To the editor:

I am writing to you as a candidate for your state representative to Carroll County District 5. After retirement I moved here to escape a big, centralized government that constantly trampled your constitutional and property rights. Some would call me a flatlander. I consider myself a patriot.

if you want to live in a country ruled by religion move to Iran, otherwise vote Republican and you will have the same thing here.

On the other hand, if you cherish the rule of law, vote Democratic. If you cherish global stability, vote Democratic. If you cherish truth, vote Democratic.

I would say the author is not a flatlander, he's a flatworlder.
