Carson boosters, families thank community for support, donations

To the Carson City community,

On behalf of the Carson High School Football Boosters, Carson High School, the Anderson family and the Aiazzi family, we would like to thank the community for your generous donations and support during the "Celebration of Life" for Keegan Aiazzi and Stephen Anderson which took place on Saturday, April 16, 2011.

We all have suffered a tragic loss but with the support that has been shown during these difficult times, we are hopeful that we can all come together as a stronger community and football team family.

Donations are still being accepted through the Carson High School Football Boosters.

Thank you again for your support.

Writer would rather be jailed

than pay another penny in taxes

I refuse to pay one more penny in taxes to the federal government. I found out that HR3 will fail in the U.S. Senate. HR3 is the no taxpayer funding for abortions act.

They can put me in jail, flog me, take everything I have. I won't pay. How can I live with myself knowing I pay to end the lives of the unborn?

I probably stand alone in my decision. America is populated with pro-lifers who talk but are unwilling to take risks.

They march, protest at abortion clinics, join pro-life groups, write books, start websites, but they are unwilling to risk even a day incarcerated for a basic right - the right to be born.
