massive grassroots army to share with every single voter his real ideas for change - not the same old scare tactics.
Meanwhile, the Republican primary will be so divisive and so expensive that Kendrick's campaign will be able to frame this election on our terms:
Do we want to put our country back together and move forward or go back to the bad old days and the bad old ways that got us into all this trouble?
Kendrick can win, but he can only succeed if he has the resources to organize that grassroots army, get his message out, and fight off every scurrilous attack.
That's why we need to bring in as many contributions as possible - at least 1,000 donors in the next nine days to keep our campaign on track.
Click here to rush $5 or more to Kendrick's Senate campaign. It will take 1,000 donors before the end of the month to compete with the Republicans, so I need your help right away.
I know Kendrick can be one of the next great leaders in our party and in our country, but we have to get him elected first.
So get involved right away. We all need to do our part to win in 2010.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
P.S. If you are on Kendrick Meeks Email list, You got this letter too. This one is Special though because they sent it to me.-Storm
