THE REAL TULIA

Re: "Tulia Justice - State should pursue West Texas case," Aug. 29. I stay
in the metroplex several weeks a year, but I am a 30-year resident of Tulia.

My favorite newspaper is The Dallas Morning News. But I am totally
disgusted about all the media our town has received for two long years.
Negative media - three articles in one week.

Mr. Editor, I am personally inviting you into my home for a week's stay to
investigate the story of the drug bust for yourself. In doing so, you must
attend church with me, go to the town's favorite restaurant, eat lunch at
the senior citizens place, go to a ball game, enter any of three banks,
walk down any street, visit City Hall and the county courthouse, even the
sheriff's office. Then you may print an unbiased article of "Our Town."

The people you interview seem to always be the guilty party, not the
jurors, the judge, the bailiff, the policemen, the mayor or the state
troopers who have had to deal with a group of individuals who like to wreck
our town, sell drugs, disobey the law and then use the American Civil
Liberties Union to laugh at the rest of us.
