We strongly recommend that you attach the highest priority to developing and implementing a strategic energy policy that has a long-term, commonsense vision and the full attention of our national leadership. Energy fuels our competitiveness in the world economy and supports our quality of life.

I had property for sale by owner advertised in the SNAP. Prospects responded by sending their relatives to take photographs. Then they secured a real estate agent to negotiate a possible purchase.

Polls are very accurate; one year ago, polls said Senator Clinton would be nominated for president.

They don’t judge you by what you wear. They have activities for youth and young children to be involved in the church and know and love God.

Each participating biker received an American Flag in observance of Flag Day to place on his bike. There was a great turnout of first timers and repeaters for this event.

He would have been honored and humbled by the July 8 edition of The SNAP.

The most recent surveys we have read about in the SNAP are about the proposed takeover of the Yadkin Power Project on our great Yadkin-Pee Dee River.

Water Rights Committee, I wanted to share with you our reaction: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:17:00 +0000 http://www.thesnaponline.com/letters/local_story_189111823.html http://www.thesnaponline.com/letters/local_story_189111823.html It was refreshing to see the poll in the SNAP showing that North Carolina voters reject the state takeover of Alcoa. They are showing a better understanding of some basic economic principles than some of our local government officials.

Her concerns are valid, she may consider contacting City Manager Ray Allen to address this matter.

This is so inconvenient for those of us that are handicapped.
