Dear editor,
I give thanks for the life and service of Rep. John Lewis, who passed away last Friday.
He is a true American, a man who has shown us qualities that all of us can commend. His words are so true, that liars are brought into the bright day of light.
He is an example of integrity, he showed us what courage is like and how to live.
His life is a model for us all.
I also thank Jim Gilpin for his recent letter to the editor. It supports his view for Dr. Roger Marshall, M.D., for the U.S. Senate. It is the kind of letter that a citizen writes to support his candidate. That is the way it should be.
However, our national politics are so toxic, in my view, that there is one thing that needs to be said. It is so serious that if it continues it will bring destruction upon our democracy. So in my view there is one thing left out in Jim’s letter.
It is the removal of Donald Trump, and we best work to that end as voters in this next election. I hope and I trust that Dr. Marshall would serve that healthy end as well.
Respectfully,
John Wesley Skillings,
Iola, Kan.
