Letter to the Editor

My letter in the local paper today:
Dear Editor,
I believe in truthful political campaigns. So why are extreme environmentalists who don’t live here helping fund Kay Barnes’ bid for Congress?
These environmental groups not only oppose domestic oil drilling, they also want to raise taxes on gasoline and enforce environmental restrictions on manufacturers and other businesses which would be economically devastating to them. Let’s be truthful: The only reason they are willing to give Ms. Barnes so much money is because she supports their agenda. Sam Graves supports drilling for American oil and enabling the development of fuel alternatives that employ people right here in Northwest Missouri.
Maybe Ms. Barnes has lost touch with the average voter around here, since she hasn’t lived here in the last 50 years.
Sincerely,
Woman who was paying $2.11 for gas only 18 months ago because the gas prices did not go up when Bush was elected and not when the Iraq Conflict began but when N. Pelosi stopped domestic exploration and drilling
