Letters to the editor: Grassroots' campaign

Letter to the Editor

Grassroots campaign

There was a day when the American public set the limits on behavior and where the lines of class and conversation were. Enter Washington and Hollywood. I'm guessing something is out of control. I have never done this before, but I want to start a grassroots push.

Tony Dungy is beautiful. As great as he is in my eyes — I've never met him — I think he would make a great commissioner for the National Football League. I also think Bob Costas is more in touch with baseball than anyone I've ever known. "Bob Ball" for commish of Major League Baseball.

What passion these men have for life, their fellow man and their profession.

Romney right choice

Your reporting on the upcoming election has suggested that Mitt Romney is likely to be the Republican nominee. What may not be as clear to readers are the reasons Romney, and not another candidate, is the right man to lead our country at this moment.

Our economy is under assault from President Obama's efforts to transform it into a European-style welfare state. While other candidates have spent their lives in government as the beneficiaries of taxpayer dollars, only Romney has led a successful career helping new companies get started and producing thousands of jobs. Further, his success in business and command of the issues make him the candidate most likely to defeat Barack Obama in November. And when it comes to foreign policy, Romney is proud of America's greatness. Romney is the right choice for our state and nation.

Paul can restore nation

As a frequent reader who has followed your reporting on the election, I write to share information that has been missing in your coverage. Your readers deserve to know that Rep. Ron Paul offers the only responsible choice for restoring our state and nation to greatness.

While both President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney have supported bailouts and unaffordable health care plans, only Paul has stood steadfast in his commitment to free enterprise. Paul will eliminate our foreign entanglements that have plundered American blood and treasure. And only Paul is committed to ending the "nanny state" that seeks to have government dictate every aspect of our lives.

Our economy and country can only be restored when government gives individuals back responsibility for their own lives. I urge everyone to vote for Ron Paul.
