Help!

Governor Sanford,

I am one of the millions of South Carolinians whom you serve, and as a result I will be directly affected by your refusal to allow the Federal government to do what they think is best to help us at this time when we are most in need of their help. While I agree that it sure would be nice to pay off some of the state’s accrued debt, I have to ask: Is now the best time to dig one’s heels in over the issue? While you may not personally be in this situation, the majority of us are in no position to refuse help from anyone for any reason. Judging from that fact (yes, I believe it is a fact), I’m not sure you have the best interests of those whom you serve in mind at this point.
I am perhaps more directly affected by this because I am a public school teacher. The damage that your refusal to accept the Federal Stimulus money will do to the well-being of my family is huge, as I’m sure it will be to countless others, who I must reiterate, you serve. How do I explain to my three young children that they can’t go to the doctor or get the medicine they need because Daddy lost his insurance along with his job? And all because the Governor wanted to have the peace of mind of knowing that the state government’s financial situation is a bit better than it was? I’m not sure they’ll get it, because they are 6, 4 and 3. I’m 30, and I don’t get it.
As a taxpaying South Carolinian and an experienced teacher, I am begging you to consider the well-being of your state’s citizens when making your decision. I am in agreement that I just don’t know how much this stimulus package will really do to right the ship, but I am fully aware of the damage that will be done by refusing the money, especially considering the fact that we will be held responsible for it regardless. You know more about politics than I do, but the way I look at it, there’s no upside to choosing this moment, when we need it most, to steadfastly refuse help when it is offered. Thanks for your time.

Most sincerely,
Albert J. Knuckley
