Letters, Dec. 14 By Gary Nelson By Mail Tribune readers Dec 14, 2022 03:31 PM A A America’s moral standards In a recent column, Star Parker talked about how important “religion” was to the American way of life; to the “moral” way of life. I would give you an additional approach: the Rotary way. Here is the Rotary Four Way Test: is it the truth. Is it fair to all concerned. Will it build goodwill and better friendships; will it be beneficial to all concerned. If we all followed this approach every day, America’s moral levels would raise dramatically. Jerry Kenefick Ashland Condemn the statement The latest abomination from our former president calling for the “… termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution …” deserves Rep. Cliff Bentz’s immediate condemnation. Despite the 2020 election being the most open, secure and fair election in history; despite his own attorney general and election czar defending the legitimacy of the election; despite no evidence of massive election fraud; and despite 61 failed lawsuits aimed at overturning the 2020 election, he still cites his worn-out election fraud fantasy as substantiation for his outrageous statement. Silence, fealty, and impotence are not appropriate responses to the dangerous tantrums of a spoiled rich boy unaccustomed to not getting his way, (still the de facto leader of Bentz’s party). As our congressman, who has the ear of most of Eastern and Southern Oregon, it’s time for him to heed his oath of office and “…support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic… So help me God” by standing up with a loud, clear and public denunciation of this man and his words attacking our Constitution. Do it to keep America great. Do it to defend democracy. Please condemn this lunacy. Joseph Bova Ashland Responding to ‘The irony’ I beg to differ with the letter regarding McAndrews road: Yes we do ride bikes, walk dogs and still live in a neighborhood that was almost destroyed by the “decision makers” to allow a gas station to be built surrounded by family homes, and we enjoy the change in lanes which has slowed the raceway.
