President Don Young
By Peter Stanton

Browsing through the letters here I happened upon the idea that
"What we need is someone like Don Young in the White House[.]"
This idea truly struck me. It's amazing. A Don Young Presidency
might be an unprecedented event in the history of these United
States!
What precedent might it set? Don Young would perhaps be the most
corrupt American president in history.
I have personally met Don Young, and not only is he dislike-able
in person, but his actions of late alone are unarguable proof
of the man's fall from whatever ethical standards he might have
had. Why would our representative create an earmark for a road
in Florida that is completely unrequested by the representation
and people of the area, but beneficial to a campaign contributor?
Why would he spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal
fees? Why do we think that keeping a politician around for decades
won't make them feel comfortable enough to start reaping the
benefits?
I really don't think it matters what your political persuasion
is on whether Don Young should be reelected as our representative
in Congress. Please vote for Parnell, LeDoux, Berkowitz or whomever,
but Don Young has simply got to go.
