Dear Editor:

   The saying, "Keep doing what you've always done, and you'll keep getting what you've always gotten" is true. Continue voting Republicrat, and continue the corruption, erosion of The Bill of Rights, declining quality of education, the increasing cost of medical care, the destruction of our environment, increasing waste of taxpayer money, increasing deficit, pork, invasion of privacy, destroying our image as a nation, stealing of private property to give to private corporations, endless bloating of bureaucracy, and abuse of power.

   This is only a short list! Do something different! Research the third party alternatives! Reject the propaganda that wrongly says it's a wasted vote. Interest in and a vote for a third party lends strength, encouragement, and growth to them. Open your minds, and allow yourself to see a world that embraces freedom and personal responsibility and encourages a truly free market where honest people are allowed to trade freely and openly. Imagine a world where government operates only within the limits of the Constitution! Now there's a novel idea!

   Let's get the politicians out of government. People like you and me are as capable, maybe more capable, than the aristocrats and lawyers who supposedly "represent" us. Third parties want to elect people, not politicians. Real people understand real life. Politicians set their sights on the next election, and work toward that end at any cost, regardless of the law or ethical responsibility. People do not have to have an Ivy League education to govern. The Constitution outlines the qualifications for public office. Being a politician is not one of them.

   Continue voting Demopublican and continue the status quo. Open your minds and change what is wrong and rotten in the United States! It will not be easy and it will not happen overnight. The world will never by perfect but it can be a whole lot better.
