Choice for U.S. president is clear

Anonymous The Goshen News Fri Oct 26, 2012, 08:56 AM EDT

May I weigh in here? For whom to vote? For what it is worth?

I plan to vote for the candidate who believes in providing the less fortunate with hand-ups and job assistance rather than life long handouts.

I plan to vote for the candidate who’s spiritual leader preaches God Bless America, not God Da** America.

I plan to vote for the candidate who has not bowed down to or who has apologized to Saudi royalty or the Muslim ayatollahs.

I will vote for the candidate who realizes that there are 50 states in our union, not 57.

I will vote for the candidate who has a record of charitable deeds and who has no connections to labor unions or Chicago politics.

I will vote for the candidate who wants to render us energy independent by using our own resources such as coal, oil and natural gas.

I will not vote for a candidate who has a history of associating himself with radicals such as the founders of the Weather Underground — a group that once planted a bomb in the Pentagon.

I will not vote for a candidate who professes that he wants to “fundamentally change these United States” by redistributing our earnings.

I will not vote for a candidate who uses the worn and tired methodology of pitting the wealthy against the poor as a divide and conquer ploy.

Nor will I vote for a candidate who has knowingly spent our United States into more debt than all of the presidents before him.

I will not vote for a candidate who has helped shut down many of our coal mines, who has denied oil drilling in our country, or who has literally thrown away billions of our tax dollars on failed “green energy” projects.

To me, the choice is clear.

Remember the amnesty law of ’86?
The “Gang of Eight” U.S. Senate members have drafted an immigration bill that’s worse then the amnesty bill signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986. S. 744 gives those here illegally instant Registered Provisional Immigrant status, which means they are free from being deported if they register for amnesty.

Don’t ignore signs of someone contemplating suicide
Everyone has issues that they have to deal with in their lives. It’s when we become overwhelmed and our issues become so drastic that they are unbearable that the results can be catastrophic. Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname
I would like to, in the most respectful way possible, respond to Mr. Chupp’s letter (The Goshen News, May 9) regarding the ongoing debate over the term “Redskins” being used as the nickname and mascot for the Goshen school system.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?

Sheriff has this reader's support
This letter is in defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and in response to Shari Mellin’s letter (The Goshen News, May 8) about Sheriff Brad Rogers not obeying the laws related to anti-gun legislation

‘Redskins’ nickname is offensive
The question posed (in the May 5 edition) was, “What’s in a Name?” In the case of the GHS (Redskins) mascot, it is insult, degradation, racism, and an ongoing slap-in-the face reminder of the disgusting manner in which my Native American ancestors were treated by Europeans.
