Letter to the editor - Time for Boswell to zip it

Friday, February 22, 2008

Leonard Boswell's quixotic crusade to deliver Windsor Heights a ZIP Code of its very own during a time of war and economic crisis should be an embarrassment.

Boswell also supports the development of coal-fired power plants when global warming is an accepted scientific fact. He voted for the Patriot Act and the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens and also voted for the NAFTA-like free-trade agreement with Peru, shipping more jobs out of our country.

I want to know that my congressman will vote to bring our troops home, fight global warming, strengthen our civil rights and stop the outflow of jobs. I want a congressman who isn't owned by a company, but passionately fights for his constituents.

Ed Fallon cannot be bought and will not waver from his ideals. I can't promise he won't help Windsor Heights residents gain their much-coveted ZIP Code, but I promise it won't be the hallmark of his time in office.

- Cory Ernst, Altoona.
