Hopefully, voters will confront John with questions about his statement: "Encourage respectful dialog and creative policies that affirm the sanctity and dignity of all human life." Ask him where he stands on a woman's right to choose and Roe vs. Wade, and on Oregon's Death With Dignity law. On these issues, he's a Conservative. Be careful, voters. Look at the whole package, and know what you're voting for! Judith Stevens Medford Where are the details on plan? Billings Ranch water rights may not be enough to water a golf course. Water rights are tied to specific acres of parcels from specific sources for specific uses in specific quantities. All water is publicly owned in Oregon. A water right can revert to the public after five years of non-use. What is this water/waste water swap idea? Where are the details? Could it create more wetlands? Will it hurt fish? I hope Ashland's conservation community will look closely at this plan. Bruce A. Harlow Lisa A. Parrish Ashland Bush hasn't earned our trust Your recent editorial (Aug. 5) tells us to support our president in not taking chances, not second guessing terrorist alerts. So who knows? When in "doubt," as the administration knows, put images of terror in front of the American people: armed soldiers on buses and in from of Citicorp, and raise the alert to orange. You ask us to support and believe a man who has lied, deceived, exaggerated and based his four years in the White House on images of fear, aggression, prejudice and hatred and has isolated Americans from the world, thus putting us in more and real danger. A man who is surrounded by men who are profiteers, war criminals, liars, manipulators and who are unexcelled examples of greed, corruption and arrogance, who have no regard for our Constitution, or personally for the American people. Think deeply about the contradictions your editorial presents.
