Tom Stump is a man of integrity

Anonymous The Goshen News Wed Oct 24, 2012, 08:00 AM EDT

It is apparent that Election Day is drawing near. Signs are popping up and ads blanket TV stations. Sadly, many of the local positions have been ignored due to buzz of the congressional and presidential campaigns. One of those is the race for the Elkhart County Council.

I feel that with the economy still down and finances tight, we need a leader who will fight for true fiscal responsibility and limited government. That leader is Tom Stump. He has proven himself to be an independent thinker, not bound by traditional party lines. As the president of the Goshen City Council, he has put forward real cuts in the place of tax increases. That is what we need to do on all levels of government. I believe that he is a man of integrity and I respect his stand on spending and other important issues. I urge you to join with me in voting Tom Stump for Elkhart County Council.

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

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?
