[Winona Online Democracy] I enjoyed the article. But then I agreed with it. I am afraid for our country when I think of how many good people would read 'anti-American' into Gunyou's article. This reminds me of conversations I was involved with recently regarding the value of local elected officials and how much more approachable and responsive they are. That, in my mind, is what true democracy in this country was based on. A good example locally is the broad spectrum of support for the Learning Levy. We have staunch Conservatives at the lead of this levy effort working hand in hand with those labeled Liberal. People working together for what is best for our community's future. They are not blindly hiding behind rhetoric to feather their own nests at the expense of our future. Why can't our State and National elected officials do this. I don't know how to fix that but I do know that the local positions up for election and the local levy issue are just as important at the hotly debated national issues. We should be sure to get out and vote and encourage others to vote even if all we vote on are those local positions. It is at the local level that we can make a difference even in spite of those at the higher levels of government.
