O'ROURKE'S 'GIVE UP THE FIGHT' STANCE

Beto O'Rourke has dominated the airwaves and print media recently
with his campaign to legalize drugs. His basic position is the war on
drugs is too tough to win, so let's surrender.

I am certainly glad he was not an elected official leading our
country during World War II -- "We can't beat the Nazis, it's too
tough to win this war, let's give up the fight."

He said on TV we could not win the war in Vietnam so we should have
quit trying.

These events in America presented tough times and tough choices to
the people. Luckily, our leaders in the past encouraged America to
keep up the fight, not quit!

Now O'Rourke wants us to quit fighting the drug war and give up.
That's not the elected leadership that I want in our country.

Besides, Mr. O'Rourke aren't you a city representative? Why don't you
work more on the city of El Paso instead of spending time trying to
solve Mexico's problems or criticizing Arizona for their laws?
