Letter: Peterson’s duplicity 
The local Chippewa County Area Visitors Guide contains a paid advertisement by Collin Peterson for himself. He states, “As your representative I’ve tried to maintain my independence in Congress. Sometimes that has meant opposing my own party leaders.” He obviously has not tried hard enough. Dick Morris, in his book “Catastrophe,” has documented Peterson voting with his party leaders 91 percent of the time. Peterson calls himself a Blue Dog, but he is actually a lap dog for Nancy Pelosi and the Obama regime. One is reminded of the Roman god Janus with two opposite faces — one for his ultraliberal Washington colleagues and another for all us rubes out here in flyover country. Judge him by the political company he keeps and consequently the way he votes.

Letter: The Pelosi-Peterson connection
Nancy Pelosi is destroying the America I hold dear. Her blatantly socialist agenda is killing jobs, poisoning the economy, and making it impossible for future generations of Americans to enjoy the standard of living we currently take for granted.

Letter: Emmer, Peterson endorsement
At the state level, I dread the thought of taxes and spending getting out of control. I, also, don’t wish to see the definition of marriage changing. The correct equation should remain indefinitely: Marriage equals one man plus one woman. I wholeheartedly endorse Thomas Emmer (Republican) for Minnesota governor.
