Letter to the Editor

Put limits on political advertising

Wednesday, October 10, 2007

Dear editor:

This great republic was founded using Judeo-Christian ethics.

It now appears no matter if it is a Democrat, a Republican, or a third-party candidate, the one that gets the nomination to run for the office of President of the United States will be the one that spends the most amount of money on radio, television, newspapers, periodicals and other media advertising. It does not mean he or she is the most qualified person for the job.

This is a sad situation we find ourselves in. Have you got a solution for this problem?

Perhaps there should be a maximum amount of political advertising allowed with more debates so the American public can understand what each candidate stands for and their views on the political and economical conditions we are confronted with.

Voters would then be more informed and able to vote intelligently based on the facts, patriotism and qualifications instead of fiction and half-truths.

The most important thing is that every American should do their patriotic duty and vote.

Jack Streeter
