Edna from Portage wrote a great letter to the editor in the Post Tribune.

<blockquote>I believe the voters of the 1st congressional district should be more informed for the fall election.

Rep. Peter Visclosky is very proud of his earmarked (pork barrel) spending that our children will have to pay for after he is retired.

High gas prices are a major issue that affects all of us each and every day of our lives. The congressman and Republican challenger Mark Leyva differ drastically on this and many other issues. Please visit www.markleyva.com and compare.

Our congressman wants to tax the domestic oil industry on their profits, for which the consumers will pay. We need to drill and become oil independent.

Until this happens, we will continue to see layoffs in the auto industry and the end of many independent truck driver jobs. Don’t forget the high grocery prices it brings.

It is very clear which candidate cares about the working person. Please vote with clear vision on Nov. 4.</blockquote>

November 4th is the big day indeed.  Please consider writing a letter to the editor in your local newspaper in support of Mark between now and then.  We need more people like Edna to step forward and publicly support Mark.
