Letters to Editor - bLetters

We welcome your opinion on public issues, in either of two ways. You can submit a letter to the editor for possible publication in the printed edition. The Virginian-Pilot welcomes letters to the editor on all topics, although concise letters (150 words or less) on public issues will receive priority. Letters may be edited for length, style and clarity and writers are limited to one published letter every month. Please add your name, city, street address and daytime telephone number for confirmation.

The other way is to comment on the published letters in this blog. In this online forum, you can comment as much as you want by using the comment box at the end of each entry.

Man without a home

Congratulations to Rep. Glenn Nye, a one-term congressman. I seriously doubt his conscience had anything to do with his no vote.Nye hopes to get re-elected in a predominantly Republican area. What he fails to realize is that the Republicans will nominate and vote for a Republican in November. By alienating his Democratic base, Nye has assured his own defeat.

I'm a lifelong Democrat and I wouldn't vote for Nye again if Pat Robertson himself ran against him.
