Dear Editor:

As our 2012 election are coming up in November, I like to exercise my rights of free speech, and press and media, as with our news publications. And I do think it’s time to start looking at the candidates we will be voting for.

And I do think if we, the property owners and commonplace taxpayers and back counties residents are going to elect someone to represent our rights against big business and coal and gas, we are going to have to elect some of the less known candidates and at least give them a chance to represent us. I myself do swing more toward the Republican and Mountain parties.
