By Letters To The Editor

Published: June 20, 2008

In response to the June 16 letter of Nat Ed Hyder Jr. [ " is

better candidate " ], Charcot Marie Tooth disease is not prerequisite

nor an excuse for ' incompetence, his ignoring of 1st

District citizens' rights or playing – quite effectively – bag man to

industrial chemical interests.

That " … is a member of the Homeland Security Committee in

Congress and gets frequent Top Secret briefings about terrorism. He

is well aware of dangers that we never hear about. ... " is no

recommendation for his election. If we " never hear about these

dangers, " how are we to judge his competence?

is a family-oriented person with a background of Christian

beliefs and values that he exemplifies in his daily life. Do these

beliefs extend to the fair minimum wage or the Medicare Prescription

Drug Price Negotiation Act and against health care for children –

among the plethora of his no votes contrary to the interest of 1st

District citizens?

His hollow blathering about " … moral values and life, liberty and the

pursuit of happiness ... " is a cover that is supposed to disguise his

votes against the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act and his

introduction of the " landmark " ' resolution for American Eagle Day on

June 5, 2008. And we pay his $169,300 salary plus benefits.
