Friday Letter to the Editor
It’s time for U.S. to leave Afghanistan
I believe that the war in Afghanistan is illegal (Congress has never declared war) and immoral. It appears that the reason we want a presence in Afghanistan is to oversee the mining of the precious and rare metals hidden beneath the ground.
We have become the bully of the world, and it is extremely unattractive politically. We need to have diplomatic solutions, and we need to respect the sovereignty of other nations. We need to get out of Afghanistan now.

 Tell President Obama we’ve had enough. It's time to stop all new drilling on our coasts.
Enough already.
Since last week's oil drilling disaster off the Louisiana coast, it's been discovered that the well is spewing five times as much oil into the ocean as originally estimated, 210,000 gallons of oil each day - and no end is in sight.
This is expected to become one of the largest oil disasters in North American history.1
Our hearts go out to the eleven families who lost their loved ones in the oil-rig explosion.
This is a tragedy, this is avoidable and this needs to stop -- oil is dirty, dangerous, and deadly.
Join us in telling the Obama Administration that we've had enough - it's time to halt all proposals for more oil drilling off our coasts.

In a move set to further shock rate payers, the South Carolina Public Service Commission on Thursday, April 29, opened a docket in which SCE&G states that it intends to file a rate increase within a month for its costly nuclear project. Under the law, the Baseload Review Act, which forces customers to pay in advance for the nuclear project, the increase could be around 2.8%.
