Letter: I hope Trump supporters stop and think
I wonder what Donald Trump supporters make of the hundreds of Republicans, formerly in positions of power, who now advise them to vote for the Democratic candidate for president.

Letter: Candidates and voters both have responsibilities
For a “nation under God,” we certainly have a lot of hate speech and lies. How can we have free and fair elections when deceit is accepted? Whoever I vote for must: 1. Answer the question they are presented. 2. Not attempt to deceive or equivocate. 3. Have outgrown the need to name call. If […]
