CommunityConcerns: GFP’s Listing Policy
In the spirit of a TRUE DEMOCRACY, Gilmer Free Press DOES list submissions as Anonymous.
Based on hundreds of correspondences to Gilmer Free Press stating concerns about the existing community political atmosphere, we feel it is important to do this as a service to our readers and for greater good of our community.
Citizens have shown concern and are afraid of possible retaliation to them and or their family members if and when they express their true opinion.
We feel it is so sad, especially in a little piece of this Great America, that these feelings have been created in our community whether it is true or not.
It is not a good idea to create any more obstacles for the taxpaying citizens than already is.
There has also been a BIG FAILURE to inform our citizens by local media by catering specific groups and we feel everyone needs to work hard to change this.
Additionally, when community leaders fail to answer the community concerns and respond to their questions openly, they are absolutely not helping the cause. They are actually making matters worse.
In order for a submission to be posted anonymously, Gilmer Free Press DOES require, the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, if any, from the authors.
This information will not post and will be kept confidential by Gilmer Free Press.
All the conditions set forth in GFP’s Site Policy always apply.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
