I have read William Barrante's letters in the past, and all were carefully thought out and well done. But in his January 25 letter [The Constitution Is Still Alive] he mistakenly tries to give the John Birch Society a bad name, either from what he has heard secondhand in error, or from just plain ignorance of the Society.

If this happens, voters will respond—and Governor Rowland and OHCA Commissioner Gorman will lose, not us. More ... I took a brief hiatus and hung my word processor on the hook for a few months regarding articles to The Voice for a few reasons.
