Election letters for Sept. 5

Amendment 49 good for workers

Why are many Colorado governments acting as banker and collections for special interest groups? Why? Who cares!

It's not the business of government. It's a recipe for corruption.

Governments collect money through their payroll systems, bundle it up, and hand it off to nefarious special interests. These groups then turn around and give the same money back to politicians to the tune of millions of dollars. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, and the taxpayer is ignored.

Amendment 49's reforms are working in 12 Colorado counties.

With 49, the people can make one statewide standard, an Ethical Standard. Yes, we can!

Shame to those who vote Democrat

To all Americans, what we saw in Denver all week was proof that the liberal Democrats are good at making hollow promises and spending money.

This country should be ashamed of a political party that spends more than $6 million on one idiot's speech.

Anyone that votes for a junior senator with as little experience as Obama should have their taxes raised and leave the rest of us true Americans be. Even Hillary Clinton dislikes him, but stood at the podium and lied about it.

Go Democrats.

Women like me support Palin

On McCain's selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as VP, Congresswoman Diane DeGette (D-Colo.) said, "I think it is an insult to women that the McCain campaign would think that simply because he picked a woman as his running mate that women would suddenly vote for him."

DeGette can read Sen. McCain's thoughts, yet fails to come close in her interpretations of thoughts from women like myself, who are not elite feminists.

Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.) said, "I have never heard of her (Sarah Palin)."

Salazar makes decisions on deals that impact your food and fuel supplies; yet fails to know of Sarah Palin.
