LTE on behalf of Tim Walz

10/24/2006

Dear Editor,

I am writing to encourage voters to vote for a change in Washington this fall. Gil Gutknecht claims to be “Our Congressman. “ The reality is that in 12 years he has not been an effective voice for the interests of all Minnesotans with zero legislative accomplishments on national policy that affects the lives of citizens in his district. (His drug reimportation bill went nowhere.)

Tim Walz presents a clear alternative.

A vote for Tim will represent a vote for a man who has spent his adult life representing core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage through personal service in the military and as a teacher of young people. It is time to send a man of real accomplishment and interpersonal effectiveness to Washington to represent our interests.

Peter Westre
