It will endanger our childrens safety and also make it easy for our minors to purchase beer and wine (Lets be honest with ourselves, all of our merchants do not adhere to the laws of the land, there is always that one bad apple). We need to try to keep our city safe for the children's sake. Let us not make them victims and face the consequences of a bad decision we made as adults, when this can be avoided.

If someone wants to buy a six-pack, they generally take it home before consuming it. Then if they overindulge, it is their own problem. I would tend to agree that allowing a beer joint which sold nothing but beer and wine for on-premise consumption might not be as desirable for Cedar Hill as the tax revenue it would bring in.

Why would the city of Cedar Hill want to "whore" itself out to the beer and wine establishment all in the name of "generating revenue?" What a poor argument for those who support such a measure. The degradation of our city that would ensue would be its eventual demise, leaving Cedar Hill to follow in the footsteps of Duncanville and Grand Prairie - the "armpits" of the metroplex! Who can deny that the refuse, "riff-raff" and crime associated with these establishments would rob Cedar Hill of its 'Quality of Life'. Ask yourself, "What's next?" Adult bookstores? Where will it end? Support me in defeating this measure (idea) before it ever comes to fruition.

I strongly believe, it would greatly decrease the quality of life as we know it. There would be an increase in crime and loitering. As it has been witnessed in several other communities around the metroplex. Not only will this invite negative attention it will also create a tense atmosphere for many in the community. Please do not appove… I am totally against the selling of beer, wine, or any alcoholic beverages in Cedar Hill. I strongly believe, it would greatly decrease the quality of life as we know it.

Not to mention the risk of more drunk drivers and our youths having more assessibility to alcohol. Cedar Hill is a beautiful city and we love it here, but if it becomes a dumpy looking place like a lot of other communities become when people don't care about where they live and how their city looks we will surely relocate. Our city represents the people who lives here, the question is how do we want to be represented. We can easily go to other neighbor hoods and see what's happening there and see if tf the sales of liquor has been a positive or a negative for their communities. So we say "NO" to the sale of liquor.

When my family and i moved to Cedar Hill , we were fortunate enough to purchase our property on Tranquility ln. Tranquility means to be free from agiatation or disturbance: Quiet serene, placid and peaceful. I have experience that tranquil atmosphere in our commuinity for the last five years. I strongly believe the sales of beer & wine would filter our community with neg ative traffic and provide an unwholesome environment for our great city. THE CITY OF CEDAR HILL THAT REACH DOWN, NOT LOOK DOWN, TO LIFT YOU UP! I’m totally against the sales of beer & wine.

Two reasons for moving to Cedar Hill were the sense of security and the quality of life that I believed that this city offered to me and my family. It is my belief that allowing the sale of beer, wine and liquor will decrease our sense of security. Any one that will research the effect the these drinks have on a community will discover that drinking and driving is a major concern. And I believe that it will be no different for Cedar Hill. Money will never be more important than the safety of our children. I am the mother of two young children.

Passing a law to legalize alcohol is but a catalist for the increase of crime that already exists! It seems sensless that the sale of alcohol would seem to be more benifitial to our community than extending the public transportation lines out to our area.
