TIME TO TAKE ACTION

Editor:

I for one am sick and tired of the drug houses and crime in our 
community. It's time for the citizens of merritt to stand up and 
fight this problem.

Maybe it is time for a town hall meeting or some way to get together 
to figure out what has to be done, because something definitely has 
to be done. We need to have representatives of city council, the 
police, the justice system, our MP's and the community to come 
together and figure out a solution to this problem.

We can no longer accept this criminal activity in our town nor can we 
accept the trivial punishment being handed out to these criminals. 
It's time to lobby whoever it is we have to to get this problem fixed.

If all the participants listed above could meet, I'm sure we could 
figure out a way to approach this problem that would bring our 
community a solution. We deserve better then we are getting, and more 
importantly our children deserve better then they have coming if we 
don't end this now.
