Letter to the Editor
I am appalled at Paul Broun's recent letter to his constituents in the 10th Congressional District. For him to even begin to suggest that it is the Democrats who are now trying to raise taxes is not only absurd, but far from the truth. ...
First and foremost, the Republicans were in control of Congress for six of the almost eight years now that George W. Bush has been in office. The main reason we now find our country in such a dismal quagmire is because of the out-of control spending that has gone on to finance the war in Iraq.
BrounÂhasn't even been in office for a full term, and is already on the Republican band wagon, blaming the Democrats, when he ought to be blaming his own party, because after all, many of these out-of-control spending measures were voted on and passed under a majority rule of the Republicans. ...
Well I have a solution. It is time to increase the majority, and we can start by electing Bobby Saxon for Congress and Jim Martin for the U.S. Senate, and vote for real change by electing Barack Obama in November.
Bobby Saxon has proudlyÂserved our country in the military, both in Afghanistan and twice in Iraq. He has realÂsolutions, not justÂrhetoric, at trying to help bring about real change for the good of our country!
Why would anyone in their right minds want another four years of the last eight?! This country is in the worstÂshape it has been since the Great Depression, and it is time to once again turn it around, and get us out of the mess that the Republicans have, once again, gotten us into! Our children and grandchildrenÂshould not have to be burdened, in the future,Âby the Republicans' reckless mistakes!
