Letter Of The Day

I first must state that I am a lifelong "conservative" Republican. Having said that, our country is in dire straits.

The latest Abramoff scandal illustrates who controls this country - the lobbyists. Both sides of the aisle are concerned only with getting re-elected. The only solution I can see is term limits.

Prior to the 1994 Republican takeover of both houses, all we heard from them was term limits. Since then, it isn't mentioned. The only things they have accomplished since gaining control are to spend more money and to enhance their wages, retirement and medical plans, all on the back of the taxpayer.

President Bush is doing an excellent job for the most part, but our problem is with the Congress. Vote all the bums out, regardless of their party.

-Rick M. Nord, Norwalk.
