I did not know so many people read "hccitizen" until I had people telling me
that is exactly the way they feel. Seems like a lot of people have the same
feeling I do concerning the run off election.

Citizens in district 2 need to know exactly what they want in a

commissioner, & aim to see the right person elected.

As I said before........... Please get out and VOTE!

Vote wisely!

And I thank you, as this old red neck country boys point of view.

Fred Auletta

The Citizen has provided several articles and commentaries about Mr. Fred Auletta, candidate for Henry BoC District 2,
regarding Tax Allocation Districts.

RESPONSE by Fred Auletta

Larry,

I understand your continued desire for me to explain my position on TAD's so I am writing you to clarify this issue. My
initial statements during the Ray McBerry interview in mid-September were that TAD's could be a “tool in the tool box”
for economic development”. I wish you had considered my later and more complete response to the Chamber's written
and taped question on TAD's.

The Chamber gave 50 words or one minute to express an opinion on a very complex subject. In reality, the issue was
better suited for a town hall, or a question-and-answer type meeting. There was not enough time for a thorough dialog
on the subject, just merely a yes or no response without much explanation. I did reply in the Chamber Forum that I was
disappointed the parties that wished for this to be a ballot referendum had done little to educate the citizens on the
subject (and voters had already started advanced voting).

In your Citizen #228 you say, ”Then the voters said NO in a resounding voice. And Auletta began saying TADs are a
no n-issue." In reality, I gave the above opinion at the Chamber Forum before, not after, our citizens voted. After that
forum your and other people’s analysis brought up many valid questions/issues on the subject. At the forum I also stated
that the TADs issue was being handled much like Nancy Pelosi saying vote for the Health Care Bill to see what it is in it.
Her statement was just plain stupid, and that way of doing business is not the way for elected officials or citizens to vote
on referendums. My answer to Ray's question was honest and based on what I knew at the time. Nowhere in my initial
research did I interpret passage as taxing the citizens of Henry County or making government bigger. I subscribe to
Thomas Jefferson’s view that” government is best which governs least”.

I also subscribe to the Tea Party beliefs of government being fiscally responsible and operating as a constitutionally
limited government. As Commissioner I will always seek input to make the most informed decisions, with an overriding
objective to not over-tax the citizens or grow government.

Larry, research is an ongoing process which I learned as an auditor when I started my business career. I have carried
that into my business and personal life on issues that demand a thoughtful decision. The key is gathering information
and differing opinions. Opinions and comments in the Citizen were well-considered regarding non-support of TAD’s,
which reinforced my further statement that the last way to pass something in today’s world is to put the word “Tax” in it
and expect it to pass without any knowledge of what it’s about; and it did not.

I have the dedication and experience to be a well-informed, deliberate county commissioner. I further believe in less
government, not more, and in absolute commitment to ensuring our citizens’ taxes are used wisely and cost effectively.
I truly appreciate your invitation to allow me a voice on "The Citizen Newsletter" regarding this issue.

Again, thanks, and best wishes,

Fred Auletta
Candidate, Henry BoC District 2

Austin Scott Elected Freshman Class President

by Paul Rea

Republicans in the U.S. House met yesterday and selected Congressman Elect from the 8th District
Austin Scott to lead the very large class of 2011 GOP freshmen.

Scott is quoted in the Washington Post this morning. He says he's proud to have been elected and will do all he can to
help his party's efforts to address voters' concerns about the economy.

"We understand that jobs and the economy should be the focus of this Congress and that's what we intend to work on."
Just after the November 2nd General Election, Reps. John Boehner and Eric Cantor sent Scott and the other Freshmen a
letter explaining that the newly elected members would play a much larger role in party leadership.

“The incoming GOP freshman class for the 112th Congress is no ordinary freshman class, and this is no ordinary time for
our nation,” the letter to newly elected lawmakers read. “Accordingly, the incoming GOP freshman class will have a
larger voice at the leadership table and on the Steering Committee than previous GOP freshman classes in previous
Congresses. In addition, there are various other non-elected roles in which freshmen can participate which we look
forward to discussing with you during orientation.”

Wednesday Boehner and Cantor were nominated as speaker of the house and majority leader while incoming freshmen
Kristi Noem of South Dakota and Tim Scott of South Carolina were selected to join the Elected Leadership Committee, an
important decision-making body in the House Republican Conference. Noem will join conference vice chairwoman Cathy
McMorris Rodgers of Washington as the second woman on the GOP’s leadership team.

What District Two Needs

I have watched the candidates for District 2 for some time now and this is the way I see it. District 2 encompasses most
of the Western side of Henry County. This side has a diverse population from a few farmlands to the newest subdivisions
to one of the largest raceways in the South (Atlanta Motor Speedway).

What District 2 does not have is sound Roads in good repair. This creates problems as far as traffic backups and
accidents that cause injury to people. District 2 also needs high end manufacturing jobs that would create other jobs in
the area so people don’t have to travel so much to get to work. However these two things are tied together because if
you don’t have good Roads to get employees to work why would a company build or open a business in district 2?

District 2 is growing and whenever you have growth crime will increase so it would be good to have a police station some
place in district 2. This would cut down in response times and help deter crime.

With the hard economic times we are in district 2 looks like a wasteland in places. I am talking about the South Point
Mall area on Hwy 20 West. Some of the stores have had to pull out of the project because of money problems. So why
do we need to start another big mall on Jodeco Rd before South Point is finished? This is due to a lack of leadership at
the Commissioner level that district 2 has been lacking for some time.

District 2 is also rich in County history and this needs to be preserved so children can see how this district played it’s role
in making Henry County so great. It ranges from the Civil War to King Cotton to the Railroad; district 2 is thick with
history that must be saved, especially rich in old family names.

District 2 is the first part of the County to get bad weather when it comes from the West. Remember the tornado that
struck at AMS a few years back. We need more weather warning sirens in that area so more people will be informed of
bad weather that comes from Clayton County in order to save lives.

Both candidates in the runoff are businessmen and most businessmen look at one thing and that is the bottom line. If a
County Commissioner does this, then the people will suffer because they may get hit with higher taxes to help the
bottom line. District 2 needs a Commissioner that knows the district like the back of his hand and has the heart to care
about it like it was his own. The Commissioner must also demonstrate management skills second to no one in order to
manage the assets of district 2 with caring and compassion for the people and not the bottom line.

District 2 needs a Commissioner born and raised in the district someone that cares about the land and the people that
live there. That is why I am convinced that Herman Talmadge III is the best and only choice for district 2.

D-2 Race Is Heating Up

The editorial Fred Auletta or Herman Talmadge III Who to vote for? By TheDoctor was posted at Henry Neighbor website:
http://hen.nn.marietta.new.adqic.com/stories/Fred-Auletta-or-Herman-Talmadge-III-Who-to-vote-for,165736?

Robin Earnest wrote: The TAD needs to become a non issue, not just in 2010 but in 2012. We do not need any other
current sitting commissioners to have the power of this tool in their tool box. I for ONE of many do not trust them with
this amount of power.

It does not matter of past allegations against the other side. All that really does matters is this; Who will speak for the
citizens as if their life and LAND depended upon it?
 I vote Talmadge on that! He understands the average land owners dilemma against the county and their ever non
ending desire to steam role over the well established home owners and their property. There you have it. I support
Herman Talmadge III, He I feel and think will listen to the average citizen when is said and done at the end of each day.

Solution to Airport Security Privacy

This has got to be one of the greatest ideas I've heard...and I'm
sure that someone could figure out how to do it!

Here's a simple solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at

airports.

Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but, instead of

X-raying them, when the door closes, it will detonate any explosive
device they have hidden on or in their body. The explosion will be
contained within the sealed booth. This would be a win-win for everyone!

There would be no concern about racial profiling. The booth would

eliminate long, expensive trials.

You're in the airport and you hear a muffled explosion, followed by an

announcement over the PA system, "Attention standby passengers, we now
have a seat available on flight number ____"

What's not to like?

Hey Fellow Citizens….. I love the good folks of Henry County. I love the
local newspaper, The Times.
Henry County Times

Hey Henry, McDonough City Council elections happen in 2011. Positions

pending election are: 1 - CM at large; 1 CM District 3 and 1 CM District 4. Now
is the time to watch the process and pay attention to issues that will come to
vote. The Council is developing the 2011 Budget and will discuss if a tax
increase is appropriate. Everything voted on effects your home, business, your
economic growth or your health and welfare. Get involved.

Hey Henry, can we borrow Gwinnett county D.A. Danny Porter and his
grand jury to look into some of our county transactions?

Hey Henry, the Veterans Day ceremony at the Veterans Wall of Honor in
Heritage Park was a wonderful tribute to all who have served, are currently
serving, and those who have died to protect the freedoms we enjoy each and
every day in this wonderful country. Thanks to everyone involved in making the
day so special and thanks again to all of the men and women of our Armed
Forces. GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE!

Democrats proved that they learned nothing from the election by selecting
Nancy Pelosi to serve as their Minority Leader in the 112th Congress.

Guess Who?
By Thomas Sowell. Tuesday, November 2, 2010

Guess who said the following: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before
and it does not work." Was it Sarah Palin? Rush Limbaugh? Karl Rove?

Not even close. It was Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury under Franklin D. Roosevelt and one of
FDR's closest advisers. He added, "after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as
when we started. . . And an enormous debt to boot!"

This is just one of the remarkable and eye-opening facts in a must-read book titled "New Deal or Raw Deal?" by
Professor Burton W. Folsom, Jr., of Hillsdale College.

Ordinarily, what happened in the 1930s might be something to be left for historians to be concerned about. But the very
same kinds of policies that were tried-- and failed-- during the 1930s are being carried out in Washington today, with
the advocates of such policies often invoking FDR's New Deal as a model.

Franklin D. Roosevelt blamed the country's woes on the problems he inherited from his predecessor, much as Barack
Obama does today. But unemployment was 20 percent in the spring of 1939, six long years after Herbert Hoover had
left the White House.

Whole generations have been "educated" to believe that the Roosevelt administration is what got this country out of the
Great Depression. History text books by famous scholars like Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., of Harvard and Henry Steele
Commager of Columbia have enshrined FDR as a historic savior of this country, and lesser lights in the media and
elsewhere have perpetuated the legend.

Although Professor Schlesinger admitted that he had little interest in economics, which did not stop him from making
sweeping statements about what a great economic achievement the New Deal was.

Professors Commager and Morris of Columbia likewise declared: "The character of the Republican ascendancy of the
twenties had been pervasively negative; the character of the New Deal was overwhelmingly positive." Anyone unfamiliar
with the history of that era might never suspect from such statements that the 1920s were a decade of unprecedented
prosperity and the 1930s were a decade of the deepest and longest-lasting depression in American history. But facts
have taken a back seat to rhetoric.

In more recent years, there have been both academic studies and popular books debunking some of the myths about
the New Deal. Nevertheless, Professor Folsom's book "New Deal or Raw Deal?" breaks new ground. Although written by
an academic scholar and based on years of documented research, it is as readable as a newspaper-- and a lot more
informative than most.

There are few historic events whose legends are more grossly different from the reality than the New Deal
administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. And there are few men whose image has been more radically different from the
man himself.

Some of the most devastating things that were said about FDR were not said by his political enemies but by people who
worked closely with him for years-- Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau being just one. Morgenthau saw not
only the utter failure of Roosevelt's policies, but also the failure of Roosevelt himself, who didn't even know enough
economics to realize how little he knew.

Far from pulling the country out of the Great Depression by following Keynesian policies, FDR created policies that
prolonged the depression until it was more than twice as long as any other depression in American history. Moreover,
Roosevelt's ad hoc improvisations followed nothing as coherent as Keynesian economics. To the extent that FDR
followed the ideas of any economist, it was an obscure economist at the University of Wisconsin, who was disdained by
other economists and who was regarded with contempt by John Maynard Keynes.

President Roosevelt's strong suit was politics, not economics. He played the political game both cleverly and ruthlessly,
including using both the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service to harass and intimidate his critics and opponents.

It is not a pretty story. But we need to understand it if we want to avoid the ugly consequences of very similar policies
today.

Doctor, Doctor Tell Me The News - I Got A Bad Case Of wanting The Truth

For those of you that have read articles written by The Doctor you know he can write as few other people can. At times
he can write as our founding Fathers did back in the day. And sometimes he writes as a big brother would. And then
there are times he can write like a Minister from the Church up the road. To read his articles is to take a trip back in
time and to make you think of what he is saying and wants to convey to you.

This takes a very special person in my book and Doc is in deed very special not only to me as a cousin and next-door
neighbor but as a friend that enlightens my life. What he is doing by writing the articles is trying to enlighten the County
as a whole so as to make the County he loves better for all of us. If he writes something about you and you think he is
attacking you, which is not the case, he is trying to get you to see a different direction so you then will ask questions
and enlighten yourself so you can make an informed decision.

Remember when I said that Doc is very special to me well he is very special to you and the County. All of the articles he
writes is being done by a man that is very sick with Lupus and a host of heart problems and a bad back that he has
broken twice. And then there are the seven blood clots 5 in the lungs and 2 in the legs. With all his problems he still
gets up and writes so as to help us all out, that is love that he is showing us all. I just wish all of us would see it and not
be blinded by your own greed. The day we are no longer blinded by that greed is the day we are truly enlighten by what
Doc has written about for these years.

Doc is a one of a kind man he has knowledge beyond our scope of thought and he has used it to help all of mankind on
this Earth. We all owe a debt to him and others that we can never repay. And yet you never here him talk about it much
sure every so often he will slip something in to see if you are paying attention to what he writes, often times I will be
the only one to see it and ask questions. We talked about that tonight, about asking questions. How are you to know
anything if you don’t ask questions about it. I told him that sometimes when I ask questions on something I get looks
like I am a three-headed toad with horns because of my way of thinking. He said that people who look at you that way
are being one sided and needs to open their mind to other possibilities in that subject you are asking questions about.
So please read Doc’s articles with an open mind and you may be enlightened a little bit by a man that loves us all and is
trying to help us be better people as a whole.

Doc is always coming up with surprises on me he did one last night. He has been studying for some time now and had
finished and took his test and he got the results. He fulfilled a promise to his Grandmother to become an ordained
Minister. Congratulations Doc!!

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts to you about Doc.

The Michael & Linda Moon Van Fund

Most of you know that Mike & Linda Moon’s van was stolen from the Wal-Mart parking lot in Stockbridge two weeks
ago. The van was needed to transport Mike and his wheelchair. Without it the family is placed in a real situation of
need.

It was a 1986 Chevy van and they had only liability insurance. No word of discovery has come from the police. We
must consider the vehicle a loss.

Several people have expressed a desire to help raise money to replace the van. This is a call to join that effort.

Please consider donating in whatever amount you can. Donations can be made online through The Citizen – all
proceeds collected will be used solely for this Fund.

Click on the Donate button and use your PayPal account, or Use your credit card or bank account.

Thank you for helping our friends in this time of need.
