Letters to the Editor

See through the Falsehoods

November 2, 2022

Dear Editor: In the last few weeks in the Town of Purcellville elections, the Grewe team who is running a campaign based on statements like “good people, “good governance,” and the sky’s falling in with a claim of 110,000 empty square feet of store fronts in the town – it’s no wonder their campaign is…

Let’s vote for Hung Cao to be our next representative in Congress

October 20, 2022

Dear Editor: If you like the fun of bowling, you’re really going to love what can happen if you vote for Hung Cao to represent Loudoun County in the U.S. Congress. In bowling, you know you can roll a strike by knocking down all 10 pins, but first you must knock down the headpin to…

Why I cannot support a fellow Naval Academy Alumnus

October 14, 2022

Dear Editor: I am a 1969 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Like Hung Cao, I made a career of the Navy, although I never served in combat. CAPT (Ret.) Hung Cao has an impressive resume and is owed the gratitude of the nation for the service, sacrifice, and risk he undertook to serve…

It’s time to get out the vote

October 13, 2022

Dear Editor: Just two years ago, we were at 2 percent inflation with stable prices. Inflation and prices are now way up and real wages are down. Two years ago, we were the world’s largest exporter of oil and gas.  Even more than OPEC.  Why do we now have to ask OPEC and other countries…

Wexton will defend our democracy

October 6, 2022

Dear Editor: The voters of the 10th Congressional District, which encompasses all of Loudoun County, have a clear choice this year between our incumbent Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton and her Republican opponent, Hung Cao. Wexton will continue to defend a women’s right to make decisions over her own medical care.  Cao supports a total abortion ban,…

Ms. Wexton, where do you stand on the issues?

October 6, 2022

Ms. Wexton, where do you stand on the issues? After the Jennifer Wexton /Hung Cao debate, I was left with more questions than answers. The November election will be a referendum on the Biden Presidency. The top five issues in Virginia are:  the economy, parental rights to guide and protect their children, border security, skyrocketing…

I did not have any party endorsement

October 5, 2022

Dear Editor: It has come to my attention that Purcellville Mayoral candidate Joel Grewe has stated in a recent Facebook group that “Also, on the note of history I believe Karl Phillips in 2006 had a partisan endorsement from the LCDC (Loudoun County Democratic Committee) in a run for mayor here in town.”  Mr. Grewe’s…

Every picture tells a story 

October 5, 2022

Dear Editor: When you drive around the Town of Purcellville including Hatcher Avenue and around certain developer-owned properties, these are the signs you see. The signs on Hatcher Avenue of this “team” are in front of a home that is not occupied. This home is owned by the representatives/developers of Vineyard Square on 21st Street, and…

Be happy with less

September 28, 2022

Dear Editor: The Biden-Wexton energy policy is destroying our country. Sitting on top of the world’s greatest energy reserves, Democrat policy has forced our nation to beg Saudi Arabia and Venezuela to produce more oil.  Rather than be energy independent and access the massively abundant natural gas and oil that is right underneath us, Biden-Wexton…

Our election system is safe

September 22, 2022

Dear Editor: People in high places and with significant influence have, without credible substantiation, called into question the integrity of the locally directed American election system beginning with the 2020 election. This is exceptionally unfortunate and very serious, with democracy-ruining consequences, which can now easily find expression in the November elections right here in our own Loudoun County.…
