We moved to Peachtree City

from Jonesboro a year and a half ago because of the beauty and charm of

Peachtree City. We felt it was a perfect place to raise our family. The

great schools and quality of life were exactly what we had been looking

for.

I wrote an e-mail to the mayor

and three of the city council members before the Wal-Mart vote begging

them to do what the citizens of Peachtree City want Vote No on the Wal-Mart

Supercenter. It will hurt our quality of life, impact our traffic (which

is already horrendous), create a safety hazard on a two-lane road and

hurt the small business owners.

Did they listen? No! I knew

I didn't have to e-mail Dan Tennant because he is the only city council

member with the best interest of Peachtree City at heart. Thank you, Dan!

I would much rather have our

city fight a lawsuit from Wal-Mart for not allowing them to build here,

than to just give in to pressure and allow it to happen.

Now where do we go from here?

Is there any way we can stop this tragedy from happening? Let's voice

our opposition!
