Media's scrutiny of Walker has become harassment
In a lifetime spent helping mankind, it has been my honor to know and work with countless dedicated public servants. My friend, state Sen. Charles Walker, D-Augusta, is one such public servant. I am writing today to defend him against the seemingly endless accusations that the media delights in making against him.

GOP candidate Barrett draws raves
State Rep. Gresham Barrett, R-Westminster, is by far the best candidate for Congress in South Carolina District 3. In a crowded primary with five other candidates, Mr. Barrett has both the experience and the traditional, conservative values needed to replace U.S. Rep. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

No reparations; work for what you get
Regarding William Sanders' May 16 letter, "Pay reparations," urging reparations for black Americans and people like him who want something for nothing: No one today ever owned a slave or was a slave. No one today wandered 40 years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt; nor has anyone burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither has Mr. Sanders.

Agency blasted for its unfair practices in child cases
I am writing in regard to the way the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services handles child cases, and the cruel and unfair treatment of separating families and removing children from their homes based on false reports and slander against parents. They are put through the legal system, and their children are placed with anyone - no matter what their background.

Carter editorial is 'inappropriate'
The Chronicle's May 15 editorial criticism of former President Jimmy Carter ("Enough is enough") is totally inappropriate. The poor access to the news your newspaper seems to have is really worrisome.

Augusta part of cancer coalition; politics not involved
Your May 15 editorial, "Cancer designation slips away," on the Georgia Cancer Coalition, Augusta and the process for designation of programs and centers of excellence was distressingly inaccurate.

Retiring Rep. Jack Connell did a great job for Augusta
Fiorello H. LaGuardia once said that he could run on a "laundry ticket" and beat any of his opponents. Fortunately for the Democratic Party, Rep. Jack Connell, D-Augusta, ran as a Democrat for 34 years and, like the famed New York mayor (1934-45), beat all of his opponents.
