In celebration of our nation’s birthday, thank goodness we have the freedom of speech to voice our opinions freely without prejudice.

Three cheers for Fred Thomas. I love to read his upbeat articles about President Obama. Fred understands how hard President Obama is working to undo the mess he inherited. Keep it up, Fred.

I also enjoy reading Eddie Chapa’s articles about his memories of Madera. I, along with many of my friends and family, can relate to his stories of people we have known and the differences these people have made on our city. Eddie, don’t let anyone tell you different. We want to hear from you.

I also want to applaud most of the people on the City Council for keeping politics out of our family-planned 4th of July. The tea party participants can enjoy a nice glass of iced tea and do their politics somewhere else and some other time.

Last but not least, to all the citizens and businesses of Madera who donated to the fireworks at the Municipal Golf Course, thanks for your support and generous donations. You know who you are and that’s all that matters.

Nora Salazar,
Madera
