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 place for Nye

Congratulations to Rep. Bobby Scott for voting for health reform. That is the kind of Democrat and public official we need: compassionate and visionary. What we don't need are congressmen in the Democratic Party like Glenn Nye. Haven't we had enough of officials who are on the wrong side of history for fear of losing their seats?

I am a conservative and Scott Rigell is my neighbor. But I just switched my vote for November to Glenn Nye, who listens to his constituents (isn't that his job???).

Dr. Berube - you should be giving thanks to Nye for voting NO. The Health Care Plan calls for deleting $500 million from Medicare that people your and my age need. Nye actually voted to help or improve your and my situation. Just because he is Democrat doesn't mean he can not think and, then, do what is best for his district. I am a die-hard Republican, but I will vote for Nye next November. He does not feel he must cater to Democratic Party lines.
