Mr Rachal, you knocked on my door this morning and my child answered the door (which she knows better)...instead of asking for the adult in the house (you know..the one's who are registered to vote)you gave your handout to my child. I thought it was tacky, lazy and very rude. I have not lived in Natchitoches very long and would have loved the chance to meet the incumbent being that I do not know any of the men running. But after this you showed me that knocking on doors is a chore, an afterthought and you are too lazy to meet the people who actually vote. Shame on you. Some people get too comfortable in their positions.

The only good thing I can say is the other 2 (or however many are running)have not knocked on my door yet. I hope all of you read this and realize it is tacky and lazy to talk to the "kids of the house".

Forget tacky and rude, the fact that your child is answering the door and having conversations with strangers while you are totally unaware could be downright dangerous.

Since You have not lived here very long, we will not count your vote anyway. Therefore your vote doesn't count!

If you are so lazy you let your child answer the door I'm sure the person (how do you know it was alton rachal) thought you couldn't find your way to the door. OR you were in the bathroom. In that case leaving a card shouldn't be a problem.

If he called and asked for your husband by name he must know him and wanted to talk to him. I call my friends sometimes their wives answer, I ask to speak to them and not carry on a conversation with the wife. Some men don't like other men talking to their wives. He could have lost two votes. As is he may have only lost one.

I'm not taking up for him. I think it's time for him to move aside but the other two running are like those idiots running for president. There's not much of a choice.

Bankston came to my door. No smile on his face. He was not friendly at all. I will NOT vote for him.

YOUR WRONG. IF YOUR RUNNING FOR SOME SORT OF OFFICE AT LEAST HAVE THE MATTERS TO SPEAK KNOWING WHO BOTH PEOPLE WERE LIVING IN THAT HOUSEHOLD. YES HE LOST TWO VOTES.
TO BE HONEST THAT JOB NEEDS TO BE DONE AWAY WITH ANYWAY. SEEMS NO ONE CAN TELL ANYONE WHAT THEY REALLY DO. EXCEPT GO OUT AND EAT!

they are in charge of security for the city court. They should serve subpoenas, collect fines, handle civil matters (repo cars, foreclosures, etc). They are supposed to serve bench warrants issued by the city judge.
I think they only do security for the court and collect fines. they shoud relieve the pressure on the police department by serving their own subpoena and making their own arrests on bench warrants. They can also enforce city ordinences and write traffic tickets.BUt they don't for some reason.

ALTON DOES NOTHING.....THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RELIEVE ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY. IT IS A DEAD HEAD JOB. THE CITY NPD AND THE SHERIFFS DEPT. DOES IT ALL. CITY MARSHALL JOB SHOULD HAD BEEN DONE AWAY WITH YEARS AGO. THAT IS MONEY THAT COULD BE USED ELSEWHERE.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING TO ME WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO DO.AND YOU DID UNDERSTAND 'SUPPOSE'?

The child is 10 years old, and I was walking down the foyer. If I were unaware of the incident I would not have written about today dumb ass.

Oh I did not realize that was a question on the voter registration card that I filled out. Thanks for the intelligent and insightful remark.

I got your back upset voter. You are exactly right. That man was probably glad your 10 year old answered the door. He got to say, "hey I came by", but got to get away before he actually had to spend the time talking to you.

Some of these politicans don't realize that we the voters actually have questions for them and look forward to their visits.

I knock on your door three times and waited for you for fifteen minutes, Your kids said something to the effect that your were taking a dump and eating fried chicken? Hell what happen? you lose the Butt wipe? Eating fried chicken while dumping? I was glad to get the heck away from there you may have wanted to shake my hand. Did you wash them? I could see you waddling down the hall way with chicken crumbs all over your mouth. Your vote don't matter any way.

So it's Alton's fault you're to lazy to get off the couch and answer the door yourself?
Sheesh...when are you folks going to start taking responsibility for YOUR OWN ACTIONS?
No, it is Alton Rachal's fault that he is too lazy to do his job and talk to the voters instead of the children.

Daily Horoscope for December 9

Scorpio

If something is bothering you, it's important that you say so now, loudly and clearly. It's no good bottling things up any longer because that will only lead to resentment and a slow-burning anger. However, it's important that you know when to shut up too, otherwise you might overstate your case or sound so demanding that you turn others against you.
