Exhibit A

Folks, the Loudoun Connection has provided us with the perfect illustration of a Dick Black voter; this is the base that Black can count on to turn out for him on November 8. Voters who think like this fellow - bless his heart - will vote no matter what. High turnout elections, low turnout elections, doesn't matter. That's why firing Dick Black is all about turning out the vast majority of 32nd residents who don't immediately think "gay plays!!" when asked what issues concern them the most. Otherwise, people like this get to determine what our representative in Richmond spends his time on.

The Other Side
October 19, 2005

To the Editor:

Seems to me - I could be mistaken - that your "opinion" section continuously denigrates Del. Dick Black. Look at yours from today, Muriel Gardner and Greg Friedman basically say he is not worthy of anything. Week in and week out the "Democrat" Connection gives ink to liberals. Where is the "other side" opinions?No porn in libraries.Yes "Under God" in Pledge of Allegiance.Yes to "moment of silence."No to Pro-Gay agenda.No more taxes when there is a surplus.If you do not think your child is not receiving quality education? Solution: First, stay married and then trade in your BMW, Mercedes or Hummvee, your vacation cottage, country club membership, Harley Davidson, Starbucks $5 coffee and send them to private schools. My four children have not set foot in public - bomb threat, pro-gay play, drug selling, flip-flop, cut-off mini skirts, no Christmas - schools, my wife stays home and takes care of them when they come home, and we are married - only once - with the same last name. And - morals - this is regarded as not important?Liberals are such hypocrites. State do this, government do this, school system do this. Look in a mirror. Why don't you do it? Look at what is important - hopefully it is your family. Dick Black does. Dick Black does not do anything? I know one thing he does: wins elections.
