Coming Together in the Wiregrass

Maybe it's just me, but have anyone else noticed that the Wiregrass was always looked over or looked upon differently when it came to State issues and Funds. Now with issues that we've been pushing like ex-felon voting rights and Ron Gilley with Country Crossing, Dothan and the Wiregrass are being looked upon in a different light. When just approximately a year and a half ago we had to literally fight to get funds for Enterprise High School and had become the new Katrina ( on a small scale ).
It might just be time for all of us to use this opportunity to form some cohesiveness amongst ourselves and come together like we did for Enterprise and the children on Christmas Eve and realize that there's no big car dealerships and major corporations here like other places in Alabama.
So Country Crossing will open up doors of opportunity for ECONOMIC stability that I've never seen in the Wiregrass, how about you?
I met Ron Gilley some years ago when Katrina hit and him and his crew were helping the people down there while we were feeding folks. Then again when Enterprise got hit real hard and the poorest neighborhood was hurt. He rebuilded the houses and helped the people like the story of the Good Samaritan in the Bible. It did'nt matter that it was a Samaritan or how he got the money ( legally ) did it? The act of doing for God's people was enough for God to make sure we know the story!

So let's take note Wiregrass, because of some of these issues and others like mostly all the African Americans voting THE SAME WAY for Bobby Bright ( that's the first time that's ever happened also, Thanks Dr. Earl Jones ). We now have a Convention Center, and Empowerment Center to go along with our Civic Center and other help agencies ( thank you to Ron Wilson ), so it's only befitting that we have Country Crossing which would bring alot of Tourist, Celeberties, Opportunities, and Revenue to the Wiregrass who's been looked over and passed by for years. Then we can buy our cars from our new Mayor, Mike Schmitz and be like everyone else in Alabama.
Question: Could that be why it's being fought against by those outside the Wiregrass Hmm! but they did go against Sen. Smith so I'm not surprised.
Let's Come Together Wiregrass!
