    Kentucky 25th House District

    Put hate aside

    I want to send the best wishes possible to President-elect Barack Obama. I can say I have nothing but the highest hopes for Barack Obama’s presidency as I know my whole family does and believe most Republicans do.

    I think most Republicans wish him great success with the economy, race issues, world leaders and all issues that involve America. What is good for America is good for my children and grandchildren and I only want the best America for them.

          Why I voted for Barack

    I voted Oct. 27 because I am a full-time student and resident assistant at Western Kentucky University. I will be in Bowling Green on Election Day.

    I voted for Sen. Barack Obama because he knows how to better America.

    Sen. John McCain is simply revising President George Walker Bush’s current policies. You may hear it often, but that is not the change America needs.

    Doing with less

    A few weeks ago, we saw our government in Washington, D.C., require us to bail out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and banks. It had to be done “right now” — it couldn’t wait.
