Fairlawn, Ohio
Dear elected officials,
The real outrage is the enormous amount of money spent by the special prosecutor in his investigation. That is my money, the money I give but have no say in how it is spent. You all sicken me. You are taken with your own self-importance - you don't represent anyone other than yourselves and your own interests.
I took a ride through Carrol county in mid-southern Ohio last week. I saw people, Americans, living in poverty. I saw the quiet look of desperation on the faces of these americans. Shame on you all for spending what could be a wonderful legacy for the children of this county- what could be a better life.
I have lost all faith in you and I am not sure I will ever bother voting again.
David Shawlson
