Dear Editor,With the upcoming election season close at hand it is now more important that ever to know the candidates at all levels of government and what they stand for. Ads and fliers don’t tell the whole story. Know the candidates voting records because actions speaklouder than words.It is our duty as American citizens to take the time to register, vote, and understand the issues.Nearly all of us have had fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, grandfathers, and etc. that have served in the military fighting to preserve our freedom and protect our right to vote.The future of American does not rest in the politicians but on the people who step up to change the culture of America.
