Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:

For the past two years, how many people, myself included, have complained about the current state of our country? We, as Americans, have witnessed our freedoms slowly slipping away. The more important question is, “What are we doing about it”?

Change does not occur by merely talking about the problems, change happens when people act. We send our representatives to Harrisburg and Washington, D.C., to be our voice.

Good speeches and photo ops are not what we need. We need people who will take real action; who will stand with their constituents despite pressure from their own party members. Trish Haight is a Republican candidate for state representative in the 80th district. She is a strong, trustworthy leader who will not back down to the Harrisburg elites.

I challenge you to know your legislators and research the candidates. Do their actions back up their words? Change starts with you.

Andrea Moses
