twitterLetter: Politicians should stick with issues
Monday, Aug. 14, 2000 | 9:53 a.m.
When you mention your race, some believe you will be extra partial to a specific nationality. I would rather hear you say you are the first to fix health benefits for us seniors or low-income residents instead of being the first of your nationality to run for vice president! To get my vote, I want issues.
I am not interested in your color, creed or where you come from. It's what you can do for me and the people that count. You may have just given a percentage hike to your opponent, although he's hoping his Hispanic nephew will help draw a minority vote. I wish the politicians would stick only to the concerns of everyone and not use crude tactics to get extra votes. If you're fighting for what the majority wants, you'll get all the votes you need.
