I was delighted to read Ms. Kupernik’s Oct. 6 letter how a recently constructed Fire Break due to our National or State Infrastructure efforts was going to help protect that family’s second residence and property in Western Colorado. Also, agreeing with Robin’s stance on voting’s importance to all of us. I would like to dissuade all readers from excepting her broad generalizations about the other political party she doesn’t and has never supported in all I’ve read in this paper. 

I’m just tired of all the negatives put out by our Democrat Party both here and nationally about their opposition. I think both the Democrat and Republican parties and most of their members are doing us all a great disservice by not advertising or promoting themselves and their own plans for the offices they run for. I feel it should be the duty of all Americans when voting to forget all these unfortunate negative messages and look less at both political party’s name calling and more at what can be done for all and not just a select few. 

So, if inflation, open borders, the coming lack of energy for our cars and homes and higher fees and taxes matter most, please keep supporting present Democrats and policies. Please remember those of us on fixed incomes who can’t afford the expenses of all these governments, all need protections and monies spent on us. Name calling politics don’t matter! Help in needs for basic assistances and for all our public infrastructures do.
