Anti-Snow Campaign

March 21st, 2008 at 01:42pm Kerry Burd

Hello everyone,

I’ve never “blogged” before, but here goes….

My understanding is that we are to use this forum to express our viewpoints, and initiate online conversations about a variety of issues facing the Rockford area community. As I write this, we are once again being pummelled by a snowstorm. It is March 21st. Yesterday was the first day of spring.

I would like to propose that our mayor work in collaboration with our city coucil and area meteorologists to do something about this snow situation. We’ve had enough already. We are running out of salt, our backs are aching, and it is very difficult to play golf with snow on the ground. It is time to put an end to this nonsense.

It is time to begin an anti-snow campaign. If our leaders can’t put an end to this snow and bring in some warmer weather & sunshine, then let’s elect some leaders who can. Who’s with me?

    Welcome, Kerry, to the blogging world. Let’s say in our campaign that we’ll protest if, indeed, it snows after April 15. Have a great, if snowy, weekend!

    Dare I say it? Sue Al Gore!!! Global warming is clearly a hoax. Otherwise I’d still be enjoying a drive home in 45 degree weather.

    I’ll make the picket signs and be ready to march.
