In response to Barbara Peacock’s letter in a recent paper regarding “spreading the wealth around,” there are just a few things to clarify regarding her biblical applications.

The Sketch Pad cartoon on page A6 of Tuesday’s paper, besides being almost two months late, contained some falsehoods.

Both Barack Obama and John McCain love this country; however, important differences remain.

I was reading the Oct. 14 issue and was surprised at the headline about “voters singing the blues.” You wrote “… the Commonwealth and historically Republican Prince William County will turn the corner into staunch Democratic territory.” Where do you get this information?

Those of us that vote in the 11th Congressional District have the opportunity this year to help elect the type of leaders that this country desperately needs.

I take exception to this newspaper’s equating the spray painting of McCain supporters’ homes with the changing of Obama signs to read Osama — more of a prank than malicious destruction of property.

I am writing to question the judgment of your paper when you endorsed Polk, Miller and Leeper for Manassas Park City Council.

I am a registered Democrat but am voting for McCain this year.

My major disappointment with the Bush administration has been his failure to unite us as a nation. Instead, he purposely divided us with his administration’s arrogant partisan policies and behavior.

America has been heading toward this economic crisis for decades and this election will play a major part in determining how long it will last. 

The Oct. 26 article, “Where they stand” does a great disservice to Virginians as they prepare to go to the polls on Nov. 4. 

Over 300 years ago, our legislative forefathers had the foresight to create the constitutional officer concept as a check and balance system on local government.

In response to Robin Touchet’s statement that people who vote for McCain and Palin are hateful, fearful and ignorant, only one word comes to my mind. That is “liberal!” 

I appreciated your non-endorsement of either candidate. It is nice that you will let us decide on the facts.

On Tuesday, Americans will have the opportunity to vote in what many are calling the most important election of our lifetime. And as the polls and news media seem ready to call the elections decided, many may ask “why vote?”

Virginians need to stand up to the left wing on Nov. 4 and vote Keith Fimian for our 11th District Congressman. Voters need the small business background in Congress, not the big government socialism of the Democrats.

As Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for the past four years of one of the biggest counties in the United States, Fairfax’s own Gerry Connolly can truly bring about the real change that Americans are looking for.

The focus on Virginia from the presidential candidates gets to be a bit much.

Barack Obama is a risk we cannot afford to take. He’s campaigning on bringing us change, but what kind of change? Going for any old change for change’s sake alone, is, to quote an old saying, “a heck of a way to run a railroad.”

In May you published an “Our View” opinion piece criticizing the Manassas Democrats for not fielding a candidate for the Manassas City Council race. You stated that the people in this area need choice. Well, for the first time in more than 22 years, choice is part of the Manassas Park City Council ballot.

Manassas Park residents, when you cast your vote on Nov. 4, please cast them for incumbent City Council members Bill Treuting, Keith Miller and Bryan Polk and incumbent Mayor Frank Jones. 

I am appalled by the lack of respect for a person’s private property and freedom of speech that I am seeing in this city and county.

I did not understand your reasoning for discounting Mr. Peter Farrell’s business experience over Mr. Keith Miller’s.

I am being harassed by the Democratic Party!  Every other day, for at least month, someone has been at my door.

As a resident of Manassas Park, I would like to let your readers know about the highway robbery going on. The city council voted for a water services rate increase.

My name is George Adamson. I am the elected treasurer of the City of Manassas Park and will be retiring on Dec. 1.

I have been a subscriber to the newspaper for years and until now have never written a letter to the editor. After much consideration, I could not permit this error to remain unchallenged. 

Today is the last day that we will accept endorsement letters. The last day we will print endorsement letters will be Nov. 2.

It really irks me when a group of tax exempt churches from Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Prince William (called VOICE) would pressure our county board for taxpayer funds to support their mission.

As this election season comes to an end, I have a nagging question that has not been answered.
