Dear Editor, stand• how the people in
"You can have a cattle the coal regions of east-
farm but we will bank- ern Kentucky feel when
rupt it', "you can have
a processing factory but
we will bankrupt it", "you
can have a construction
business but we will
bankrupt it". If these
words had been said by
President Obama in re-
gard to our Bath County
businesses, almost no
one would vote for him.
So, we need to under-
they heard President
Obama say that with
"Cap and Trade" legisla-
tion, we could build coal
generated power plants
but they would be bank-
rupted even though elec-
tricity rates would of ne-
cessity "skyrocket" (his
word).
You can also under-
stand the frustration of
our mountain neighbors
when Ben Chandler en-
dorsed the Obama agen-
da and voted for "Cap and
Trade". This could argu-
ably be the worst vote
ever cast by a Kentucky
legislator against his own
Kentucky people which
would put thousands out
of work and send electric
rates through the roof.
Of course, in his twenty
years as a career politi-
cian, Chandler has made
over two million dollars
from taxpayers and he
may not worry about
electric bills.
Also included in the
"Cap and Trade" bill was
a little known provision
to tax farmers for their
livestock that would pro-
duce methane gas from
cow manure. What a taxi
That would affect Bath
County farmers.
It is a dangerous time
in America when our
government gets so big
and so intrusive that they
can determine which
businesses they will save
and which they will save
and which businesses
they will "bankrupt".
The free enterprise
system and small busi-
nesses are in the balance
in this election and for
us the choice is bigger
and more costly govern-
ment with higher taxes,
more regulatory oppres-
sion and less freedom,
or smaller government,
lower taxes, reasonable
regulations and more in-
dividual freedom.
For the above reasons
and many more besideff,
I support Mitt Romney
for President and Andy
Barr fob 6th district con-
gressman and I ask you
to do likewise.
Sincerely,
Lowell C. Rice
Dear'Editor,
After much thought and
prayer I decided to write
this letter. It's a beautiful
day today. It is great to be
alive and enjoy the peace
and freedom we have in
our small town of Owings-
viUe, Bath County, Ken-
tucky.
Having lived much of
my 82 years in Owings-
ville, I love the people
and community spirit we
can feel here. I have been
an active member of the
Slate Avenue Owingsville
First Church of God for
58 years.
My first pastors were
Dale Whalen and his wife
Agnes. Their special love
and witness made it a
wonderful place to fellow-
ship. My children, grand-
children, and now great-
grandchildren have been
raised in this church.
We as Americans enjoy
the freedom of speech
and freedom of press to
write or say whatever we
wish. This is what sepa-
rates a democracy from
a dictatorship. Unfortu-
nately these privileges are
often used in hurtful and
damaging ways. This is
especially true when po-
litical.Views are expressed
in local, state, and national
races to distort the truth.
In thinking about some
of the money, time, and
effort being put forth in
our community involving
politics and the selection
of one candidate or politi-
cal party over another, I
believe that if this effort
of time and money was
spent raising money and
aiding New Hope Clinic,
Christian Social Services,
Salvation Army, or per-
haps even giving a raise
to our underpaid work-
ers, they wouldn't have to
worry about next month's
rent now would they?
Also think what such
a combined effort of all
Christians and churches
coming together for a
spiritual revival of love,
unity, and care would
mean. The church mes-
sage from Christ de-
mands nothing less than
this. If we believe God's
work we know when this
happens the church will
see the fruit of love and
mercy. Of course whether
this happens depends on
all of us putting aside our
differences and jealousies
and putting others first.
As spirit filled• Christians
we have to learn to be
tolerant of others beliefs
and views, giving them
the credibility of having
enough wisdom to make
their own choices, wheth-
er we agree with them or
not.
As to the present race
between Andy Barr and
Ben Chandler, I have no
remarks to make about
Andy Barr, only that he
probably is a worthy and
capable Candidate. In my
opinion any person who
has the courage to place
his name 'on a ballot for
any political office, know-
ing that he and his fam-
ily immediately become
open targets for anything
the press or people in
general vdsh to say about
them, has to be brave.
As to Ben Chandler,
presently serving as our
6th District Represen-
tative and seeking re-
election, fact check: his
constituents in Congress
consider him a person
who can't be pigeon-holed
or poisoned political part-
nership. He always votes
to defend the shrinking
Middle Class. He resides
in Versailles, Kentucky
with his wife Jennifer and
three children, where
they attend the Pisgah
Presbyterian Church.
The past week a phy-
sician of mine who also
lives in Versailles told me
he knew Ben and often
saw him shopping in the
grocery store, and also
saw him at ball games.
Ray and I personally
knew Ben's grandfather,
A. B. "Happy" Chandler
who served as governor
of Kentucky twice and
U.S. Senator once. Ma-
jor accomplishments of
his second term were
enforcing the integration
of public schools, and es-
tablishing the U.K. Medi-
cal Center of Kentucky
which was later named for
him. It has become one of
the major cancer hospi-
tals in the nation, known
throughout the country.
Having known the
Chandler family for many
years and their concerns
for the underdog and
common man "I WILL
VOTE FOR BEN CHAN-
DLER NOV. 6th".
If you aren't bored yet I
have a few more thoughts
on this subject. As I stood
in the cemetery today and
looked at the VA marker
• on the foot of my late
husband's grave which is
engraved with his name
"Ray Freemon Bailey
1925-2012", the words
jumped out to me - "Ray"
"free-man". Yes, he was a
free man; he fought com-
bat as a tail-gunner on the
air-craft carrier Bon-Hom-
me Richard during WWII
to be that!
When he came home
and later became active
in politics, some races he
lost, some he won, but his
friends were still friends,
family still family. Not
once in those years did I
ever hear him belittle or
judge anyone who didn't
support him or his politi-
cal party.
He was an independent
thinker who chose to
make up his mind about
issues - giving others the
same fight without undue
influence from anyone to
control them.
We as Americans take
for granted our freedom,
forgetting the many brave
men and women who
gave their life's blood to
preserve it.
The fight to vote as we
choose without fear oi
persecution or prejudice
is not only a privilege but
a "DUTY".
I urge every registered
voter to go and vote for
the candidate of their
choice November 6th. If
you are concerned with
what happens in Ameri-
ca, Kentucky, and Bath
County - VOTE! VOTE!
VOTE!
After all the signs come
down and the dust settles,
we can congratulate the
winners, console those
who lose, then begin to
unite, coming together,
loyal Americans and good
citizens, working togeth-
er to make our Country,
State and County the best
it can be. We will pray to-
gether for leaders who
have been elected by the
majority that god will give
them what they need to
heal our country.
Thank you for reading
this.
Mrs. Ray (Donna Jean)
