Support for Stein
Dear Editor, Bill Wolf has served two terms as our state representative. He has established a record on which we can judge his service. If you really feel he has been a good representative, vote for him again. I, on the other hand, will not be voting for Bill Wolf for the following reasons: I do not trust Bill Wolf to work for what is in the best interest of our district. He is influenced ...
Wolf is a great choice
Dear Editor, October 19, the Public Forum carried a letter by James Graner admonishing all of us: Do your homework before voting. It is short, powerful, understandable, truthful, compelling and will be very helpful, if the advice is followed. I am a third generation Great Bend native, and am a graduate of Great Bend Senior High. Except for my college years, and two years in World War II (Navy destroyer radio operator-South Pacific), I have ...
Support for Koelsch
Dear Editor, I would like to express my support for Frank Koelsch as a candidate for the Fourth District county commissioner position. As a long-time resident of Ellinwood, I have personally observed Frank's dedication to serving the citizens of Barton County. Frank has lived and worked in Barton County his entire life, and he has first hand knowledge of how local governments operate. He has served as a city commissioner, and he is currently in ...
Issues matter -- petty attacks don't
Dear Editor, Issues matter. Petty attacks don't. Character is implicated when one misrepresents the facts. If anyone doubts where Christina Stein stands on Obamacare, go to kansasfreepress.com and read her article of Jan. 5. She wrote an article on it. It is not necessary to "cherry pick words" or "twist and take out of context" to conclude that she supports something even more radical than Obamacare. When I say that she thinks the Obama bill ...
Support for Radenberg
Dear Editor, I became acquainted with Kyle Radenberg through the Great Bend 9.12 Coalition group. Kyle was instrumental in the formation of the local 9.12 group. We elected her our president because she exhibited strong values of integrity and dedication. Kyle is a Republican candidate for District 1 county commissioner and I believe her values would make her an asset to the commission. Connie Klepper, Ellinwood
Don't let big money sway election
Dear Editor, Next month monumental decisions will be made at the polling places. In the First Congressional District we have three choices. Let me say that I have been a Republican all my life and voted in every election since the mid '60s. We have said we don't want career legislators in office, but in the primary we elected one, Tim Huelskamp. I cannot vote for him, he showed no leadership in the Kansas Senate, ...
Radenberg brings 9.12 principles to commission
Dear Editor, I'm supporting Kyle Radenberg for county commission. I first became impressed by her when my wife and I attended a 9.12 meeting. Kyle was the moderator. She is donating her time for what she believes in. Nine principles, among them: America is good, belief in God, the family is sacred. Twelve values, among them: honesty, charity, courage, and personal responsibility. About 50 people with the same beliefs attend these meetings. Everyone is welcome. ...
Nobody gets the bill for liberal agenda
Dear Editor, In many of her writings (earlier this year, before she started campaigning) Christina Stein rails against big corporations and the massive tax breaks they are supposedly given. Yet when facts are applied we see that the U.S. has the second highest top corporate tax rate in the industrialized world (39 percent plus up to 12 percent state corporation tax). Japan is at 40.6 percent (includes municipal and enterprise taxes). When state taxes are ...
Kayette should find a new cause
Dear Editor, It's that time again: Great Bend High School Kayettes members will be canvassing neighborhoods asking for donations for UNICEF. We'll open our doors, see our local kids and think of impoverished children in third-world countries who need our help to obtain life-saving immunizations and vitamin-enriched rice. And we'll be proud to see these young women in front of us wanting to do something to help. But I must inform and plead with you: ...
Careful, if you judge your Judge
Dear Editor, It always amazes me how many people I talk with about God stand in judgment of Him. When the subject of religion and God arises in a conversation, with me around it generally does, most people take God to task with their questions. "Why does a loving God send people to hell?" "Why does a caring God allow so much sin in the world?" "Why does a compassionate God allow so much suffering ...
Stein will address local property taxes
Dear Editor, There are many reasons that I support Christina Stein, and I would encourage voters in the 11th District to join me. I am impressed with her energy and her vision for central Kansas. She saw a need for someone to advocate for our communities, and instead of sitting back and complaining she is giving of herself to make changes for the better. Christina Stein is committed to our community. In the time Bill ...
Mom is offended by campaign letter
Dear Editor, Christina Stein is my daughter. When she told me about her plans to run for public office, like any mother, I was excited, yet concerned because politics is rough. Christina has been publicly campaigning for months telling people what she would do as their state representative and keeping it positive. She's even told me what a nice man Bill Wolf is. Mr. Wolf began his public campaign Oct. 10 by having a surrogate, ...
New class is worth the cost
Dear Editor, I am writing to provide a positive recommendation for the upcoming six-week program that will be presented by John and Donna Krug, called "Kansans Optimizing Health." I participated in this program last spring and found it to be beneficial and well worth my time. Any adult with a chronic health problem or who is living with, or caring for someone who has a chronic health problem might also benefit from this program. A ...
At the end, we will all meet God
Dear Editor, When we do something great, as when we get up in the morning, the sun is rising and birds singing, squirrels scurrying, a gentle breeze blowing, we look up at the sky, an amazing excel of colors and shapes, flowers of all colors, sizes and shapes for us to start a new day, no matter what's going on in our lives, we all have this to appreciate every day. Who's responsible for these ...
Vote Wolf to preserve personal liberty
Dear Editor, The most significant threat to individual freedom in America does not come from the Taliban or any other foreign threat. It comes from committed socialists like Barack Obama. The individual mandate enacted within Obamacare is a shining example. Never in our Constitution's 223-year history has the Commerce Clause been interpreted to allow Congress to force citizens to engage in economic activity, rather than simply to allow it to regulate those who choose to ...
