LINKING CANDIDATE TO DRUGS IS UNFAIR

Dear Editor: In regards to Robert Workman's letter of Oct. 20, "Drugs
aren't Libertarians' top issue": I don't call myself a Libertarian,
but I must respond to Mr. Workman, because I believe he has done a
disservice to Loretta Nall's campaign to become our governor.

Either he must be attempting to prevent her from becoming the
Libertarian candidate, or else he is simply uninformed about her
campaign issues. I have recently looked at her campaign Web site, and
heard her twice on local talk radio programs in Montgomery, and she
is far from being a one-issue candidate, although it seems media is
attempting to make her look that way.

I may not vote for her, but I will say that Loretta Nall impressed me
with her knowledge and her ability to more than hold her own when
being interviewed.

More impressive to me, is that as part of a project of mine, I have
submitted a question by e-mail to, thus far, eight candidates for
governor or lieutenant governor, and she was the only one even to be
courteous enough to acknowledge receiving it.

My question was: "Will you actively support the proposition of
bringing Initiative and Referendum [I&R] to the voters of Alabama,
both in your campaign, and afterward?" Loretta Nall replied the same
day I sent it to her with a response of "Yes."
