If this does not play, contact the webmaster. News Flash!John Gray, Lexington's city manager, deceptively wrote in The Dispatch on how Lexington had given all the information we had asked for. Well John Gray, Lexington will be getting a letter from the Attorney General telling you that you are in violation of North Carolina's sunshine laws! We had a fundraiser for the fight against Lexington’s unjust forced annexation. For weeks I sold tickets in the Cow Palace and Rolling Heights area and I met many more people who are shut-ins, elderly, retired and on fixed incomes. After my last letter was published, I also discovered the generosity of my neighbors. One neighbor who asked to remain anonymous gave $100 and asked me to buy dinner plates for the shut-ins I have met. Many others donated, and -although our organization needed to raise money (because we are forced to use our own money while Lexington uses taxpayer dollars) -over 100 plates were given to the homeless shelter. These are the people the city wants to deny their right to own their own property; these are the people the city is spending your tax money to bully. Good, honest, caring people who only want their freedom. I have told the story of Tommy Cox, the retired Veteran who was wounded in Korea . His health care was Government health care (the VA) and many times I would visit him only to find he was low on medication and weeks before he would be able to get more. He had just enough money to pay his taxes and bills, yet would donate what he could because he knew that the fight against forced annexation was only a continuation of what he had fought against in Korea . The fact that the fight is here, in our own state, does not make it any different. Tommy Cox has passed away, and it is sad that he did not live to see us win our case against the city (and we will). He was a true patriot and a good friend. The inhumanity of this annexation is unbelievable. I have met so many more good people who will lose their homes if annexed that this fight is no longer about justice, it is about compassion. So many people I have met are fighting cancer and other illnesses. One lady is a nurse caring for her father on dialysis. I know 18 people on one street alone who will lose their homes if their taxes are doubled. These are people of all races and ages. Every other home on Front Street has someone who has recently lost their job. These are good, honest people who have always worked and paid their bills; they do not want charity. All they want, like all of us, is to be left alone. They do not have much, and the city will take what little they have left. The city will, as we have proven, raise the taxes for everyone to pay for this annexation. Many people will be homeless with no other place to go. This fight is no longer about taxes. It is about defending the weak. It is about fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves. It is about fighting a heartless, tax-funded, merciless inhumanity called forced annexation. Call 336-239-6926 to donate. Thank you. Keith Bost 115 Arrowhead Circle Sapona , NC 27295 336-239-6926
