Show Government of the people Dear Editor: All my life I have leaned toward the Democratic party because I felt they were more for the common man. Successive political events have destroyed that belief. I believe in a government of the people not in a government over the people. The Democratic platform embraces everything I do NOT believe in: Liberal spending that has led to inflation; in-flation; ERA; mass killing of helpless infants with compulsive taxpayer, subsidy; alienating faithful allies; ignorning national defense. President Theodore Roosevelt said, "Speak softly but carry a big stick." Patric Henry said, "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" The destruction of free enterprise; federal control of all the waters and the land, private and otherwise; gun control, (one of Russia's first steps in subjecting its people) ; allowing Russia to remain a member of the United Nation after Attacking Afghanistan; giveaway of our Panama Canal and giving the Panamanians the necessary funding to control it. ..and on and on. ..Uncle Sam has become a tired old man and a spineless one at that. All the people who are receiving government handouts should vote Democratic. All the people who are working to pay for those handouts should vote Republican. Sincerely, DOROTHY LUCK PELTIER |
