To the Editor:

Thank you so much for so eloquently stating your opinion in this article about “not much room left in gutter.” There are many of us that just want to see our political leaders act like adults and not be so far to the left that it destroys any credibility the United States has in this world. 

Many of us have seen, especially us baby boomers, how other nations abuse their citizens by not allowing them to have a say in their government. You can see this in Russia and China and many other nations. We as United States citizens have the right to be able to speak our minds and make our politicians uphold our values by voting for those we think can do their job for our best interests and not for their gain. 

I hope that civility does return to this great nation. Let’s hope everyone comes out and votes in 2018 and 2020 to accomplish this end. 

And, thank you for reporting the news in a civil way. Many of us do appreciate what our reporters and news people do.
