Letter to the editor

Found this in the zombie's head cavity. Feel free to borrow it, edit it, repost it. Whatever tickles your tentacles.
I am supporting Tanya Lohr to represent our District in the WI State Senate. It is time for West Bend, Jackson, Grafton, Hartford, and all of the other areas of this District to have a Senator who will truly listen to our concerns and not merely those of wealthy backers and political extremists. The difference in this race could not be starker. Glenn Grothman has spent his many years in office reflecting the great British statesman Edmund Burke’s idea that constituents elect their representative’s judgment.
In contrast, Tanya Lohr believes that legislators should reflect their constituent’s views and try their best to accommodate and compromise on behalf of all citizens. For just a few of Grothman’s judgments, he believes women do not value money and should not get paid equally to men, that education is not important and neither are teachers, that single parents are by definition child abusers, and in defiance of all evidence or logic that only tax cuts for the wealthy will bring jobs back.
Tanya Lohr believes we are a community. She does not call her fellow Wisconsinites “slobs” they way Glenn Grothman did. And she will not ignore constituents who disagree with her. Tanya Lohr has stated that the working people of District 20 pay their fair share in taxes. Let us spend those revenues on the investments that will really attract jobs such as good schools, safe and clean streets, quality parks, and a great public library system. Do not let Glenn Grothman throw our money away begging companies to come here, let companies come here because we are a great community with smart, hard-working residents where families will want to settle.
