Letters to the Editor
Russ Warner Fan Club
Mr. Dinger’s letter to the editor
in support of David Dreier (May 29)
reminds me of the “double speak”
that has dominated the political
speech of the Bush administration
and Mr. Dreier, in particular.
David Dreier said on Memorial
Day 2008, “What we say to honor
All of us at the new branch of
Gilmore Bank send our warm
thanks and love for your support!
Sheila Cook
Sr. Vice President
Gilmore Bank, La Cañada
those who serve will never be more
than lip service if we don’t ensure
that our veterans are cared for when
they return home.”
Then, this week, Mr. Dreier
voted against the “21st Century GI
Bill” in spite of the fact that
Republican senators John Warner
and Chuck Hagel, as well as the
VFW and IAVA and Vietnam
Veterans organizations, voted in
favor of this bill.
Do you really believe David
Dreier represents the feelings of our
community toward issues facing
this country, Mr. Dinger? I certainly
do not share that feeling. I know
many in La Crescenta who would
stand strong in favor of supporting
our veterans as they return home,
who would support health insurance
for our nation’s children (which Mr.
Dreier voted against) and would certainly
not have favored the lavish
federal spending brought on by the
unnecessary war in Iraq. Mr. Dinger,
are you really a fiscal conservative
and support this administration?
Many of us support Russ Warner
in large numbers. We will work to
unseat David Dreier (contributor to
Tom Delay’s defense fund) in the
next election. Perhaps Mr. Dinger
should consider joining the true fiscal
conservatives who would bring
federal spending for the war under
control.
