Look into complaints

Fri., Sept. 12, 2014

I scan the letters to the editor each day and have noted many letters opposing Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. I believe they are an organized effort to defeat her in the coming election.

They are written in a vitriolic manner and with emotional statements that I find all too common in political opinion. Since many of them contain no specifics and opinionated generalities, I discard them as such. However, my concern is that anyone reading them who is not fully informed will be influenced.

Folks, please look into any allegations and see the basis. Often, her vote against a proposed policy is because of consequences that constituents will experience down the road.
