LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Government fears self-informed citizens

This coming November the tax paying citizen will be faced with several issues that will impact their personal incomes that their families so desperately depend on to survive.

Soon we will be swamped with a blitz of propaganda in the guise of a government Trojan horse telling the citizens why we need to vote yes to this or that candidate or issue.

What the government fears is a self informed citizen that has taken the time to examine the issues and the candidate's past record to determine if the candidate or issue is good for his or her family.

In closing, don't be a victim of government because you have not researched the social, financial, and moral specifics of the issue that is going to decide if what you have worked hard for is going to melt away like a snowfall on a hot July day.
