To the editor:

We need new blood in the U.S. Congress. Randy Forbes is a decent gentleman, but we need a person in Congress who knows how to promote common agreement on the huge problems that our country faces, one who knows how to compromise.

It’s OK for a congressman to say, “In God we trust,” but we need a representative who understands who it is that God helps.

We can begin helping ourselves by sending a different representative to Washington. This election, we have a real alternative.
