This letter is to everyone who has a loved one in the military. Our so-called president has reduced our military to drastic numbers. Remember Benghazi? Ms. Clinton said stand down to all that wanted to rush to the aid of the besieged embassy. She let those people die, when she could have rushed many soldiers to their aid.

Suppose your loved one is trapped somewhere in a foreign country, and old Hillary says stand down. How will you feel if these soldiers are your relatives? Obama has steadily reduced our military to a skeleton force. How are we supposed to stand off an attack on this country? Don’t think it will not happen. Remember Pearl Harbor? Dec. 7, 1941?

This part of the letter is to Democrats. There has been an unusual rash of pulling up Republican signs or destroying them. This has not been the only year this has been done. All of this is always done to Republican signs. Come on you Democrats, what’s fair is fair.

Conservatives aren’t messing with your candidates’ signs. Are you so afraid that a conservative will win that you have to resort to these tactics? I know the answer to that — it is yes.

Democrats have always resorted to tactics like this. Come on people, we all have a right to our own beliefs. I’m a conservative, you are a liberal; OK, but let’s be fair after all — we aren’t a third world country.
