Concerning Measures 66 & 67 Well, the local people have no shortage of good, reasonable arguments against these “Stick-it to the People” Measures. Letters in the EO on January 2, 5, and 7 were well thought-out and written. I applaud their writers. But, we still have a conundrum concerning how to vote. Vote against these destructive taxes and our “Rep resentative Government” threatens to cut out funding for schools, law enforcement, and release criminals- ouch! That makes it a hard choice, but why? Considering public safety is the primary function of American governments, and the people have consistently voted for our children’s education, why does this happen regularly? Well duh, have you ever considered that this hap pens by design, even after you’ve been conned by your elected “representatives” many times. Consider: never do their grandiose ideological, social engineering, green ecology giveaway programs, the union or group that elected them, or their special interest campaign contribu tors suffer. Of course not, those funds are safely written into legislation that won’t be touched. Representative government has become an oxy-moron in America today. We elect people who then serve special interests because we don’t watchdog them enough or fire them when they stray. Then, when our tax money isn’t enough, they write a bill to fund schools, law enforcement, and prisons. If we vote against it, they pun ish us by taking away what the people need, not what the politicians and their ‘keepers’ want. They are completely out of touch with those they supposedly represent. Well, let’s let these clowns know who they work for. Vote NO on 66 & 67, then let’s clean house in Salem this fall. Vote every one there long enough to “know his way around” out of office - that’s when they’re dangerous. Get rid of ‘career’ politicians and go back to good people who want to serve a term or two to pay back their coun try or state for what they’ve gained through America’s freedoms. Get rid of all those who have fed at the public trough so long they think we work for them. Ray Grace Heppner To Congress Regarding the Health Care Bill Letter to the Editor: So, how many bribes is it going to take to pass this bill? You truly are making history. You are passing a bill that the people are over whelmingly against. A bill that is going to raise insurance rates, the cost of health care, taxes, and the federal deficit all in one fell swoop. Not to mention it’s going to lower the quality of health care. This is common sense that if you add 30 million people to the system and don’t add doctors and nurses, you are going to lower the quality of care. But the worst thing about this bill is it’s going to bankrupt the nation, no matter how good you try to make the numbers look. This bill is full of corruption and secret deals and your name is going to be associated with it if you vote for it. Show us you have some integrity and vote against this bill.
