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.

No change from Drake

As two of the earliest supporters of Glenn Nye, we are outraged at his vote against health care reform. Why did we bother fighting to defeat Thelma Drake if he votes the same way she would have?

He was quoted as saying he voted his conscience.

Our conscience tells us to look for someone to challenge him in the primaries.

You should happy! Liberal Democrats said Drake always voted with Bush. Now you have a Democrat who thinks for himself - you should be happy. He votes his conscience, but you take him to task. Some honesty, please!
