Editor, Gazette-Journal:

Attention all voters—this election is all about ideology, not the personalities. Is Obama more charismatic than Romney? Does Romney have more youth appeal? Is Kaine more personable than Allen? It doesn’t matter! This election will decide whether America pursues the socialist path on which Europe finds itself (and failing badly), or whether we will begin to restore our country to the Constitutional republic our founders gave us and which has served us well for over 225 years.

And it isn’t just the White House. To secure America on the second path, the Senate needs to be turned, and numbers count. Allen is one of those numbers. So you need to determine which path you want your children and grandchildren to be on. Show up and vote on Nov. 6.

Ted Williams
