Billy Joe Fudge: We will rise up

'We will rise up with our phones. We will rise up with our computers. We will rise up with our pen and paper. We will rise up until those in Frankfort and if need be Washington, launch an investigation into what appears to be, in the absence of a credible explanation, collusion.' - Billy Joe Fudge

Personal Commentary

Vicki, you said it, "Seriously folks, this is wrong."

And it seems that you are right about it being "wrong," especially in light of decades of silence from the distributors who serve Columbia/Adair County. If there is a credible explanation, we the people of Columbia/Adair County deserve to hear it.



However and in light of that silence and the lack of an explanation, I submit that it is just as wrong as going into each car owners' home, your home and my home and digging in the wife's purse and taking $2.00 or opening the husband's wallet and taking out a $5.00 bill. It is just as wrong as going into a trucker's sleeper and digging around until the company credit card is found and running that thing for an extra $20.00.

And what is so very convincing is that, all at once, the price of gas in Campbellsville is the same price as gas in Columbia. Before my first dissertation last weekend the price of gas in Campbellsville was higher than in Columbia. I would like to know what changed? I would like to know why, out of the clear blue, the price of gas was equalized between the two communities? Could it be that when the Attorney General gets a couple hundred phone calls Monday morning that those who are manipulating the price, want to be able to say to the AG's office when they inquire, "We don't know what the people in Columbia/Adair County are talking about"?

To those who have given no explanation for this continuing dilemma, we want you to know that the people of Columbia/Adair County are big enough to handle the truth. We are big enough to pay extra if there is a credible reason for us to do so. We are big enough to zip our lips, take it like a man so to speak and dig deep to do the right thing should we be given a credible explanation.

But until that credible explanation is given we will rise up. We will rise up with our phones. We will rise up with our computers. We will rise up with our pen and paper. We will rise up until those in Frankfort and if need be Washington, launch an investigation into what appears to be, in the absence of a credible explanation, collusion. - Billy Joe Fudge
