Editor,

To all of the concerned Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve and all other noise complainers, you are looking in the wrong direction. You had better start directing your energy toward replacing the inept government we have instead of getting rid of airplanes.

If we don’t get our heads out of the sand and start voting some of these career politicians out of office, you won’t need to concern yourself with airplane noise, because they will get rid of our military completely.

And whomever they sell the rest of the country to won’t care about any of your complaints.

It’s time to turn things around and get back to the government working for the people and not the people working for the government.

It amazes me that the top job in our country, the president, has term limits and yet every congressman and senator just needs to get elected one time and we own them for the rest of time, along with their families.

Let’s all get out and exercise our Constitutional right to vote for whom we want to represent us and get rid of the “good old boys club.” Let’s impose term limits on all of them so we can get fresh blood and ideas once in a while instead of the same old “Let’s pass it then read it” mentality that this current group seems to suffer from.

And lastly, anyone who has ever opened their eyes in the morning and not stopped to say “thank you” to all of our service men and women for being able to get out of bed and do whatever you choose with your life because they are out there doing what they do best to give you that right and freedom.

Thank you to all the military personnel past, present and future. Keep up the good work.

Dick Johnson
